I have a dream of making an heirloom quilt. The kind of quilt where a century from now quilters will see it hanging in some museum and wonder who is Woolie?
...and so I signed up to start a new BOM (not BOW) in October with Homestead Hearth Quilting to make the quilt pictured above. They will ship 6 blocks at a time or portions of the border each month. I have chosen the 1800's colorway and can't tell you how excited I am about this next project. Of course...one cannot attempt a project of this magnitude without doing it with some quilting friends...and so there is a merry band of 3...wild and crazy quilters. If you are tempted...come along for the ride!
What a beautiful quilt, I'm looking forward to seeing your finished project.
ReplyDeleteHow ambitious of you Anna, and what fun you and your quilting friends will have. It's going to be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteYowzeeeee that's a beautiful quilt. It will surely be an heirloom - the border alone is almost a quilt in itself. It's always fun to have projects to work on together - keeps everyone motivated. Good Luck - it will be a treasure.
ReplyDeleteI have been tempted by this for a long time. I look forward to your journey.
ReplyDeleteI Signed up last week and cannot wait to get started!
ReplyDeletelol Enjoy!! So if it's not a BOW, and is a BOM but you get 6 blocks at a time, do you get shipments of the 6 every month (or the border) or just every 6 months?
ReplyDeleteWOWEE!!! Good luck on what looks like a great journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to pass on this one, but you go, Girl!!!!!! I can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quily!!is hand or machine applique?
ReplyDeleteOh Eileen, hopefully I won’t disappoint!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah...I like being thought of as ambitious rather than crazy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! one of my friends is already reworking the border and the BOM hasn't even started!
ReplyDeleteCome on Yvette...you know you want to do it!!! We could start a BOM block posting right here on the Woolie!
ReplyDeleteDon’t I wish a package would arrive every 6 months….Corney you totally crack me up and I need a laugh after a work day like today!
