November Guild BOM

 

 

I took liberties with the center and made it into a pinwheel.  That Pincheel coloration was my 4th !!! version.  The previous 3 versions just didn't "do".   Note the similarity to my previous blog post, an October BOM - same pattern, different values.  

(Somewhere in my stuff, I found this perfectly usable design board.  Yeaaa!)  

Kaleidoscope DONE, BOM original

 

 

This one is DONE and named "Kaleidotato", remembering the fun I had "grabbing another piece of fabric" like the gals did during their fun with Potato Chip technique.  These are all efforts at blending values of blues and orange.  

Below is the October BOM.  The BOM committee had a great idea - every block for the entire year will be  the SAME block, just using different values, which results in a "new block" every month.  I will try to get each block posted, to show appreciation for this clever challenge.  Sadly, I didn't win the drawing for October.  

Long time, no see!

   

Close up of Strip and Slash project, a Jackie Robinson DVD.  I am still sewing and even have plans for  teaching a class or two.  This Strip and Slash is finished.  Fortunately I have the DVD,  and even more fortunately, I still have a working DVD player!  This technique is one of my favorites for managing leftovers. (The little white bit is my "ElaineAdair" label, folded inward.)   The blocks finish at less than 4 inches.  

Nobody wants to know ... my camera is limping along, and efforts to purchase a new one are so over-the-top with TMI, and no one has answers to camera questions, everyone insists on phone camera.  Terms like "newer and better UYX14" or "Latest DSLR12" or "faster ratio of xyz to abc" scare my brain into la-la land.   There are NO camera shops where I live, only a Walmart and no one seems interested in selling old-fashioned cameras.  whine, whine, whine.  

Computer shop says "the port on my computer no longer works and we don't repair that" but I AM able to transfer photos using that cord that came with the sometimes-working-camera but cannot use the little disc thingys.  Can you tell I'm not good at technical stuff?  

So, that's where I've been - eating worms and being cranky as well as productive with sewing and quilting. 

And just WHO/WHAT is on my roof?
