BOM Addict

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Recently, I got a little crazy buying fabric on ebay :-p  Most of those fabrics have arrived and are washed, ironed and ready for projects!

Lately also, I found at one of my local quilt shops, R&R Quilts, that they had a $5 BOM (block of the month) going and also a “Buck a Block” one as well.  Of course, I’m doing both! 

In past years, I started a BOM, one of the JoAnn’s ones….and typical of me, it hasn’t been finished. I have all the block kits and the setting kit just waiting for me.

After finding the $5 BOM and the Buck a Block BOM, I have found that I really like the BOM concept.  So to the internet I went…searching eBay for BOM kits.  I found a gorgeous one done in Red White and Bold by Moda Fabrics.  I have all 12 kits purchased and am waiting for the setting kit to be available in April.

I know there are many free BOM available online, and I will be following up on this post with a list of ones I find.

Have a great week!

Howdy!

You’ve found my new blog!  Once upon a time, several years ago, it was a dream of mine to own my very own online quilt store.  The name I picked out was “Calling It Quilts”.  Well, the quilt store never materialized, although many other businesses did, but I’ve kept the name in my head all these years and decided to make a blog with it.

I’ve been a quilt-a-holic for over 18 years.  I “put down” my quilting for a few years while my kids were younger and my other online businesses monolopized all my time.  I have sold all of my online businesses and pride myself at being a fantastic SAHM to my children. Now, I’ve found that I love blogging!  Of course, it’s “the age of blogging”.  So, Calling It Quilts blog is born.

I’m glad you found me here, be sure to add my link to your favorite blogs and visit on a regular basis.  You never can tell what you’ll find here.
