I thought it might be fun to see what everyone has done with their blocks – whether they have been put together into a big wallhanging or used as single little projects. So I’ve added a linky party to the end of this post for you to share your projects. It’ll be open til the end of the year so plenty of time to share! Thanks everyone who was a part of the BoM this year!
So… what next? I am wondering about a BoM for next year. I thought I’d post here and gauge interest. We’ve had a sewing theme one in 2013 (And Sew On) and the retro kitchen themed Sew Kitschy this year. But I can’t decide on a theme. So feel free to throw suggestions my way. I can’t guarantee at this stage whether a BoM will be definite for next year – it depends on time and inspiration, but it’s definitely on my “maybe” list! So drop me a line and let me know your thoughts!
In the meantime don’t forget to link up your finished Sew Kitschy projects!
Happy sewing friends!
No finished project for me yet -- I am going to make a big wall hanging with the Sew Kitschy and Sew Retro bundles! I think a garden theme would be really fun :)
ReplyDeleteI was going to mention a gardening theme as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteI had SEW much fun with these.... I drool over your animal ones you made, so I'd vote anything critter related like that- maybe zoo animals, or flowers like someone said here, or girly like baby girly and baby boyish- so most blocks would just swap out the colors, but a few would be different, like boy and girl clothing.....didn't you also start a Betty sewing BOM? or is that just in a magazine?
ReplyDeletehow about a modified/modern sunbonnet sue? or houses thru the months....hmmm lots of ideas. PLEASE do something :)
Sewing Betty is just in Make Modern :) No plans yet to bring her out for a BoM
DeleteHi Kristy! Thank you for the bom! It was fantastic, even I didn't have time to finish my Project. First I thought to join the gang with 'garden' theme, but cloths would be Super fun. Any kind cloths, big and small, shoes, socks, blouse, pants, jumper, jacket, bag ... that would make cool wall quilt to every sewist! x Teje
ReplyDeleteHi: Thanks for this BOM. I need to finish the last two and then decide what to do. I like the idea of clothes BOM or baby stuff, but whatever you choose would be lovely. Thank to you, I lose the fear of paper piecing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your success...... What about Frozen for the inspiration for a PP Bom. I can say I have completed a few blocks, I wish I had done more, but Illness has kept me from completing anything, but it is a goal for Dec. Thank you many times over for being so sharing, I loved this Bom and theme. We could also a Art Quilt.. theme..
ReplyDeleteAnimals are always fun (elephants being my personal favorite) so that would be my vote. Maybe a zoo theme or a baby animal theme. A bug BOM would be fun too. Another idea ... a calendar BOM. (I'm envisioning a calendar with swappable pieces but that might be too involved.) I hope you feel inspired as I enjoy your BOMs a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI would enjoy a garden theme. There are many garden tools, gloves, watering can, and hoses just to name a few.
ReplyDeleteHave had so much fun on Sew Kitschy BOM. Still working on it, as work got busy.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely in for next year, if you are thinking of one.
Could I suggest a floral or garden theme, maybe? Or pets/animals would be my third choice.
What about a farm theme? Or a family road trip theme? Or "a cabin in the mountains/woods" theme?
ReplyDeleteHow about an Americana theme, red, white and blue!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your wonderful BOM's. I've really enjoyed working on them. Like many others, I like the idea of flowers/gardening or animals. The baby theme is also a good one. Another idea is something like fruits and veggies. Whatever you decide to do, I'll be happy to play along!
ReplyDeleteSports. Betty would look super in a tennis outfit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the BOM, I've downloaded some, but just not yet got around to them! How about vehicles, or nautical?
ReplyDeleteI like a travel themed--cruise ship, airplane, bicycle :)
ReplyDeleteOr Old MacDonald with animals and a barn? And a tractor.
Farmer Betty!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had time to finish it up yet so I love the linky is staying open for a extended period!!! Thank you! All the suggestions are great add lighthouses and just seasonal holidays to the list of ideas whatever you choose is sure to fabulous but certainly understand if you bow out this next year with the magazine keeping you busy. How do you do it all???
ReplyDeleteHow about a western theme? Or Asian theme? Or maybe a vacation theme? Ooohh or how about a flower or bird theme?
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the garden theme come to life. Seems like others would too.
ReplyDeleteI am working on my last two blocks this week. I have had a lot of fun making them. Thanks for sharing.
