Great reminder, Lorna! I know that I have a terrible habit of thinking about doing something, then never getting around to doing it. And how often do we see pattern requests on the forum form people who are looking for BOM months they "lost", or more likely forgot to download!

I went to the BOM page to download the latest month and realized I had not downloaded any of the months since March!! :shock: Please don't forget to download all of the available patterns even if you are not doing this BOM at this time. In the past, all patterns go away at the end of the year.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this whole month is devoted to the quilting. That has always been the frustrating part of year-long BOMs in that the 12th month you are still making blocks or borders and have to finish the quilt in the new year (if you are as slow as I am)...which makes it quite difficult to start the next BOM in January. So this is awesome.

Off to the Autumn Quilt Festival this morning. It is at the Airspace Conservation Hall, Imperial War Museum, Duxford, Cambridgeshire, 1-3 November.
