January 2009 BOM Done!

[Denise L.]

Took me all day but I finished it.

I took a picture - here it is.

Everyone's hints and Sue's instructions were perfect. Cut, sew, press,trim. One step at a time but it came out almost perfect, it's perfect enough for me!

Love the fabric - bought it in Houston and I'm very pleased with it and the color key is helpful too.

Congratulations, Denise! Bowing real low in your direction......

I haven't manage to start the 2008 BOM yet. Ah well, I'll retire in 2017 and will have more time then.

:shock: :shock: :shock: WWOOWW!! Girl, YOU are quick!!! It turned out BEAUTIFUL!!

[Damaris E.]

Love your block Denise! I'm still finding fabrics.

[Damaris E.]

Great job, Denise! I'm using stash fabrics and have been working off and on for two days on mine. I have all the paper piecing done now and I just hope my units go together as beautifully as yours have done!

[Damaris E.]

What a beautiful block Denise. Now I know I'm going to do mine tomorrow. I have my patterns printed. I use freezer paper and don't sew to the paper. I sure hope my block comes out as nice as yours.

[Damaris E.]

Denise, love your block. I have all fabrics cut, and pattern ready to start, I think I will wait till tomorrow. Did do the house in the instructions, as I have not really done much Paper Piecing before. I think I can get it done, Sue's instructions are great, and so are Margo's tutorials.

I did have to do some "reverse sewing" here and there so don't think it was a breeze. I was thankful to have the day off where I could really concentrate. Doing this block after a full day of work would not have been easy.

Thank you all for your kind words. Oh and what have I been doing since I finished the January block? I'm finished the August 08 block. Yes, I'm still working on 2008. I had a wedding for my DD this fall and just found out she's pregnant!!!! I'm going to have to start planning a baby quilt or 2 or 3.... My first grandbaby and also my SIL's parents will first time grandparents too.

It's been a very eventful week.

Denise, I am so jealous of your speediness and beauty of your block. I know you are proud. Go girl, peg in mo

Wow, Denise, you're speedy. I only just decided what colors I want to use and haven't even begun pulling/buying fabrics! LOL. Great job!

[Frances L.]

Well I ordered my thread today so I should be able to start on mine sometime next week. Your block looks wonderful.
