BOMs Away!

Well I have my BOMs prepped and ready for stitching...but after seeing my blogging friend,  Marie's blocks, I really want to re-do mine!

Here's Marie's...see for yourself!  The top two blocks are from Buttermilk Basin's Mystery BOM (patterns are released on the third Friday of every month).  I love her blue letters and the snowy background print is so CUTE!  And the bottom two are from Linen Closet Designs's Mystery BOM (patterns released on the second Monday of each month).  Dang sweet and tiny...the blocks will finish off at 6"!  Love, love, love the grey wool in the baskets!

Here is a picture of  my second Buttermilk Basin Block, all ready for stitching.  Thanks again Stacey!  You have out done yourself with these pattern!


And Dawn Heese has created the sweetest basket pattern...FREE!  Thank you sew much, Dawn!
                                   
                            
We are so fortunate that we have such talented designers, giving so generously of their talent and time!  When you think about it, there is a ton of work in creating a pattern for a BOM!  Just think about it...First they have to come up with the idea...enough ideas for 12 months...then draw the design, make up the sample, take the pictures, write the instructions and then put it all into PDF format, then write a Blog Post about it!  And then do it all over again for the following month...and the month after that and the month after that!  Boggles the mind!...we are talking HOURS and HOURS of work!  We NEED to SHOUT out a huge... THANK YOU SEW MUCH, Stacy and Dawn!

And a thank you to Marie for sharing her projects...even if they are cuter!! :o)) I think Marie needs to share each and every month!  We wanna see!

Have a sunny Sunday and Happy Stitching! P

  1. Your blocks are lovely and what generous talented designers these two are. I downloaded my copy if the pattern also, just looking for the right background fabric :)

  3. I can't see or think of a reason in the whole wide world to re-do your blocks! I LOVE your E snowguy! In the midst of helping daughter yesterday, I stopped in at 2 shops searching for wool for continued progress on Let It Snow and Stacy's trucks. Hopefully I'll have a little time later on to decide on background and do some prep.

  4. Thanks for the lovely comments about my blocks. Yours are just as nice, our color choices are just different. I tend to go toward the darker primitive colors. Now it's hard to wait til next month.

  5. I'm stalled trying to decide on background for these two BOM.

    I'm leaning toward lighter for the snowmen, not sre about the baskets, that's what makes them fun, seeing others choices and making your own.

  6. Love the blocks and great wool choices. I need to cut mine out and get that one done and also the baskets, love those too. Sick weekend, so working on simple stitcheries, keeping my hands busy with the least amount of effort, lol.
