It's not too late to start working on the 2010 Pieced BOM - Star Crazy by Sue Garman. To inspire you to create, we've created a little slideshow to see what your fellow TQS members have been working on. These photos came from the BOM Show & Tell area and there are many more for you to view. The Show & Tell area is a great place to show your progress, get comments, and ask for advice. It's also a great place to go for inspiration, as you'll soon see.

You can download the monthly patterns for free just by clicking here.

To learn more about any of the BOMs, simply click on the BOM tab on the navigation bar above.

I love Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA!  We are right downtown near the Convention Center.  Minneapolis is a fun and very clean town with interesting sites.  I love the skybridges that connect the buildings.

Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes".  They love water.  Watch for the fountains.  These pictures were taken within a 4 block area around our hotel.
