Sorry I've been absent. Ugh I caught the creepy crud! It kept me couch-bound for half of last week! I was so bummed. No sewing. No computer time. Just sleeping and feeling puny. :-( But last week is definitely better than this week! I have places to go! A birthday to celebrate! A graduation to celebrate! Goodies to make and packages to wrap! Do I sound crazy yet? *giggle*
December marked the end of the BOM I have been doing with the HGTV quilters. This was our December block~
And this is my top all together. :-)
It is all done in my CW fabrics~ found lots of little bits that I could use up in this one. :-) I drew out the pattern in EQ7. Then every month presented the 12 inch block and the smaller ones that went around it. My friend and fellow HGTV member, Karen, helped me post when I wasn't around and kept me sane most of the year~ thanks Karen! It was a lot of fun~ and the HGTV ladies kept me on my toes too! LOL It would have gone smoother if my computer hadn't decided to die in the spring and me not having saved my files! :-o But, I think it ended up even better after having to re-draw everything a second time. :-)
I already have a plan for a new BOM next year, and it will involve planning by the HGTV ladies who join me. :-) They all showed such talent this year in changing blocks to accommodate their fabrics, fabric choices etc that I am looking forward to being wowed next year! Of course, the year is going to be a mystery as everyone is choosing one design element and keeping it secret all year. LOL Next December will be the big reveal. :-)
I hope you are finding the time to get your Christmas shopping, sewing, baking etc finished~ and staying healthy!
Until next time~
Happy stitching!

Glad to hear that you have recovered from the crud, Sandie. It is a bad time of the year for it.
Your piecing looks fabulous.
I really like how that turned out. It's got so much going on, but flows so well!
That us one beautiful quilt lady! Hope you feel better! No fun being sick during the holidays!
Your quilt is beautiful! Well done, very clever.
Gorgeous quilt! I look forward to seeing the next one too.
Oh WOW, what an amazing Sampler BOM quilt you put together! I *was* following along - made the first 4 months then got behind... I think I have Jan-July saved but then after the summer seemed to dropped off the face of the earth with my surgery and then our move into our new home.
I love how the quilt turned out! Your boarders are perfect. Love everything about this quilt and I will definitely be searching to find the months I missed so I can finish up mine this year! Love it!
Trying to get back into blogging...
Love from IN,
Bonnie
What an accomplishment! And by the way...you're not the only one with the crud! It's sure no way to spend the Christmas season is it? Take care of yourself!
Though I made none of the blocks, I saved them all on the computer. And I enjoyed seeing the progress on yours. It looks wonderfully scrappy delicious all put together.
Stunning!!!!!!
