Just sneaking in a bit of a look

How are you going with Dawn’s and my Out Of The Box – BOM?

There are some gorgeous blocks up in Flickr and its great to see how everyone is doing their own thing and getting one or two of mine and mixing them with a couple of Dawns.

Go HERE to have a look at all the different ways everyone is doing their blocks.

They are looking really good and the colour choices are fabulous too.

Here is a sneak peek at Block 2.

This block will be available for you all to download on February 1st 2011.

Block 1

is still available for download and you can get it HERE.

Make sure you show everyone your block by putting them up in the Flickr group and have fun putting them together.

Dawn and I are going to have a bit of fun in a few weeks so make sure you get yours done.

Hugs to all……Vicki

Hi everyone and thank you for your fabulous comments…I have read them all and also visited your blogs. I have commented on most of your blogs and you can understand that if I did comment on every one I would be on the computer all day….my DH is moaning about the amount of time I am spending on it now as it is. Oh well….

Yes…Number 3 giveaway is for my blog name change. It was Tozz’s Corner but as you can see I have changed it to The Pickledish Patch.

Which will coincide with my new online store…soon to be up and running.

But as I said before I am still Vicki *grin*

Gather your goodies…….

Like the heading says…Gather your goodies….

		Collection of Goodies VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL

Like ribbons, lace, ricrac, your favourite buttons, beads, threads and anything that you have got saved but haven't found the right place to sew them on to yet.

Plus of course your choice of background fabric and a Honey Bun Roll of your choice as well.

You can use any fabric you like but I will be using a Honey Bun Roll of Nostalgia.

It’s an oldie but I love it!

The background fabric I am going to use is a light pale fawn colour that matches in with the Nostalgia colours. Of course you can use any colour you like.

What are we collecting all these goodies for you ask?

A new BOM is in the making!

It’s called

“Out Of The Box –

BOM”

Dawn of ‘As Sweet As Cinnamon’ and I are going to give you all a free BOM off our blogs but before you get too excited it’s not until January  2011. 

The first blocks will be on January 5th 2011 and there after on the 1st of each month.

We will run this for 9 months and then of course the finale will be the layout of all the blocks.

We have to sew it up yet but our plan is to have 4 stitcheries into one block each per month for you.

So really that’s 8 stitchery blocks

for you to use in your

‘Out Of The Box - BOM’ 

each month.

We are very excited about this as for a while now we have been wanting to use our saved embellishments and we know you have some saved also.

What we have done so far is already looking fabulous!

Here’s a sneak peek for you all….

Lots of bordered blocks….MMmm yumm!

There are 9 blocks all up…….

So get your goodies ready and be prepared to join Dawn and I on January 5th 2011 for our

‘Out Of The Box - BOM’

Dawn is going to set up a Flickr so everyone can share their monthly stitcheries ….isn't that a great idea? I think so because I don't know how to set it up *grins* and also it’s a great way to see everyone's blocks and that is always good. Because, I don’t know about you but I love seeing what everyone does.

Here is a button that you can put on your blog to let everyone know about our BOM

Just right click and copy to your computer and then load it up onto your side bar of your blog with the link back to either mine or Dawn’s blog. We are going to have lots of fun with this BOM *big smile*

Hugs to all………..Vicki

How special is this and this and this.

I had a lovely surprise in my emails the other day as Jytte sent me a picture of her completed Flirting With Flowers BOM. Isn’t it fabulous? I love how she has changed the layout and given it her personal touch and design. Thanks for showing me Jytte, I think its fabulous! Jytte doesn't have a blog.

If you missed out on getting the pattern for the layout of Flirting With Flowers then it’s still available for you to download for free. Just go HERE and scroll down until you see where to click onto. I was going to put it up in my Etsy shop but just haven't got there yet….Talk about lazy!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you seen Dawn’s gorgeous SnowFlakes BOM? No?? Oh do pop over to her blog and grab the patterns for her absolutely fabulous BOM. Its simply darling!

I have joined in another swap doing Hexagon flowers. These are just so addictive ….I did this one for Liz and she loves it as I have already sent it to her.

It has a cream centre and these are the colours that Liz wanted. I have put together a few a lot for myself and will work on doing these for me in between doing the ones for the swap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I also received another gorgeous Framed Hexagon (Hexagon Swap) from Nat…she felt that the first one she sent me was not up to her standard and so did another one for me…how lucky am I? I loved the first one and love this one too. Thanks heaps Nat.

   

Here in Australia we have to go the voting polls tomorrow and cast our vote. I wonder who is going to get in ….Julia Gillard or Tony Abbott….I think its going to be……Hmmm….you will have to wait and see just like me.

Happy sewing and hugs to all……….Vicki
