Homework done for the night...Pageturner questions printed...gift cards bought...All for a busy day tomorrow, Monday. It is our annual School Book Club Competition where the top 6 lucky kids get to spend all day Saturday with me and about a bigillion other kids who like to read. Our school also made tomorrow night Reading Night. So after school I have the competition...will probably last until 5pm and then Reading Night...need to check when that starts. I think 6:30pm. It will be exhausting but fun. I have the Gwinnett Public Library coming to sign up kids for my part in the media center and one of our parents is an author who will also be presenting in there. Lots of planning went into this by our reading team! I don't think I will be quilting tomorrow ;o(
Oh ...need to print those certificates..bye. k

BOM

Well I have been organizing today and noticed (or admit to) another BOM. This one is from a Homestead Hearth...yes again! It is the Carrie Hall Sampler by Barbara Brackman.
The first block is the top left.
It is gorgeous!
BOM's are great because they only cost a little each month!

I do believe it will be hand done like the Jan Patek 2007 mystery quilt I have been working on, Spenser Museum Quilt. I will do the applique by hand and the piecing by machine. I have finished January thru October and almost done with November. It has been a great quilt to work on and I love the colors. This was started as a block a month and now is available from Jan's site as a pattern. I also (golly, don't know if I really should admit this) have the 2008 Jan Patek Mystery quilt BOM. It is again large blocks, but I am trying a new machine applique technique that my friend Pat W. showed me....who learned it from Kim Diehl. Now that is enough of my addiction confessions....oh and I have only just started ;o) k

Block of the Months

I truly think I have a problem...I am addicted to block of the months. So does that mean I have to go to a self-help group? Okay...I guess I could have worse problems...wait a minute, I do! Haha.

Anyway, today I went to our newly organized sew ins. We are now "Thimbles". I always have a great time and actually get to sew! I also like seeing everyone's finished projects or wip (work-in-progress). In one of our discussions, bad Gretchen, bad Becky AND bad Brenda, told me about another BOM. AHHHHHH. Of course I have already looked at it...it is gorgeous and free!!! So how can I resist? I love this designer's patterns.
