Flashback Tuesday: Pioneer Sampler 2009 BOM Project Original from BOMquilts.com

Posted on February 17, 2015 by TK HarrisonFebruary 15, 2015

This quilt was a blast to make, especially with the fabric I chose for the quilt. The fabric was sponsored by AbbiMays.com and I just had pure FUN making this baby quilt!

I also cut out all of the fabric for the blocks, along with the monthly patterns and presented them to everyone who wanted one in the small quilt group I attended. At the end of the first year…and even the second and third year, I saw so many different variations made of the ladies who put that quilt together. Some added wider sashing and borders to create a lap quilt. Some didn’t add sashing at all (like in my quilt image below) but made up for the loss by adding bigger border pieces. We had a small quilt fest at the community library and showed off our quilts and it was amazing how many different quilts were made from the exact same set of blocks that I used. I was tickled pink!

Flashback Tuesday: Calendar Quilt from BOMquilts.com

Posted on January 13, 2015 by TK HarrisonJanuary 12, 2015

What a fun and challenging quilt for my 2007 block of the month quilt design from BOMquilts.com was! The design itself was a challenge because there were a lot of squares in the quilt. It was also a challenge because we were living in our camper (two adults, four kids, two dogs). All of my quilting supplies were stored under our bed so I’d get everything I needed out before my husband laid down. Then I would set up my sewing, cutting and ironing stations from the dining area to the living area. To say it was cramped quarters is putting it mildly! But, I did it – and it is still beautiful! Go ahead, have some fun with this Calendar Quilt from BOMquilts.com!

A Box for Me, A Box for Me – Whatever Could it Be?

Posted on November 26, 2014 by TK HarrisonNovember 24, 2014

I saw the FedEx truck pull up to my MIL’s last week, but since I knew I hadn’t ordered anything, I just figured it was for her. On Saturday morning, my husband showed me a box that was addressed to me…but, I had no clue who it was from:

I suppose I virtually know folks in Illinois, but that town didn’t stand out in my mind as anyone that I knew – and I had no clue who Diamond Marketing Solutions was nor who had their own shipping department!

My husband cut the tape on the box for me, and this is what I saw:

Whoa! That’s a lot of paper packing – but still, it did not reveal a single clue as to who sent the box and what was in it. I pulled out the paper to find this:

Okay, now I had a hint as to what was in the box but I hadn’t ordered any Aurifil thread (I usually purchase mine a quilt shop that carries it)! My husband then cut the tape on this envelope and out pops some beautiful variegated thread and white thread, 40 wt. for my longarm:

The next thing to slide out of the box was this:

Ah yes, I have quite a collection of these beautiful boxes! When I opened that beautiful blue and white box – more thread popped out!

And now the light bulb (or spool) finally comes into focus. These threads are for Aurifil co-sponsoring my 2015 block of the month quilt at BOMquilts.com! Look how gorgeous the threads are with the fabric!
