Today one of my local quilt shops had the BOM that I signed up for this year. It was a very easy block for this month. I made it as soon as I got home today.
Look what I discovered. I was looking for some re-fills for my Sewline fabric glue pen. I could find any. I had to go to Joanns today for some terry cloth so I decided to look at the Fons and Porter notions. Guess what? Their re-fills work perfectly in the Sewline fabric pen. I know one person who left a comment saying she couldn't find refills. Well now you know that you can use either brand re-fills and they will work.
I have figured out what I want to work on as my goal this month for
A Lovely Year of Finishes. I won this ocean/fish fabric from
Sauders Fabrics in December. There wasn't a whole lot of it because they were actually fabric samples. I was able to create a preemie quilt by making disappearing nine patch blocks. I think it will make a nice quilt for a baby boy. My quilt guild makes and donates quilts for preemie babies. Each person in the guild has been asked to make four this year. This will be number two for me.
So my goal this month is to machine quilt it and get it bound.

I really love that you have a goal of four quilts for the preemies. You are very dedicated. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteHeehee. I'm going to follow along as you do your BOM, so I guess I better get started. Have fun with your baby quilts!
ReplyDeleteCute block! Nice use of the ocean fabric. I think it's perfect for a baby boy!
ReplyDeleteCute block Carrie! Good to know about the Sewline pens,I don't use them but my sewing buddy does. I'll let her know.
ReplyDeletePretty first block...I'll be watching your progress on this BOM.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric will make a cute baby boy quilt, for sure.
Nice baby quilt and nice goal, also. FYI the F&P glue does fit the Sewline, but the consistency is a little different, so I ended up using a lot more glue with the F&P and my english paper pieces were not reusable as they are with the Sewline glue. Still washed out the same, though.
ReplyDeleteI also considered that BOM, but decided I'd better finish a few things first :)
Great use of your fabric win. Lucky little babies too.
ReplyDeleteI love the little welcome sign. Obviously I am a read and run stalker. Cute BOM, and great job working on donation quilt number 2.
