Another "Quilt Doodle Design's" Block of the Month....

-
I'm so excited!!  Another Quilt Doodle Design's block of the month!!.  Out of all 9 BOM's last year (and it was and still is hard to do when you work full time), this designer was the one I kept up with at all times.  It was one that was nice to do, exciting to wait for, and basically, fun as all heck!!

Last year's design is here in the finish - just in time for Christmas with my mom...

It was "happy" and "cuddly" all in one.

This year's is a great start.  See below:



White for the background, but there are stashing on all sides.  See the diagram below.


Join now, it's fun.

      Funny thing about it Mari is that the fabric collection is from the Star Trek series, it's suppose to look like stars but to me it looked like snow.

    Very pretty-- I love the darker background and the way you did the little "X" stitches around the light "metal" parts (what is that called?)!!

      Thanks Sheri for the compliment. I call it Snow. It was just in time for Christmas when my mother got here from Manitoba, the place with the most snow ;)

    That dark background looks terrific. Fabulous. And that little snowman from this year's BOM is so loveable.

 I’ve been cleaning my sewing office and I have been noticing how any UFOs I have but that’s ok because I’m retiring soon and all of the projects will keep me busy.  The kits are all together except for batting and backing.  So it’s a win win.  But I’m getting an overflow, too much stuff around to the point  that it's overwhelming me.  Like everyone else in the quilting world I can’t resist a new BOM or a bargain so I keep on starting new ones but I’m resisting ladies (hello my name is Nicole and I’m a fabricaholic.).  This past month I’ve been finishing off a lot of quilts (see last couple of blogs) but today I’m showing you one I did this month and another BOM from this year so it doesn’t become a ufo.  Here she be…. End of bed quilt. This pattern is free at Riley Blake Design, on this link.     The squares are 10 and a half in size.  Their pattern did not include the blue line I put in, a 1 1/2 inch fold.  Stitched between the blocks, a 2” piece and the side borders.  It made th

 And I’ve been able to get some painting and sewing in.  I have completed some baby quilts, made some gifts and cleaned my room after my bookcase collapsed.  Yeah you heard right, my IKEA bookcase (with drawers) stretched out and the shelves came tumbling down.  Too many sewing/painting/quilting books and paints in it.  Out with that old and in with a used steamer trunk that I redid.  Final product are the 1st couple of pictures.  Even used wood glue for cracks. Redid with restick wall paper that is waterproof.   All my supplies The crack that I wood glued. The start that took about 2hours. The finish product that has projects in containers, and fabric for sewing clothes.  It worked well. Then I had some things that are just in a tray that I needed to fix.  So I completed these projects that were small and almost done. The container  Pillow case embroidery  Mug rug, hand stitched.  Tea dyed. Look at the stitching or rather quilting. A dress that needed a hem and to fix neckline A very

 With a few UFOs done.  They are Cat Approved. Both of these have gone to the hospital's children's ward. Yes they are identical.  The material was given to me two years ago, with the blocks already done. I just finished it off and binded it. This one is a Joanne's Kit from 5 years ago, before Covid.  The kit contained all the material and the pattern, but some of the material had been changed and that's why the discount.  The kit was $20.  For all the top material.  What a steal!!! Simple quilting in the ditch and some echoing. My husband loves the colors.  Perfect for a guy.  I was going to give this away but the hubby said no, it's perfect for our house, so it's staying. I also did one more quilt for a friend that I gave away last week so now I can put it up here.  It's part of the American Quilt UFO challenge.  I found some of the trees premade and in a box while trying to clean my quilting room. Made a couple more, and started the art drawing. A good si
