My 1st BOM Rehab

Imagine.  Sinta started this group back in March and I finally worked on a BOM and can join in the fun!  All my blocks were finished.  They were just waiting for me.  They wait no more!  I got them into a filmsy.  Awesome!

FQS 2010 BOM using 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain.

I didn't buy the finishing kit.  I just did my own thing.  The sashing and borders are from Kate's Flurry fabric line.  I'm very happy these blocks are in top form.  I'm thinking of backing in flannel for some winter snuggling on the couch. 

Now I can start on the 2012 BOM using Vintage Modern with a clear conscience.  I've been collecting the monthly packets but storing them away for the time being.  I may pull block 1 out soon and get started.

Enjoy your day!

BOM Rehab

Sinta told me about her great idea last weekend and I forgot to post about it.  We all have them.  BOMs that we started with earnest and a plan and then it all falls apart.  I have a few.  One I'm totally not finishing and will give the blocks I have completed to Punkie.  She can do whatever she wants with them.  Others, I DO want to finish.

Sinta's idea... BOM Rehab!  Work on a BOM project over the weekend and then post your results on Monday.  You don't have to finish that weekend.  Just work on it.  Let Sinta know and she will post your hard work on her blog AND put you in the pot for a nice prize at the end of the month.  See?  You will (if you win) be rewarded for your efforts!  I plan on dragging out my Birdie Stitches and finishing those.  I think I'm on July's block.  Only 1/2 a bird is stitched.

C'mon and join in.  I am going to TRY.  I think I will give the iPad a break in the evenings and get to stitching again.

OH!!  Also, do stop by Sinta's blog and give her your congratulations.  She is now a proud GRANDMA!  Congratulations Sinta!

Enjoy your day!
