Blooming Blossoms – Box 10 & 11

So I’ve finally reached the final box of my Blooming Blossoms BOM! I feel excited to be close to the finish line, but also a little sad that this part of the quilt is coming to an end. I have enjoyed having the fabrics picked for me and just having the freedom to cut and…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms – Box 10 & 11

Blooming Blossoms Box 9

Ever so slowly I’m getting to the finish line! Box 9 only consisted of 2 and a half blossoms and yet it took me a crazy length of time to finish them. I guess with all the excitement of Christmas they did get side tracked a little. I am fresh with a renewed mission in…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms Box 9

Blooming Blossom Box 8

Bit by tiny bit I am catching up with these, although I do have 3 boxes untouched now, and not even counting how many more joining blocks I need to do (clue, it’s a lot!!) Without wanting to repeat myself every time I post one of these, I will keep this short. I will say…… Continue reading Blooming Blossom Box 8

Blooming Blossoms Box 7

I have been so preoccupied this week that I totally forgot to share my completed Blooming Blossoms box for month 7.

I know I…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms Box 7

Blooming Blossoms Box 3

Another month and it hasn’t disappointed, once again the fabrics that have been picked are so beautiful! In my haste to get started  I did actually make a mistake, forgetting the mantra measure twice cut once! I cut what was supposed to be diamonds into jewels instead. I was cutting out the fabrics at 6am…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms Box 3

Blooming Blossoms BOM (block of the month)

This year I’ve signed up to 2 Block of the Month (BOM) English Paper Piecing clubs. In this post I’m going to talk about the one from Sew and Quilt. I first remember Jessie starting the club a couple of years ago and I ummed and arghed about it. Deciding in the end against it.…… Continue reading Blooming Blossoms BOM (block of the month)
