I made this block of the month sampler with some gorgeous fabrics and colors. And what was the most amazing about it was that we spent the summer of 2006 traveling the Pacific northwest in our camper, following the Lewis & Clark trail along the way…but my husband also had speaking engagements in Portland and then Sacramento. So, we loaded up our four kids and two dogs and hit the road! We’d stay in a campsite for three or more days, enjoying everything around us…and then move on down the road to the next campground to do the same. One of the places we stopped had an aquarium that we took our kids to. I took this photo below, thinking of how beautiful the colors were…and then I realized I was working with those exact same colors in this 2006-2007 BOM quilt!

Flashback Tuesday: Purely Nine 2011 BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com
What can I say about this super-simple quilt…except it is purely divine! The blocks are big so the size of your quilt is bigger. And I can tell you first-hand that my youngest daughter sleeps under her Purely Nine quilt of Love every single night.

Flashback Tuesday: Bittersweet Churning 2012 Block of the Month Quilt from BOMquilts.com
Have you ever designed and made (or just made) a quilt where you felt, down deep in your soul, who the quilt was for…before ever choosing who to gift a quilt to? This one was mine. When I started it, I had no clue who I would gift or sell it to. But once it was complete, I knew who should have it.
Ultimately, this is a quilt made of nine-patch blocks. Each block is different and yet, each is the same.

I gifted this quilt to my foster mother, when she came to winter with us in early 2013. And to say that she loved it would be an understatement. She was tickled, excited and felt beyond blessed that I gave her one of my quilted creations – from my quilted heart to hers.
It’s never too late to give a quilt of love to a special someone in your life!
Flashback Tuesday: Santorini Stars 2010 BOM Quilt designed by BOMquilts.com
This quilt is one that I had the most fun making. I *love* raw-edge applique and I designed and made the templates for my quilt using a pinking blade in my rotary cutter. The instructions allow for other types of applique but most of our local little quilt group made this quilt with their own scrappy fabrics and colors and it was SO. MUCH. FUN. to see how different everyone’s finished out (you can see one here and a few more here)! Not to mention that each block goes together very quickly, if you use raw-edge applique, because you just cut and sew using your own creativity!

I was a nanny to a baby 25-years-ago (eeeek!) and this was the quilt I gave her upon her college graduation. I had intended to give her a completely different quilt when she graduated from high school…but, it didn’t fit with her personality. THIS one spoke her name to me and she absolutely loves it!
Go on, have a little more quilt therapy fun and enjoy making this festive quilt!

Again, it’s never too early to start planning your quilting projects for the holidays! This is another 2007 six month block of the month quilt that was used as my “Christmas in July” special section on the BOMquilts.com website. This vibrant quilt was a blast to make and it goes very quickly if you can cut all of your blocks out at once. These are two examples of the blocks that go into this BOM quilt:
These types of patterns never go out of season – whether you make them with current or your stash fun fabrics or with Christmas fabrics. Pull up your sewing machine and sit a spell with this quilt design!
