Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I have been shirking my duties by not sharing when I have put new quilt block instructions up at BOMquilts.com for my 2014 block of the month quilt, “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not.”  Forgive me.  This summer has been crazy, between my numerous medical appointments, my husband’s schedule and our four kid’s work and/or camp schedules.  CRAZY!

Without boring you with all of the nitty gritty details of our never-boring life, here is the August “He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not” quilt block:

I definitely have the advantage of completing a block of the month quilt, since I have designed them.  Sometimes, I follow along with making the blocks each month…just as my BOMquilts.com viewers do.  But some of the time, I am way ahead of the curve and finish one of my BOM’s ahead of time…as I did for this year’s 2014 “He Loves Me, He Loves me Not” BOM.

This quilt was sponsored by AbbiMays.com and Aurifil threads.

Part of my reasoning for finishing this quilt ahead of time was because the fabrics just drew me in – they were SO much fun to work with!  The other part of my reasoning for finishing this quilt is that I am donating it to our school’s one-act play (OAP) program.  Both my older daughter and our middle daughter have been involved in this great program and it deserves more recognition.  But, also, because of school budget cuts, the OAP company has had to forgo some very important festivals or workshops because there just wasn’t enough funding for it.  (And don’t even get me started on how the funding for the sport’s programs are no problem but funding for one of the few fine arts offered at the school is not.)

Anyway, praying the OAP company will be allowed to raffle this quilt off early in the 2014-2015 school year so they can participate in the vital festivals and workshops that provide much needed critiques to help make their OAP performances perfected before they reach the competition phase of their program.  And I am happy to be able to help in whatever way I can!

2014 Block of the Month for BOMquilts.com

I have been working on my 2014 block of the month quilt throughout the week and this weekend.  The EQ7 image of it is awful.  It does not show the true fabric colors of the quilt so I felt compelled to put the quilt together so my BOMquilts.com viewing audience has a much truer photograph of the quilt.

All 12 blocks completed

Sashing and borders are fussy-cut and the binding is trimmed to size

I plan on finishing the final border of the quilt tomorrow so I can get the quilt listed at BOMquilts.com.  Fun quilt, very simple for beginning quilters and a great quilt to make for more advanced quilters who want to hone their skills.

Get ready, it’s almost time to launch the introductory instructions and list the fabric and thread requirements!  And the sponsors for this 2014 block of the month quilt are AbbiMays.com (fabric) and Aurifil (thread).

Once I completed my 2013 BOMquilts.com’s “Pendleton Inspired” quilt, I was itching to get started on my 2014 “He Loves Me, He Loves me Not” block of the month quilt for BOMquilts.com!

As a recap, the fabric we decided on is “He Still Loves Me” designed by Jackie Robinson for Benartex and AbbiMays.com once again is the co-sponsor of this block of the month quilt.  These are the fabrics:

Last week, I finally received the thread for this block of the month quilt, flown in and dropped off on the porch straight from Italy (kind of) as the 2014 block of the month quilt is co-sponsored by Aurifil threads.  These are the threads to be used in this quilt:

Over the weekend, I just could NOT stand it anymore and had to put one of the blocks for the block of the month quilt together.  Call me silly but that once that first block is completed, there is a big collective sigh that the pattern I wrote and the needle position on my sewing machine are in perfect harmony.  Here is the first block for the “He Loves Me, He Loves me Not” 2014 block of the month quilt at BOMquilts.com:

Block1

Although this is the easiest block to make for this quilt, I’m loving the colors and the combinations of fabrics for the subsequent blocks.  And then I smile…stroke the block a bit…share the photo a few more times…and then get busy with the other 11 quilt blocks!
