If you aren't familiar with the sewing jargon...BOM is for 'Block Of the Month'. These are projects that designer have where they will post a new pattern each month for a particular block on a quilt. At the end of the 9-12 months, you should have a quilt top ready to assemble & finish.
I thought if I did a little at a time on each quilt I wouldn't get too tired of it. I'm hoping this will help me get some things finished for some Christmas gifts.
This is my first attempt at trying to do redwork!
I can see where I will be doing more of this. The embroideries are going fairly quick.
These are blocks 1 & 2 of the "Love is" BOM and
blocks 3 & 4 of the "Love Is" Bom.
I have used gold and tan cotton fabrics for the backgrounds on the "Simple Thymes" BOM and wool or wool felt for the appliques. The sheep is a white minky fabric.
The "Snowbound" BOM is coming along nicely also. I'm using my three favorite colors: aqua, pink and red.
Block number 1
Block #2
Now on to the next blocks and I have a couple more that I would like to start also.
