Since Mr. Brown Quilts was out of town last week, and I had way too much time to think...I had to keep my hands busy, therefore keeping my mind busy. I was thrilled that the final block of the Designer BOM arrived and since I had the setting all ready to go...I spent a day finishing it up. I just love it. I had to wait until Mr. Brown Quilts aka Mr. Quilt Holder was here to hold it up for me.
It's really too big for one person to hold and we had a pretty good breeze blowing.
I think you can see most of it.The Jelly Roll Quilt Along block was really fun this time
...thank you Nannette!I was a very lucky girl last month and won a drawing in the Year of Schnibbles...I won the $50 gift certificate from The Fat Quarter Shop...here's what I got. A Bar Harbor layer cake and some background
...I'm going to use this in Plan C from the Schnibbles Times Two book...I'm putting this with some pieces that I have left of Prairie Paisley, so a little old and a little new...YIPPEE! Thank you again Vicky for helping me pick just the right background.This will be a better week...Mom and I are heading to Birmingham on Friday to visit Hampton and Camden (Josh and Katie too...LOL) I can't wait!
The BOM looks great!

ReplyDeleteI hope you have a better week, good luck with that new project!
So glad you finished the Designer Mystery BOM, way to go Carol! I just read your last post, I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbour. What a shock! Glad to see that keeping your hands busy helped you out this week.

Stunning quilt... You have a way with the needle in thread. My heart is still with your neighbor. As much as you do now--- she'll probably needs you tons more later...you know... when everyone else's life goes back to normal and yet she'll have such loss. Hang in there.....You're a good friend.
ReplyDeleteI like the fabric used on the border of your new quilt.
ReplyDeleteI know you are looking forward to visiting your grand-children. And maybe their parents too. The birthday girl is a year old now, huh! Have loads of fun playing with the kids.

ReplyDeleteCatching up on some news. I was sad to read you last post. Sending you a cyber hug (((Carol))). Life is indeed short, which makes me think about how crazy busy I have been. But, I'm making decisions that are good for me. Love all the projects you are working on. My goodness you are a busy bee! Hugs!
