Sunday, I had about an hour to myself, so I pulled out my 2013 Lucky Stars BOM box. I've completed about 7 of the blocks but have several more to go. This is the July 2013 block and I think it looks fab-u-lous! One of the things I love about many of the stars from Don't Call Me Betsy's BOM is that I can imagine a whole quilt made from just one month's design (vs. a sampler look). Elizabeth is doing a 2014 Lucky Star BOM too and the designs are lovely.
Also over the weekend, I attended a guild meeting up in the mountains. I picked up several of the BOM's for charity quilts, so I will do those soon, and I attended an applique class taught by Tonee White. She is our local quilting celebrity. If you have ever heard of "Appliquilt
", then you know her work. I actually did alright with the needleturn heart we worked on. I had a few spots that weren't as curvy as they should have been, but as with most things, my skills would improve if only I practiced more.What blocks have you been working on? I would love to see. Link up your fabulous blocks. You put a lot of hard work into them - show them off! This free linky will stay open until the first Monday of next month, but I will repost it every Tuesday until a new month starts.
Rules:
1) Please link up only to the page in your blog showing your wonderful blocks, not just the blog homepage. Flickr pictures are also OK.
2) Make sure to put your blog name as the description so people know where they are going or the name of your block!
3) Please grab my button and post it in your blog post or sidebar.
4) Visit other linky participants!
Thanks for reading!

Lovely star. School holidays are in full swing here too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend ! We don't go back to school until Tuesday! Yippee! The star is fab
ReplyDeleteThis star is great, I love the colors and arrangement. Yep, I could imagine a whole quilt of this easily. Sorry your kiddos have been sick, that is always so difficult because it impacts everything.
