BLOCK OF THE MONTH - BOM
BOM 2010 - Hugs and Kisses
Digitizing Hugs & Kisses for in-the-hoop
In 2010, TQS will treat you to not one, but two Sue Garman Block-of-the-Month quilts! Both quilts--one applique and one pieced--are bright and cheery, sure to be showstoppers on a bed or wall. Once again, Sue will offer lots of instruction and tips along with the patterns. Be ready: This is "the year of quilting" as Sue helps you enliven your quilts with many quilting options.

Don't miss out on the fun and learning available to you through the TQS BOM quilting community. Click here for the fabric requirements so you can be ready when we launch both patterns on January 1, 2010. (Word to the wise: We sold out our 2009 BOM quilts quickly, so be sure to get your 2010 kit(s) early by visiting the TQS Shoppe.) We are very excited to offer you this opportunity and look forward to you seeing your work as the year progresses.

Hi Libby. Your quilt is beautiful.
I have been thinking of you, missing you on the forum. Glad to hear you are safe.
When I make a quilt sandwich with such a big quilt, I use Sharon Schamber's method with boards.

It works very well. You really have control over it but I guess it works only if you have a wide table to work on.

Beautiful quilt, Libbi!

I'm quilting another top now, but hope to get to Hugs and Kisses and StarCrazy next.

Long time, no post. Where did 2012 go? I had such hopes to finish Hugs & Kisses in 2012 after completing the quilt top and ordering the backing fabric from the USA. But I had to quit my Quilting Guild and the Friday Craft group was without a meeting site. This left me without the means to create the quilt sandwich. I cannot crawl around the floor any more and didn't have a alternative to do it safely and comfortably. I guess I lost interest in quilting with UFOs piling up. :( So I just did embroidery projects and started a new craft--wire wrap jewelry making. I was busy all through the holidays. Then I made the 2013 New Year's resolution... back to quilting and no more UFOs.
I needed to tackle my FMQ and quilting design skills to do this. I started with Cindy Needham's Craftsy course and found the answer to my quilt sandwich dilemma with her technique. With the proper table the process is a breeze for me. Using her course and Leah Day's, I've completed Hugs and Kisses and now have renewed my enthusiasm for quilting. One more UFO to go! :D

Hi Libby. Glad to see you here again. You made me laugh out loud, because the sentence metal to the petal is the opposite of what Eleanor Burns used to say. Thanks for a good laugh.

Wow, I cannot believe that it is Jan 2012 and I am FINALLY getting around to finishing the 2010 BOM. I must thank all of you for your good wishes during my double knee replacement surgeries and recovery. To sum up, I spent July in the hospital (some complications with a MRSA not associated with the knees), the first weeks of August on the couch, visitors in August and September with some holidays but still on one crutch, October getting my non-quilting life back in order, and well, Nov. and Dec. preoccupation with the holidays and restarting my social life. I have finished with regular physio and now only see the knee surgeon every few months. One might think that I would have loads of time for quilting since it requires sitting at the machine but NO. There is a lot of getting up and down from the machine to cut, rearrange on the design wall, etc., AND putting the metal to the petal for long periods of time can be painful. It is also difficult to manhandle a large quilt while on even one crutch. But now my New Year's resolution is to get back to work because I have collected some UFOs along the way. Again, thanks for all your good wishes.

Libbi, I hope that you are sprinting around soon. You just need to be able to use the pedal ;-) Take care of yourself, Pam
