Hmmmm, let's see a Bribe??? Chicky really likes the Andy Williams Restaurant in Branson, maybe a gift card to there would work??? LOL
I'm rethinking my chain block, I had a great idea, but now I'm not so sure. Now what is going to be super hard for me is keeping this a secret from Sister Sue. (I know she is going to play). I'm a lousy secret keeper. She also comes to sew with me quite often. Let's see what I can do about this. Pat.

JLou, you won't be sorry, this is a lot of fun.Welcome aboard. Pat

I am working on putting the sashing on the 2012 BOM and backing. Hope to have this done by Dec. 31. Then I will be ready for the 2013 BOM. Count me in. Don't know what chain I will be doing, but I know it will turn out great. Sue

CQW she is adorable! Congratulations! If my grands lived close by I wouldn't be sewing much either.

A bribe? a bribe?? Patty! don't you go and give Jill any ideas! We are both working on our blocks~ at least I hope we both are. LOL

I changed my chain block once already. I think I am set. Now back to the machine!

So...are you saying 'no'

LOL!!! I was thinking about something chocolatey!!! But, I'll just hang on to it.

I forget that others are still working on 2012. I'd probably be the same way...want to get one done before you've got another staring you in the face!

How is it that they say it...waiting makes it better?!

LOL I finished my 2012 BOm (quilting and binding) but the 2011 BOM still has to be quilted! It's in the UFO pile

Well, I still haven't decided on this one yet. I did write down the fabric estimates in case I find a good deal on something I really like. I don't have that much of anything in my stash so will need to purchase fabric. I really want to work on stuff I already have, so there lies the dilemma.

LOOK YOU CRAZY CHICK! If they feel the need to BRIBE me ... let me say they have good taste! And bring on the bribes...

Jill, you stick the bribe in the mail, and then I will mail back the info you want I don't know about getting the info early, but it sure will make me smile

And yes ... WE are working on our blocks! Me and my new friend Jenny are dancing up a storm

LOL

Moi??

DH asked if I wanted to go to Home Depot with him yesterday...ok, sure. Look what I found! I thought this was perfect for this BOM.

The tray fits on top and then there's a lid too. The tray will hold my blocks...when I get some!

oooh! i love that bin!! i may have to run over to HD and see if mine carries them!
i am still wavering, but i pulled all my fabrics out yesterday to clean and organize, and i can't get them all back in!!! guess i'll go through and see if i have anything that will work you know how that goes... a ton of fabric, but nothing that works well together

WQFC, I really like your HD find. Sue and I bought a scrap booking plastic tote a year or 2 ago and with the handle it is so easy to keep all the fabric blocks and patterns in one spot. Along with my designated background fabric. Now I need to figure out what I'm going to do for this year. One thing I am going to make sure is that there is a definite right and wrong side of my background fabric. I bought one in 2011 and 2012 that was very hard to tell I had to get the light just right to see what side was the right side. By the end of this year I was so frustrated just trying to get it right.

I had an ArtBin that I used to use to bring things back and forth to our Hunting lease. DH broke it. I also bought a smaller version of that too! And, I decided that I wanted kitchen cabinet hardware, so we bought some of that too!

I'm not sure he will invite me to go to Home Depot with him again!

Patty - I bet that was frustrating with that fabric. The one consolation with that is, if it's that hard for you to tell, maybe it wouldn't be that noticeable in the quilt?!!

Sure wish I had a block to put in my new tray...hint, hint! LOL!

Sorry, I'm awful!

Very cool - I decided not to do the 2013 BOM Reality check: Given my less than successful work on the 2012 BOM the odds are good the 2013 one wouldn't get much further. Not much else has changed in other areas - ah well, maybe 2014

WQFC, you're making me laugh! You're really ready to go on this BOM and will be happy dancing when the first one is posted!
Like the bin... a trip to HD might have to be made!

LOL! Soon. Very soon.

Two Days!!!

LOL WQFC!!!

Hmmm Let me get this right-- We aren't showing our block each month? Can we make more then 12? I need to make my bed (ok hubby and my bed) a quilt and it's a queen.

Here's a peeky ~

2013 BOM fabric is washed!!!

That's kinda mean. Have you ever heard of Karma?!!

Here is my fabric, ready to cut Tomorrow I am doing the Planet Patchwork mystery, so probably won't do it tomorrow. Did start cutting for my chain blocks though, but that's a secret which block I chose

When you see my block, you'll see I wasn't being mean ... I told you a sneak peek ... not a FULL peek! Besides, it's not being mean... just a little ornery

Chicky, you hung out with tooooo many retreaters and picked up to many bad habbits. That sneak peak was Not nice. Can't wait until tomorrow. Pat

ROFL!!

Should I stay up until midnight? Or, do we wait until daylight?!!

Tick... Tick... Tick...

I'll be back!!

Ok I have 2012 top done, Bring on 2013.
You BOM Chicks did an awesome job keeping us inspired and interested all year. Thanks so much for taking the time and talents to give us a great experience. Pat

Hi Patty J!! I miss you and Sister Sue! I've been a good girl too!

OK...I think I might have figured that clue out! Now I REALLY want to see what the block is!

I have my blocks for 2012 all layed out now I will number them so after tomorrow I can sew them all together. Can't do any sewing tonight as my DH is doing some work in my "woman cave" Putting in a trac light over my sewing machines also another plugin. My Christmas present from him.

Nice present!!

Handie - you are being so patient! I bet you can't wait to sew them together. Nice that you are getting some extra lighting in your cave!

Jen - keep forgetting to tell you how pretty your fabrics are. Can't wait to see how they work up!

Shauna Santa has been long gone ya can quit with the good girl bull now !!!!!!!

LOL!! Jacky you know way to well!!

An angel?!! Really?!! LOL!

I am going to try to keep up with this this year. I will work on my chain blocks tomorrow.
