It's a new year and time for new challenges. I promised myself I wouldn't get involved in any BOM's this year so I could finish up the ones I have, but you know how that goes.
I have joined the Building houses from Scraps 2012 challenge. You are supposed to make a house every day all 365 of them. The blocks can be paper pieced, made by hand or machine. The block is only 3 inches and if that's too small for you they it be enlarged.
Now, I doubt I will be able to make a house every day so I am thinking about making a smaller quilt. If you are interested click here to get to the blog.
Sentimental Stitches and Dear Jane have combined to do a red and white mystery quilt. It will be a sampler featuring blocks from the"Infinite Variety" quilt exhibit.

All the information about this mystery can be found here. This looks like a lot of fun and I like red and white quilts so I joined.
And lastly I joined this BOM at the Temecula Quilt Co. This one wasn't free but it is very cute. The pattern came this week and it's just a little scary. I need to read better before jumping in. The little applique pieces are so small I can barely see them. If you want to try this one go here. So you see I am very weak. I just can't seem to resist. I need to join a support group.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
and Happy Stitching,
Nancy
I know the feeling Nancy! I always say I'm going to take a break from BOM's etc., and then find myself in so deep I can't see daylight before I know what's happening. But it's okay, because I'm having fun and creating beauty, and that's what it's all about, right? Enjoy your new projects!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have pieced and appliqued the Calico Garden and loved the experience.
ReplyDeleteI used the original pattern (from Hooplah patterns) that includes a borderie perse (or applique) border that I notice is missing from this version. It's a good thing ... I'm still stuck figuring out what I want to do there.
Two of your projects are on my own list of new temptations for the coming year, though I haven't officially joined in either one yet. The applique pattern is beautiful, though it does look like lots of small pieces, are you a needle turner, fusible, or freezer paper person?
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, three of your projects are on my list too :) All except the Calico Gardens. Should be a fun year trying to keep up! LOL... Happy New Year!
