1 November 2012 BOM block picture's.
 

Hello Everyone,

Yes, it's November already & time to start making our November blocks for this year's calendar theme. I have just finished my block, so I will post the first picture. Let your imagination's go & see what you can come up with for you November Turkey block. I will be anxious to see how everyone's blocks will turn out. So lets have some FUN!!

:D :D :D :D

Nice turkeys SulaBug :D

Just love your turkeys, Sulabug.

Great example, Sulabug. Thank you

Your turkeys came out very nice. I did not get mine completed yet. I enlarged my turkey and added an extra row of feathers. I will try and work on it so to get it completed during this month. My daughter is going to need another surgery and treatments after. Thank you Sulabug for posting the turkey for me this month.

Thank You everyone for the nice compliments on my Turkey block for November. I am still adding embroidery touches to it & will post another picture when I get it totally finished. What a fun block this has been to make.

TOOMANYUFO'S..............I can hardly wait to see how your turkey block turns out. But please take your time getting it done, as we want you to take care of your daughter first. Give her a big HUG for me!!
:D :D :D :D

As much as I like the turkey block, I made another block. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving like you so no turkey's for us! With the November weather in mind I made a block called Wind Blown Star with an applique star in the centre of the block.

Nice turkeys! and I like the Windblown Star block too!

Anael..........What a Beautiful Wind Blown Star block you have made for the November BOM of 2012!! :D The color's & fabrics you have used, look awesome together. I Love it!! :D I have the very same green & pink Batik fabric you used in your block in my stash too & I really like it a lot. What an inspiration you are. Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

OK, I blew it! I posted on the other thread. Here's my turkey block.

Very nice blocks. Mary

stichinluvr.........No worries, your Turkey block turned out really nice. I love the background fabric too!! :D By posting it twice, everyone will get a better chance to see it this month!! :D Nice fabric selection's. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

November Calendar BOM Picture
 

I had a pattern for a Turkey Wall Hanging I plan to make .. so this is my attempt at my November Turkey block

That turned out real cute Judy. :thumbup:

Just wanted to say that all of the blocks have turned out great. I'll keep checking in to see how everyone is doing.

Judy.........what a wonderful Turkey block for the November BOM Calendar theme of 2012!! :D I love your pattern & all of the color's of fabric's you chose to make it with. I can just imagine how nice your wall hanging is going to be. Please be sure to share it with all of us, when you get it done. Thank you for sharing today.
:D :D :D :D

stitchinluvr, that's one cute turkey you made!
judy, nice and fat turkey :D Will you post a pic of your wallhanging here too please?

November's blocks are looking good! Its fun to see the different takes.
The Wind Blown Star is lovely too.

Mine is done, but I could have done something with the feet. Oh well. It was a learning experience. I used Wonder Under to fuse the pieces to the background.

Labeelady,
I love that feather fabric for the turkey's feathers. How perfect! Great job.

labeelady...........What a gorgeous Turkey block for the November 2012 BOM choice. The fabrics you have put together are really pretty. They just "POP"!! :D The feet look fine to me, but if you aren't satisfied, you can always add to them later on. Thank you for sharing your lovely block with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

Thanks, Jeanine! I knew when I saw that fabric in the store that I'd have a use for it some day!

I love needle turn applique and do it a lot, but I decided to jump in and do a raw-edge machine thingy...well my turkey is skinny and funny looking but he stays in my calendar quilt anyway! Just because he was so much fun to do and was my first machine applique!! Bless his funky little heart.....

missgigglewings..................He is absolutely darling & will be a treasured addition to your Calendar theme BOM for 2012!! :D You have done a great job & the fabric's are lovely. I think he is a winner for sure. Thank you for sharing with all of us today!!
:D :D :D :D

labeelady, Love your block! If you want to accent his feet a little more you could outline them in black or dark brown.

Missgigglewings, he is a very cute funky chicken- oops, turkey. LOL

This block has been a fun one to look at,as everyone posts. They are just too cute.Mary

Now that's a smug little turkey. Too small for anyone to want for Thanksgiving. He will survive and make you smile every time you look at him.

Lots of fun looking turkeys ladies.. Im still stuck on Octobers block. I have been working on gifts for Christmas. Need to take a day and get October and November done. :) I'd like to say time to get busy..lol but I have been busy. This quilt is so close to being done so I need to stay on top of it.. :eek:

Judy-

How do I order one!?!? Love it!

Turkey Block
 

Here is my Nov. block! I managed to get it done in spite of my machine making some very unusual sounds at the end.... time for a visit to the machine doc, I'm afraid. And, of course, I have an all day quilt class tomorrow...

Ok,turkey for Nov that fits perfectly. Having not made an Oct block yet this will get me in the mood! Lol Might just make that Jacl-o-lantern for Oct. will get busy.

Hugs,
Betty

lovelyl..........what a great Turkey block for our November 2012 Calendar theme!! :D Your back ground fabric is so cute, I love it. Your turkey looks to be very proud of himself too!! Thank you for sharing today & Good Luck with your machine at sewing class tomorrow!!
:D :D :D :D

Lovelyl I agree with Sula your background fabric is awesome. Fantastic job on the turkey:thumbup: I eyeballed the pattern and drew it bigger and then found it was easier to make individual feathers. I think his eyes turned out to look more owlish then I intended. LOL. But he is finished and ready to be quilted so I'm ready to attach all the squares once I get Decembers block done. :)

Jenniky.........Your Turkey block is just darling too!! :D I really like your idea about the individual feathers for his tail. You really had your thinking cap on for that great idea. I think his eyes look a little nervous, wondering if he will make it through turkey dinner day still alive!! Maybe he will get a Pardon from the President!! :D Thank you for sharing with all of us today.
:D :D :D :D

2 done
 

Here are 2 (still have 2 to go) I still need to stitch around them but would like opinions as to what color thread to use. My 1st thought is always black to give it pop. Definitely don't want to use matching.
What do you think?

Joyce..........your two blocks so far are Beautiful!! :D Your fabrics are so pretty & really make those turkey's POP!! :D I think I would use green & blue thread on the turkey to the left then two shades of blue on the turkey on the right. Like light blue around the dark blue fabric & dark blue around the light blue fabric. What ever you choose I know that it will turn out spectacular!! Thank you for sharing & we will be anxious to see the next two blocks.
:D :D :D :D

I agree with Sula Bug really like yur fabrics.. very nice job

Judy in Phx, AZ

I really like the front on view of your turkey on the left, could you please tell me where you found the pattern? I agree with the others about thread choice but I am also a fan of black.
