Snowflakes!!!!!!!!!!!
 
2 Attachment(s)
I know ... most of us do not really want to see MORE snow this year! :)
But when it comes to quilty things, that never seems to apply, does it?

Last summer I bought this block hanger while on a Shop Hop.
With great ideas, I brought it home.
It waited. It sat!
Last month, when everyone was talking about their BOM commitments, a brainwave came.
Why not, start my very own personal Theme BOM, a series of bound theme blocks.
Just one per month ... I CAN do that! :D

First one accomplished ... along with a theme mug rug.
Now to plan the February BOM.

Absolutely beautiful QuiltE, I have never seen a quilt stand like that, what a great idea, can't wait to see what you come up with next:thumbup:

Quilter 65 02-08-2014 03:03 PM

Very, very pretty. Thanks for sharing. I don't mind the snow but the sub-zero weather is getting a bit challenging!

Monika 02-08-2014 03:05 PM

Very pretty! And good for you for taking the plunge. I keep wanting to do that and can't seem to get it started.

RainyBC 02-08-2014 03:10 PM

Beautiful!

sands 02-08-2014 03:26 PM

Wow so impressed with your first picture this is marvelous, its breathtaking :thumbup: so glad you shared.

QuiltE 02-08-2014 03:30 PM

Monika .... I issued the challenge to Lots2Do ... so I'll issue the challenge to you too!


Thanks Everyone!!

Matter of fact ... I'd love to see Everyone join in this little bit of monthly fun, and make your own series of blocks.

You don't need the stand ... just find a little spot where you can hang a single finished BOM.

Pleeeeeeeeeease??



MiraB ... that means you. After all, what's one more BOM!

Tweety2911 02-08-2014 03:37 PM

Beautifully done!!

QuiltE 02-08-2014 03:41 PM

PansyPenny ... sorry, forgot to answer you earlier ... yes, both are paper pieced.

Quilter65 ... That's exactly the way I think ... don't mind the snow so much, but the extreme cccccccold can disappear any time!

TnBecky 02-08-2014 03:50 PM

Great idea, you don't have to buy a kit, make what you want from your own stash! Love the snowflakes, I wish I had that kind rather than what is falling again today!

I'm with you on that ... non-kit buying!
I don't like to have the same as everyone else, so that just does not happen.
Of course, when they were selling the stands, they had kits ready too ... oh nooooo! :D:D:D
