I'm happy to report that I'm back on track with my Evening Bloom goal of one block a month! Here is block number seven!!!
My favorite block so far!!
These blocks are so big I can't fit more than 6 on my design wall,
so between the two pictures you can see my seven finished blocks, only two more to go.
I also finished block two of my Memories of Province BOM this month.
I only made one change, I used the red floral print that I didn't use in block one instead of the dot print that I did use.
I'm behind on this BOM, I got a late start and should really do one a week instead of one of month, maybe in March.I'm still planning on using my extra day this year for a day of sewing, a whole day of sewing, a whole day of sewing and no cooking, a whole day of sewing, no cooking and pjs. The fine folks at Superior Threads are sponsoring a giveaway to go along with my extra day plans, be sure to stop back by Wednesday, February 29th.
Beautiful. Is this a free bom?
ReplyDeleteWonderful blocks and I love the idea of an extra day for sewing on the 29th!
ReplyDeleteYour Evening Bloom blocks look so nice! It is a quilt I want to make. Last year I brought background fabrics for it, but that is as far as I have gotten. Can't wait to see what you make on the 29th.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful sets of blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look great I especially love your evening bloom. (I do think you have the bottom right section turned in last block though?)
ReplyDeleteWow! Everything you make is just gorgeous! When I grow up, I want to be YOU!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I was attracted to you blog from your avatar in a comment you made on Darlene's Quilting Daze blog because I tried my hand at decorating cakes, etc. I am just as pleased to see such beautiful quilt-work!!
ReplyDeleteEvening Bloom blocks looking great!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the striped stem. Gives that flower a little bit of attitude! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those flower blocks!
ReplyDeleteAll the blocks are beautiful, Thelma!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! I really like both of these, Thelma! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been in love with your applique blocks since you started working on them. So glad to see them back. You do such beautiful applique. Your BOM blocks are gorgeous too. Is the one little corner piece supposed to be turned different? It will be fun to see it all come together.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful projects. Wouldn't it be great to have enormous design walls! Could they ever be large enough? - Not in my space ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your work.
Your blocks are beautiful, as usual! I really like the fussy-cut center of your Memories of Provence block - it just makes the whole design so perfect!

Loving your blocks! If I remember correctly, you're doing needle turn applique on the Blackbird project?
ReplyDeleteFor me the 29th will be an extra work day! Wish it could be sewing, pjs and no cooking but it's just not to be.
I need to get back onto my evening bloom quilt1
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! I know you do tend to make a few changes with almost every pattern you make, but I think the change in the Memories of Provence block might possibly accidental. An easy fix though...
ReplyDeleteYour evening Bloom quilts is going to be just gorgeous Thelma ! You are making great progress !
ReplyDeleteThelma, the Evening Bloom quilt is going to be a real beauty. I also love your BOM blocks. Beautiful post! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful block! Sure wish I could join you on Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteHi Again Thelma! I have been doing a bit of blog hopping this morning and I just had to come back and ask you a question that I have been meaning to ask for a while now. Do you realize that from your delightful blog and wonderful posts, many bloggers use a vocabulary that has sprung specifically from your quilting methods and habits??? I have seen many different 'Thelma' terms used in describing they way people are changing up patterns to meet their own liking just a bit better...but today, on Becky, the Quilting Booklady's blog, I found a post from Feb. 7th where she says "I plan to "Thelmasize" it a bit." It may have already been called to your attention, but just in case it hadn't I just wanted to let you know that yet another new term (at least to me) has been added to the 'Thelmalizing' word list that seems to continue to grow. It just goes to show Thelma, what a huge impact your beautiful quilts, quilting skills, methods and wonderful blog are having all over blog land. Big Hugs....
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful blocks!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your extra day of sewing!!! I will be thinking of you while I'm at work; an extra day of work and working for *free* since my day job is salary :( Gorgeous Evening Bloom block. It is going to be a stunning quilt. Just stunning!!
