This year I decided I wasn't going to do any BOMs. I'm pretty sure BOM is a disease and my immune system is a bit down right now so I decided I just better not read any blogs that have a BOM so I won't catch it. Know what I mean?
But then I accidentally saw Promises and Borders by Jenny of Elephantz. I didn't mean to, really I didn't. She does the most beautiful things and this was no exception...I was hooked. Okay, I decided, I could do one. No more than that though.
So far, so good. I know it's only the first month but the month isn't over yet and I've done them both!
If you're as susceptible as me to BOM Disease, don't go visit these two blogs. I'm pretty sure this disease is catching.
Hey, I have all the Civil War blocks cut, and in a binder, yes, a binder I made three!!! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI have told myself no BOM's....it is so fun but is hard to keep up with things....but let me tell you, you have chosen some fun ones to do.
ReplyDeleteToo late , I have already started Hannah and Harrington as well as Melodys penny rug ,not to mention the SAHRR , I think my disease is serious ;-) . Love your blocks ,have fun ,even if youndon't finish them all you can find something for these blocks . :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat work...I am not tempted if done by hand.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure it is some sort of disease too. They are so appealing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI can see why those grabbed you. Since I am an all-or-nothing type, I know doing one block a month wouldn't work. Better not to begin.
ReplyDeleteOh Marlene, I'm doing both of those BOM's! Well, let me rephrase that . . . I'm saving both of those! Hahaha! :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes...it very contagious, but loads of fun anyway!
ReplyDeleteI saw the one at The Rasberry Rabbit and I so want to do it. I did the snowmen from Bunny Tales, so I keep telling myself. I don't need it. I don't need it.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably join in anyway.
Shell's BOM is the only one for me this year. I like quilt alongs that are for a single project or just a few months - you stick with it then. I have plenty to do with out adding.
ReplyDeleteI suffer form BOM as well!! I have come to the conclusion that I prefer a quilt along that is a little faster than, oh say, a whole year!!! I don't know what I am doing next week let along in a year from now!! LOL I want it NOW!! hehe
ReplyDeleteTut,tut,tut! I'm feeling virtuous because I've stayed well away from that kind of temptation! But those are very cute. I especially like the first one.....Young people today,[I have some] need to hear this. Which would make a great excuse for succumbing, now that I think of it!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love the bunny! The colors are good.
ReplyDeleteDon't try to get cured of the BOM. So far I must have been innoculated with it because I haven't caught it yet. But I'm gonna hang around you.
Maybe you could sneeze on me?
Yep, I have this disease also and am doing all those that you named as well as a couple of others...but thanks for your diagnosis. Now I can tell myself that it's not my fault, it's the illness...I think I enjoy starts more than finishes.
ReplyDeleteThe two BOM blocks you made are even more charming in person! I love the tone-on-tone fabric you used for the Promises and Borders block, and your blanket stitching on Harrington and Hannah is perfectly done.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of BOM disease, I bought all of "Aunt Grace's Circle of Friends" last year from Pinwheel Fabrics. Haven't sewn even one block, but I have cut and carefully stored the pieces to make the first four. I didn't let one huge UFO stop me, so I signed up for this year's "The General's Wives," also from Pinwheel. I haven't sewn any of the first four blocks I've purchased so far! :-/
I recently reorganized my sewing room, so I have no excuse for not getting my projects completed. At one point, when I was gathering together the fabrics for each UFO, I couldn't find some of the Aunt Grace fabrics. I later remembered that they were still in our "tornado closet," where I'd safely nestled them in the corner last spring when tornadoes roared through several times each week. I didn't want my fabric to blow away!
Now you've made me fall in love with these BOMs. I need to put my nose to the grindstone and keep it there!
Ahh, your problem is YOU WEREN'T INNOCULATED! You have to have that done BEFORE you go blog-hopping. I'm protected, so you can safely visit my blog and not be exposed to anything that crops up in 2012. Promise.
ReplyDeleteI have the same disease. I am getting ready to cut pieces for the rabbit block. yours turned out really cute.
ReplyDeleteCute post and how fun is your disease!!! Not to mention beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGod bless ya sweetie and have a great weekend!!! :o)
Sounds awful! I haven't a clue what BOM disease is.
ReplyDeletepeace~elaine
PS: I have some anti-estrogen drugs. Would they help cure you?
Too funny!! I think BOM is the only type of disease I can ever say I would truly want! hee,hee,hee.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a fun year!
Hugs!
I feel a bit silly because I don't know what BOM stands for, but I do like the projects anyway! lol
ReplyDeleteI caught the BOM disease this year, too. What was I thinking?
