Work in Progress - Free BOMs

There is a group of ladies that I sew with that like the free Block-of-the-Month's available on several blogs or websites.  Today I am sharing the ones that have just started.  You need to print or download the patterns each month.  Most are only free during the month posted.  If you are late then you will have to pay a small fee to get that month's pattern.

Guess what?  I found another free BOM.  Last year it was created by Country Threads and they have retired and gone out of business.  Mandy has taken over for them and here is the January block.

I am working on Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion Mystery.  Since I spend most of my time quilting for others, I am very behind but I have all the clues printed out.  I have been working on cutting.

Its a work in progress (WIP).

 

Today I am linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for WIP-Wednesday.  Now I am heading to the basement to get a black and white quilt quilted.

WIP - Wednesday In Progress

This has been an interested week so far and promises to continue through the rest of the week.  Monday, my husband started a new job with Coca Cola after being with Peru Coca Cola for almost 23 yrs.  He started working as a warehouseman in the afternoons.   The first day they worked over 12 hours.  He is no stranger to long hours as he was a route driver for 23 years.  This has changed our lifestyle at home.  We have the mornings together and then he is off to work and I head downstairs to quilt.

Today we started out a little slow.  I got ready for a job interview and hubby slept in.  I haven't gone through a job interview for years but I certainly worked with many people in coaching them how to interview.  Before the interview, I had lunch with a couple of friends from church then headed to the Peru Mall for the interview. 

Upon arrival at the interview I was asked to pick out a product to take into the interview.  I chose a candle like I have at home.  This was a group interview of four candidates.  It was informal and flowed smoothly.  We were asked to share our product like we would with a customer.  I feel comfortable with how things went and hope I get the job for the holidays.  I miss daily contact with the public and think I will enjoy learning more about the products.  I am up to the challenge.

After the interview, I wasn't home long and my customer, Carol, stopped by to pick up her queen size quilt that I finished last night.  Visit me on Friday for the Friday Finishes.  I loaded my next quilt before leaving for the interview.  Here is a sneak peak of what I am working on and the final picture will be shown in the Friday Finishes.  Isn't it cute!?!

Hope your Wednesday was an adventure.

 

Yours in quilting,

Terry
