Title: August’s BOM - Circle of Flowers
Post by: StitchinTime on August 01, 2018, 06:55:33 AM: Iminei is having to deal with troublemakers in The Village (tensions are running high and low, stitches have been skipping around the place and there is now a thread drought), so you’ve got me again this month.

This month’s block is a variation on the Circle of Friends block. By fussy cutting the squares from floral fabrics and including some “leaves”, the circle of friends becomes –

CIRCLE OF FLOWERS (https://photos.app.goo.gl/S7mNge1fy4pSTkuK9)

As usual, click on the first picture in the album to bring it up to full size. If no instructions are visible, click on the i icon to make them appear. For those who prefer to work from printed instructions, all the details are available in this PDF file (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Y_fWzCT8nfzoPuukImZds3umLRQaCEg8).

Do let me know if you spot any errors or if anything is unclear.

Don’t forget, there is a dedicated Hall of Fame for all your creations and an exclusive The Sewing Place Prize Winners Badge for everyone who completes all of 2018's BOMs.

Edited 19 August: When making this block in my BOM fabrics, I noticed the line drawing of the layout did not match the photo of the layout (the photo was correct). I've updated the the line drawing in the album and in the pdf file. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Post by: Sandra on August 01, 2018, 07:55:17 AM: Thank you, @StitchinTime for doing our BOM for us again. :)

I'll definitely be giving it a go. I'm trying to think if I've got flowery fabrics...I'm sure to have something.

Post by: StitchinTime on August 01, 2018, 08:17:28 AM: It doesn't have to be flowers - you could fussy cut anything that takes your fancy. Alternatively, you could go for a rainbow effect and just use solids instead of the fussy cut squares.

Post by: Sandra on August 01, 2018, 08:27:39 AM: I'll have to have a rummage and see what I can find. I'm sure to find something.

A big 'thank you' to you too @Iminei for all the work that you have put into the BOM over the last 18 months+.

Post by: Cheesecake on August 04, 2018, 16:47:19 PM: All caught up and plenty of August left.
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: maliw on August 04, 2018, 16:48:52 PM: Wow that was quick, I must look out my flowery fabrics.
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Sandra on August 04, 2018, 19:23:54 PM: Lovely work, Cheesecake. :)

I'm still looking at different fabrics. :S I've given up trying to find flowers. I don't have anything suitable, so I've been looking to see if I've got any other prints which could be used.

At the back of my mind, I'm thinking I could look for something on Thursday if I make it to the FoQ.

You have been busy, hop along and open up the BOM HOF for the others now,

:angel:

@Sandra
How about pictorial kids characters, frogs? Spacemen? Sort of I Spy ... or really directional prints, zigzags, lines, circles?
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Sandra on August 05, 2018, 10:22:20 AM: @Iminei I've found a selection of possibilities which are currently sitting to one side while I think about it. They've been sat there overnight and they still look OK this morning.

I couldn't seem to find a good range of colours of a similar type of print. I know what fabric type I'd have liked but I don't have it.
I was eyeing up some of my Kaffe Fassett layer cakes but can't bring myself to fussy-cut it up. -<

Noooooo! I've got plenty of fabrics. Just not quite what I'd like to have for this little project.

If I make it to Brum on Thursday, *tuts*, I'm going to have to buy some fabrics. Isn't that annoying when that happens? :D ;)

Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: maliw on August 05, 2018, 21:47:15 PM: I know that feeling, I bought some last year for the Shimmer BOM. I had lots of fabric, just not the right fabric.

Post by: Iminei on August 06, 2018, 13:38:30 PM: A big thank you to Stitchintime for such a lovely relaxing block that was an ideal way to let the stresses and strains of the past few ~~weeks~~ months melt away ... though it wasn't all plain sailing

:angel:

That is beautiful! I can see a whole quilts in those modern prints, love them, which range are they from ??
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Sandra on August 17, 2018, 08:56:32 AM: Thanks Iminei. :)

I've been to check what they are.....The dark spotty one's 'Flurry'....Dashwood Studio. The swirly yellow and blue are 'All About Color' for Cozy Quilt Shop...Moda...and the green, red and turquoise are 'Za Za' by Erin Michael, again for Moda.
The pink and the orange are just unknown odd bits.

I've had them for a few years. Can't remember where I got them from.

Oooh! 0_0

I have so much catching up to do... roll on September, even though there will be another BOM to add to the list!
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: StitchinTime on August 20, 2018, 08:34:22 AM: I made this in my BOM fabrics yesterday and while doing so I noticed there was an error in my original instructions - the layout of the leaves in the line drawing did not match the layout in the photo (the photo was correct). I've updated the line drawing in the album and revised the PDF file. My apologies if this has caused confusion and necessitated unpicking for anyone.

Anyway after some unpicking and resewing, here is my circle of flowers.

Post by: Iminei on August 20, 2018, 09:16:55 AM: Looking at the BOM HOF, everyone seems to have got it right SIT so I wouldn't worry ... very nice block it was too ....

Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Bogwoppit on December 07, 2018, 11:08:36 AM: As I've been all Christmased out with 2 christingle services, decoration day and getting stuff ready for school Christmas fair next week, I thought this would be a nice change.

A circle of bees on flowers. Not inspired, I didn't have any florals to fussy cut and the bees were the right size.

Missing points and not lining up in parts but as the most complicated one I've done so far pretty good I think.

PS decoration day is when the whole school mixes up the ages and everything gets covered in glue and glitter. Place is transformed as are the staff and volunteers. Still shedding sparkles 3 days later.

Post by: fajita on December 07, 2018, 12:19:18 PM: Love your bees, @Bogwoppit

Hie thee hence to the BOM HOF, I think there are still a few Garibaldi's left!

:angel:
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Acorn on December 07, 2018, 14:15:13 PM: There are. I don't like Garibaldis. :P

Thank you for reminding me that my BOM needs to be made into a cushion to go out this Christmas! It will look great against the new settee cover in the conservatory, and isn't likely to fade over a few winter weeks.
Title: Re: August’s BOM
Post by: Lowena on December 07, 2018, 17:24:02 PM: I love Garibaldis. In fact Garibaldis, Jammy Dodgers and Rich Tea are my favourite biscuits <3
