Do I need Therapy?

Block of the Month being offered by Sentimental Stitches called Benjamin Biggs.



Oh how I have resisted. I've heard rumblings about this BOM that is starting in January, but I've been strong, I've resisted clicking buttons to find the website and drool all over the quilt. But I am simply human, a quilter who loves applique and has no resistance to red/green/cream quilts from days gone by.

My BTCT will need a sister quilt to keep it company, and so I will embark on another 2+ year journey and will probably hand applique these blocks. However, you all have permission to call an intervention and come take away my thimble if you hear that I'm going to hand quilt this one!

So are you going to join in the fun? Do you want a separate blog for this quilt or a continuation of the BTCT blog?

And if I knew how to get pictures from my iphone to my tablet (surface) I would show you photos of the lovely snow that has be hanging out at my guys place today. How could I forget it was supposed to snow last night? And I have NO quilting supplies here.

Stay warm wherever you are!

Oh my Sharon, I immediately thought of you when I first saw this a few days ago..I think if anyone can do this it's you. Can you believe the snow we are getting? And weren't we smart to leave our snowblower in Mammoth when we sold our home? I will love following along..same blog as the BTCT...i think you need a backup supply of needles, thimble and thread to have with you.

I better correct that statement above..make that "follow you while you stitch it"!

If you need an intervention, then many other people will as well, including me. I'm in! Love it!

O that dreaded siren song of a red and green appliqué quilt! How can one resist ? Lol I'm in.

No intervention needed here--we're talking applique. I admire, but I do not do. : )
I will watch with fascination and awe.

Yay! I think that makes four of us in our TAS chapter now doing this quilt. Hope to see you there today.

Nancy said...

Oh Sharon I think we both need to have an intervention, but isn’t another it a beauty.

Such a beautiful new project!
I look forward to following your progress on this one.

Mimi said...

Do you need therapy?...hmmmm....maybe. I know at this point in time, I would need therapy, but then again, applique IS therapy at times. Wishing you a Merry Christmas. ;D
