BOM Rehab- Were You There?

Fall is in the air! 

I have been waiting for this since about mid-summer!

I hope you are enjoying a nice change in the season also.

I got a few things checked off my list over the weekend.

                                        

I remembered a Mystery BOM from Quilt Soup that I had signed up for.

I do love Quilt Soup fabrics and patterns.

This block of the month is mostly all applique but

the pieces are large and simple. It's a perfect time to start on this project.

There is another applique project that I am 

about to start up and since I am 

a total beginner at applique I think that the one project should help be 

fine tune a little bit and make the other project,

 Evening Blooms by Blackbird Designs,

a little bit easier for me.

Here is my start on my Mystery BOM.

I have been needing to get my project samples ready 

for the retreat I host. It will be the weekend of the 19th this year.

The first project is a spider web quilt.

I like the way it turned out. I didn't want it to be very scrappy but

I think if I make one again I would like make one scrappy... but maybe 

just use all polka dot fabrics. I seem to need some control on these!

I wanted to see how it would work with just using a jelly roll.

And here is how it turned out.

My other project is a Cathedral Windows pillow.

It is suppose to take a 14" pillow form but I had to squeeze 

the form in it.

I am going to make up a second pillow and change the last step a little...

but at least I have this one to start with.  

Oh, and

I have to share this with you...

I had been in my local grocery store and they had this as a display piece.

It had "spray" butter in it and was displayed next to the corn in the produce area.

I asked them what they were going to do with it at the end of the season...

one thing lead to another and I got a phone call a couple of weeks latter to

come and pick it up. I think it's really cute. I love the wire frame and the apple basket...

it even has wheels. I might remove the wood sign...  I think it's cute. 

Not that I needed one more thing for my sewing room... 

but as you can see, it is already serving a purpose.

What did you do over the weekend? Were you in BOM Rehab?
