Flashback Tuesday: Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

It hasn’t been but a year since this quilt was published at BOMquilts.com but it is truly a stunning lap quilt and is worth repeating.  It goes together very quickly, even though there are nine different blocks – each block is designed based on the center block – known as the Chocolate Cake block.  And what’s more romantic than chocolate and roses?

Chocolate Cake and Roses 2013 Six-Month BOM Quilt Exclusively Designed by BOMquilts.com

I gifted this to a very special couple as they needed just a bit more chocolate and roses (and romance) in their lives.  I think many of us could use a quilt to remind us that romance needs to be an integral part of our lives – with whomever you choose as your partner!


Flashback Tuesday: Pinwheel Snowflakes for Winter Joy

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I had SO much fun making this Pinwheel Snowflakes for Winter Joy six-month block of the month (BOM) quilt out of the beautiful “Winter Joy” fabric from Clothworks in 2009.

You still have time to start and finish it for the upcoming holidays!  It really goes together quickly and will work great with the newest Christmas quilt fabric collections that have recently come on the market!  It would also work great with non-holiday fabric.  Anything goes!

What are you waiting for?!

Abbi May’s Fabric Shop and I have had a very beneficial relationship for about 10 years.  I have spoken of it often here at Quilt Therapy because the owner, Linda, and her shop deserve the recognition!  Over the last couple of weeks, my fabric fairy (aka fabric pusher) has delivered four different fabric groups for various projects I have slated to work on this year and in 2015.

Here’s some of the fabrics and the collection names that are currently available through AbbiMays.com:

Flashback Tuesday: Santorini Stars

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

This was one of my favorite block of the month (BOM) quilts to make for BOMquilts.com in 2010 – Santorini Stars:

This was a raw edge applique using pinking shears and a pinking blade on a rotary cutter.  Really fun to make and the special young lady I gifted it to absolutely loved it!

2014MysteryQuilt

This 2014 Mystery Quilt will be all straight lines, which makes it a perfect quilt to make for beginners as well as advanced quilters.  I *love* designing quilts for all types of quilters!  Plus, this is only a six-month Mystery Quilt – and if you follow along each month, you will have a completed quilt top in a mere six months!  LOVE LOVE LOVE!

The Mystery Quilt will be on the BOMquilts.com website and you will be able to purchase the quilt kit (at an always-reduced price) from AbbiMays.com!

We will start this quiltabulous mystery quilt on August 15th, which will give you time to purchase your quilt kit before we dive into the monthly instructions.

I can’t wait to get started!  How about you?
