Abbi May’s Fabric Shop, Warm & Natural Batting, Aurifil Threads, and ME

Quilt Therapy Posted on by

I will not complain about the Christmas decorations and detritus that is already on the shelves at the stores.  I won’t bat an eye when I see a skeleton hanging from light posts.  I will make sure to smile with anticipation at the turkey roasting pans mixed among the charcoal briquettes.   I will vow to do any of these things because I am one of those type of people now.

The prepared.  The over-prepared.  The one that others may look at with disdain (until they see just what I am up to).

I have already designed not one but TWO 2016 block of the month (BOM) quilts, to be showcased on my website, BOMquilts.com.  One quilt is shabby, one is modern.  Both of them should bring hours of quilt therapy and quilting joy to everyone who follows along and makes them!  And then the opportunity to share warm, quilty hugs from the fruits of your quilted labor.

I have also found some super-fantastic sponsors for my 2016 BOM quilts – and I’m SO excited to share their products with you.  I have personally used each and every one of my sponsor’s products long before they were asked to sponsor my quilts!

Watch out quilters, I am ready to let 2016 begin!

No Words, Just Phenomenal Quilting!

I recently received my BOMquilts.com 2015 block of the month quilt back from my longarmer, Meloney.  I had to pick my jaw up from the floor more than once as the quilting detail just blew me away!  I am still in the ‘stroking’ stage, not quite ready to bind the quilt.  I just want to admire her work.  Again, there are no words…

Since February 1st falls on a Sunday (and I don’t blog on Sundays), I’ll introduce you to the “Modern Framed Classics:  Bright and Beautiful” 2015 block of the month quilt, Block #1 today.  Remember, the pattern for this block will be available on February 1, 2015 at BOMquilts.com.

This is Block #1:

I hope you join me in making this really fun block of the month quilt this year!


Presenting the BOMquilts.com 2015 Block of the Month Free Quilt Pattern: Modern Framed Classics: Bright & Beautiful!

This definitely deserves a drum roll……..the 2015 (FREE!) block of the month quilt is live at BOMquilts.com!  This quilt would not have been possible without my co-sponsors, AbbiMays.com and Aurifil threads.  I bow to you my favorite fabric pusher and my favorite thread pusher!

AbbiMays.com only has FIVE kits available for this quilt, in the fabrics that I used in my quilt.  If you rush over there and use the coupon code “tammy10” (no quotes), you will get an additional 10% off on top of the already discounted by 10% kit price!

Here is the quilt we will be working on this year:

Modern Framed Classics:  Bright & Beautiful, an original design by TK Harrison for BOMquilts.com

I hope you enjoy making it as much as I did!


Aurifil Thread Winner!

There were 38 comments on the blog post regarding the Aurifil thread giveaway.  Two of the submissions came in after the deadline had passed, so their comments are on the blog post but they did not meet the time requirements.

Here’s the random number generator image:

AurifilRandomWinner

And that number coincided with Pam S.’s comment:

AurifilWinner

Pam also subscribed to the BOMquilts.com monthly eNewsletter…but I now have to change up my rules for the next giveaway.  It seems a number of folks signed up but did not confirm their subscriptions!  It doesn’t do much good to ask folks to sign up if they don’t confirm their desire to receive the publication – totally my fault.

Anyway – congrats again to Pam as well as to all of the folks who commented on the blog post and/or subscribed to the BOMquilts.com eNewsletter.

And a great big thanks to Aurifil threads for sponsoring this giveaway!
