I know you are ready for the 2012 BOMquilts.com block of the month quilt to begin – and it is time!

Just posted the first two blocks:

“Bittersweet Churning” Block #1

“Bittersweet Churning” Block 2

You can obtain these block instructions at http://www.BOMquilts.com!

Life got in the way of getting my 2012 BOMquilts.com pattern written, my apologies to those who have been waiting for it!  But, the intro with fabric requirements are live at www.BOMquilts.com and Linda at www.AbbiMays.com is all ready for you to go and order your quilt fabric kit for the quilt (either in the Bittersweet fabric line or a fabric line of your choice)!

And, to make up for my lackadaisical ways, I will post TWO (2) of the quilt blocks on or before March 22nd for your quilting pleasure!

Get ready…..

Get set…..

QUILT ON!

Here are photos of the buttons in the wall hanging, just too cute:

And, if you want a little whimsy with your wall hanging, add these embellished clothes pins!

On this July 4th, I have a very simple but serious request for you to partake in.  Toyota is giving away 100 cars to non-profit organizations, and one that my husband’s cousin works with is http://www.TexasWings.org.  They would like the opportunity to win the car so they can transport more breast cancer patients to and from their radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

This opportunity is close to home as my MIL is a breast cancer survivor and my paternal grandmother had breast cancer way back early in her life.  

“Texas Wings provides no-cost cancer treatment to uninsured women in Central and south Texas since 1999 because everyone deserves a lifetime.”  They are a 2011 grantee of Susan G. Komen for the Cure San Antonio Affiliate.

Please, in between the family, fun, fireworks and food – take a moment to vote for Texas Wings at http://www.facebook.com/toyota

Do it for all women….who deserve a lifetime.
