Quilt Doodles BOM

Just click on the link above for Quilt Doodles BOM

 

I've always enjoyed sewing/quilting.. :)

& Quilt doodles is my first BOM I've ever done...

 

I chose the same dotty white as I used in the first block..

Looked through my batiks & these are the ones I choose..

I had just a little square of the red flower & a fat quarter of the green...

I cut everything out &

sewed my pinwheel parts...

...only to realize that my pinwheel is backwards..

>.< doh!

 But.. I sewed everything together anyway...

 

funny thing about being Quilt Doodles Sister

is when I screw up and miss read her directions..

she's right on speed dial...

She told me.. '..Pinwheels do spin in different directions..'

 

I also opted out of doing the applique flower and yo-yo..

That's just me tho..

 

Also.. on another not.. Our mother has been doing

Quilt Doodles BOM too..

Mom's Jan BOM

 

Mom's Feb BOM

She's going to do the flower and the yo-yo..

 

Happy Sewing~

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



**Giveaway**

In honor of me getting the star quilt top done.. I'm doing a giveaway! All you have to do is follow me. Let me know what you think about my blog. Call it constructive criticism or sorts.. In about a week I'll draw names from those who comment.. What you'll win? How about the a few fat quarters? (I'll unload a picture soon)

 The puppies and I look forward to hearing your opinions!

I should be a super hero...

If I was a super hero.. I'd be called the Quick Quilter.. I'd save those Quilters from the Blahs.. They'd be inspired by my ablitlity to finish quilt tops in a single afternoon.. I'd protect them from Jack the Ripper... 

I finished the 'Urban Cabin' Quilt top today.. I have Thursdays off most weeks from the Bakery. Thats right?!?  I'm a baker.. :)  I love having Thursdays off, its a nice break.. So, on this Cold  day  (Oh how I love the cold...) I spent it with the pups in my sewing room.. Fuzzy hat on, slippers and a blanket over my lap..  But, look what I got done...

ITs so PRETTY.. I'm SO happy with it.. I think I'm going to go with black backing.. I will be cursing it later.. when I'm trying to bind it.. How to quilt it.. there are so many different options.. I should ask my sister C.. She'll know.. :)  OH C...  So, what to work on now? 

Happy Quilting to all.. and to all a good Evening.. I work the next couple of days at the Bakery and probally won't get down into the sewing room..  We are under a Winter Advisory for tomorrow into tomorrow night.. oh  how I just LOVE the snow...   But, perhaps we'll get snowed in.. :) Here's to hoping right??? ?
