You must be so excited about it!<br />Love your vintage fabric, I second you - at heart I am a vintage girl too, 1800s or early to mid 1900s.<br />Congratulations on your BOM! I have eyed this one off a number of times, it is so lovely. Where are you doing it through? I have seen ti advertised with a few places and they all look different due to the fabric choices.<br />Looking forward to seeing your blocks as you work through it.Bechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946899924830065258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-91559900372304677642009-09-01T02:23:23.875+10:002009-09-01T02:23:23.875+10:00Love your little quilt and that new BOM is definat...Love your little quilt and that new BOM is definately you!!<br /><br />Sorry for the delay in commenting, I got interrupted and stuck the post in my favs and just found it LOL.<br /><br />CrispyCrispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784813169069471560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-516213223751539092009-09-01T00:26:03.225+10:002009-09-01T00:26:03.225+10:00I don't know if I could use placemats that pre...I don't know if I could use placemats that pretty!

I checked out the BOM -it is definitely you-I am sure that you will enjoy stitching it. <br />I am working on a free BOM from Fat Cat Designs called Baltimore Bliss. My friends and I started it in Aug instead of January and are enjoying it even tho there are so many pieces per block. It is applique and we are all doing it by hand. <br />I am also doing another BOM (scherenschnitte style)hat I found years ago on the web. It was a German site and luckily I copied all the patterns because the link no longer exists. Its very challenging. I am doing this by hand as well. These are the projects on the forefront of my WIPs at this moment.<br />srocca2004@hotmail.comroccagalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-46992218793266815002009-08-31T11:13:46.212+10:002009-08-31T11:13:46.212+10:00Hello Jenny

A stitchery you can bring wherever you go and get it ready sometimes too fast. So this year I began with 2 copies "X-mas wish". And Shabby Roses is almost the first with pure white fabric and it looks fantastic. Already wait for yor next block. Please hurry on and show it so I can go on.

I´m working on a country calendar, ouat, Gail Pans Christmas wish, a flower in my heart, and of course your shabby roses.<br />I like the way you finished your quilt, the turquoise on the back looks very bright.

I've never used a single range before either, as it always seems so expensive, but your quilt certainly looks good. I'm currently doing Natalie Lymer's (Cinderberry Stitches) Tail Feathers as a BOM and enjoying making it, though I don't know whether I'll keep it when it's finished.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-76559943784725480472009-08-30T15:25:48.997+10:002009-08-30T15:25:48.997+10:00Your placemats are gorgeous.

I love the simplicity of your design, too, with just the narrow border and trim. :-)<br /><br />The BOM you have chosen is gorgeous. I haven't started on any yet, but there are a couple that I adore. One is of sea creatures,in greens, blues and batik fabrics. The other is a BOM of teacups, coffecups etc and is a brown and cream colourway. Sorry I can't find the ads right now to give you their names. They've been in all the craft mags for a while though!<br /><br />Hugs!

I started a BOM years ago, but hubby got laid off and I couldn't finish. They're still in my sewing room somewhere. It was going to be a quilt for Sam - a monster quilt - he was quite young.<br /><br />Not going to have time for a machine cover - off tomorrow again and Monday.
