July: I can't believe I only did 49 blocks this month. Cause I tried to sew everyday this month, there were a few day's that I didn't get to sew due to illness.
Here are some pictures of the blocks I did this month.

Skill Builder BOM Lesson 7 

 I just love this fabric bowl..

  

 I did 30 log cabin blocks for the "Express Your Love" background.

Here's what I made with all those HST that I did last month.

I know this isn't a block, but I worked on this on our Guild's sewing retreat.

Couple of things I have been working on

If you haven't seen me post for a couple of days, it's because I have had "stomach bug".  Here is some pictures of items that I did before I got the "bug" and something that I did today.

First of all I cleaned my machine, since I was sewing just about everyday this month, I thought that it may need cleaned... and I was right. No wonder it was giving me some trouble.

Now that the machine is all clean and free of lint.  I worked on a couple of blocks for our Guild's Bee.

This morning Pat Sloan posted this on Facebook so I had to try it..

Skill Builder BOM - Lesson 7 - Block Lesson

Pile O' Fabric - Block-Lesson-7 skill-builder-bom

I am catching up on my BOM projects that I have started. I know that I have a couple lessons that I haven't done yet on the Skill Builder - BOM, but they are foundation paper piecing and English paper piecing. Right now my printer isn't working to print out the templates. So as soon as I get a new printer I will get those done. Can't wait.

But for now here is what I have done so far for Lesson 7 - Blocks.

Haven't sewn the curves together yet. Hopefully I can get too them today.  This was really cool you have two blocks out of one.

 

If you haven't been doing the Skill Builder BOM you should check it out.  I have learned so much. I have always had the fear of curves and she has a great video to help you out.
