The Last of the Show and Tell

 

 

Today is the last of the show and tell for the BOM 2015, I have enjoyed seeing everyone's quilts. But this is the last of the show and tell that will be eligible for the end of the 2015 BOM prizes. I will be picking winners and posting them on Monday, February 29th. I've got some fun prizes and they are listed below.

I haven't posted in a while, life is busy, not in a usual way. I have been juggling more than usual. Some of you know I work in a library during the day and 'quilt' by night (and weekends too) but since before Christmas I have been doing double duty at work. My supervisor took a fall on the ice and has been out since suffering from a head injury. I have been holding down the fort at school since. I keep hoping that she'll recover soon. We all miss her smiling face at work. So I come home at night and collapse in my chair. To add to it all, my blood pressure has spiked, really spiked so I'm on meds. ----big sigh---- This morning is one of the first mornings I actually feel good. Feel like I can conquer the world. At least my little quilt world. I didn't know I was feeling crappy until I woke up this morning feeling great! I know things will get better and I'm hopeful that my co-worker will be back soon. The kids and I really miss her. So thank you for listening...
 

Penny's quilt... I love the pink fabric. Here's a little note from Penny... "Loved this quilt when I saw it...still love it after sewing the blocks together...still need to sandwich and binding will be in the blue in the quilt.."

Judith's quilt, so cute! The added flower border on the top is adorable. Here's a little note from Judith..."I kinda did my own thing with the layout. This quilt makes me happy! Haven't had a chance to quilt it yet. But soon!"

Lori's quilt, I love how she fill the spaces with hearts, bows, flowers and stars. So cute and a nice way to tie some of the colors together. Here's a note from Lori... "I made this quilt with a super group of ladies. We enjoyed each others company through the year. I changed the dog block to a kitty and added some fun applique in the blank blocks."

Helen's quilt is so cute too. I love her birthday cake, it looks like chocolate! Yum!!!
Here's a sweet note from Helen... "The sewing group I belong to, was as excited as I was for the first of the month. 20 of us say "it is a very cute quilt." Thank you...Thank you!" Helen, you are very welcome... it was a fun quilt to design and I have loved seeing everyone's results.

Now onto Prizes!
