2017 BOM Wrap-up

The 2017 Fair Isles Winter BOM has been so fun to design and make.  I love doing the paper pieced blocks using the yummy blue and white batiks.  The last block is nearly ready and will be posted on December 1.  Be sure to get your free November block while it is still available.

Free November Block


There are two more installments for the Fair Isles BOM.  They include the inner and outer borders.  The borders use some of the bonus applique blocks.  Of course, if you are using the setting provided, you can use any block from 12 pieced blocks for the borders if you don't do applique.  However, the block size will be different to you may want to get the border patterns so you can resize your blocks for the borders.

Here is the December block which will be coming soon.



BUT WAIT --- while 2017 is winding down, I am hard at work on 2018 Free BOM!!! 

I would love to hear from you. . . do you want another pieced BOM or are you ready for some applique?  Floral or geometric?  Modern or traditional?  Batik, prints, blenders, or solids?  Scrappy or planned?  Stash buster or new fabric lines?  Easy, medium, advanced?



Leave a comment with your suggestions.  I will pick one comment at random to receive a free Holiday themed fabric charm pack!  I also just got a stack of Mickey Mouse fabric charm packs.  I will choose another random comment to get a pack of Mickey charms.  They are adorable.

Thanks for hanging out with me again this year.  You are the best!

  1. I would love Mickey if I am so lucky. Both of these blocks are lovely. Lets see how about some scrappy applique that isn't too difficult to do. Perhaps in a Easter or valentine theme for 2018. Hugs, LJ

  5. I would love a scrappy vine-y applique in soft autumn colors. That is my go to type in my perfect world. Of course, anything you design will be just lovely. I've really loved the 2017 BOM and hope to get it done after I retire next year. Thanks for your generosity.

  15. I love your designs. Thank you for all you do.I love applique and hand piecing. Batiks are my very favorite. But will love anything you do.

  16. I am a fan of applique and only suffer through pieced when I have to. One of the reasons is that I like to use up my stash (to make room for more stash of course). A combination of difficulty levels would be nice. Sometimes it is the only way we learn how to work outside of our comfort zone. Perhaps start with easy and gradually sneak in harder elements periodically, etc.
