Dude, Where’s My BOM?
January 11th, 2009
Anne Sutton of Bunny Hill Designs has a crazy cute free BOM she’s started on her Bunny Tales blog. As soon as I saw it, I wanted to drop everything and get started on it. Who needs to eat?! Bad example. Who needs to do other stuff?! I’m not the only one who’s dropped everything to start it either. Anne S’s fabric block was so cute… but so was Anne B’s darling version in wool. What to do, what to do… so I did both. My background and appliqué is fabric, and my non-denominational frozen precipitation figure (with the giant schnoz, oops) is wool felt.
It’s all a mystery, but Anne has great instructions so you can do some planning ahead. For my blocks, my background is from my coveted bolt of yellow Moda polka dot (my sunshine-on-a-bolt), and my appliqué will all be in Swell and Sweet. Swell. Sweet. Swell. Sweet. Swell. Sweet. My apologies to the Urban Chicks for the image popping into my head of you two getting tattoos.
Edited in: The yummy, yummy, yummy yellow background is a Moda Basics called “Dottie” and the color is called “Butter”. Call your local/online quilt shop TODAY and BEG them to order you some. And then please let me know about it… I want need to buy more!

Unsupervised quilting, crafting, mischief and absurdity from my teenie weenie tiny little studio in the woods on the North Oregon coast.
I have seen this block popping up everywhere. Yours has got to be the cutest so far.
January 11th, 2009Holeee Crap Monica! That’s the cutest darn block EVER! AWESOME!
January 11th, 2009Now, I’m even more convinced of extracurricular activities in the Zombie household. Those fabrics are perfect. PURR-FECT!
I bow down to you in homage. You. Are. Amazing!!!
I love your fabric combo! And the aqua trim, OMG!!! Woman, can you spare a kit with the same yummy fabrics you’re using? In return…
I’ll do your bidding, my master!
Since it’s a Bunny Hill Design, I bet every block is going to be stinken’ cute!! Better not be adding any snow porn to this BOM, naughty Paula Abdul!
January 11th, 2009Just like everything you do Monica- This is ADORABLE and PERFECT! A real WOW. :-)
January 11th, 2009Your block is the absolute cutest one I’ve seen so far!!! I love your color/fabric choices!

January 11th, 2009I love it! I’m going to collect the patterns, but not start it until this summer.
January 11th, 2009I have been checking out this BOM, and yours is soooo cute! I decided I wouldn’t start anything else, but after seeing yours its a must!! Your blog is great I’ll be back!
January 11th, 2009Nadine
That is so cute!
January 11th, 2009OHMYGOSH THAT’S THE CUTEST EVER.. Way more my kind of colorways for sure. And clever, good grief.Makes me wish I had Swell left and a pile-o-sweet!
You’re so clever, I never though of making it in bright cheerful colors like that.
January 11th, 2009This is gorgeous! That Anne is one talented woman for sure. And you my friend have made her design so gorgeous…and whimsical…and warm…and cozy…and cute…and…ok, I’ll stop now. I’m thinking I might need to start one of these myself. In my new sewing room! Which is almost done. Yippee!!! x
January 11th, 2009It’s adorable! You do the cutest dang stuff. And so jealous you already have Sweet!
January 11th, 2009OH OH OH!!!! So cute!! I may have to drop everything as well. How can anything be that darn cute??
January 11th, 2009“non-denominational frozen precipitation figure”!?!?!?!?!?! OMG!!! That just cracks me up!! …..not that I didn’t notice how cute your block is …. which it definately is … but my brain just zeroed in on your politically correct phrase ….. and now I must go and change my Depends ….
January 11th, 2009Oh my Heck ! Talk about ADORABLE ! Ah ! I can’t believe I haven’t started mine. I beein wishy washy too. Wool ? (which I’ve never attempted) or Fab? mmm. I have had too many dumb boring things to do! I think I should go on strike and than just sew all day every day, for like a week. Ha. I’d pay it for months! Can you imagine the laundry. Eeek. Love your block! So fun that we’re seein them pop up all over! Anne did it again. ooxx`jod
January 11th, 2009Oh my that is cute.
January 12th, 2009I love the fabric you’ve used.

I love your creative block and happy blog. Sew pretty!
January 12th, 2009I love your version! The non-denominational precipitation figure, just looks so happy with all those bright lovely colors surrounding him. Although he might get a little warm in the wool. But, you know it is a design decision.
January 12th, 2009Love your fabrics. With the coveted yellow dots, this has to be the happiest darn snow man ever. Hmm, Dude, where is MY BOM? With all of these blocks popping up I think it is high time I drop the things I am working on and get to it. Thanks for the extra motivation.
January 12th, 2009I have mine done too.Your block is sooooo cute.I luv seeing all te different ones.Mine is in my blog. Amy

Holly
January 12th, 2009Love it! I want to start one myself. I read and re-read the instructions but I’m applique challenged and can’t figure out what to start with first! The basket? The snowman? The stars?? See! I told you I was applique challenged! WAH!!!
Jen
January 12th, 2009That’s too cute! I love the yellow background. It reminds me of my sewing room! I love the idea of the snowman being in felt.
January 12th, 2009Monica this is cuter than cute. I felt the same way when I saw Anne’s block. I really love it. Your version couldn’t be lovlier. I love that yellow dot. Whew. That is something.
January 12th, 2009Wow.
January 12th, 2009And more wow.
How do you DO that? Yeah, the design is plenty cute it’s true. But your fabrics!!! I MUST make one! Exactly like yours! If you don’t want me to be a copycat you’ll just have to come down here and try to stop me!
This looks fantastic! I love your choices of fabrics! A real WOOOOOOOOOW!
January 12th, 2009I am doing this one too. I’m still prepping my pieces, no way can I keep up with your swifty little stitching fingers. I love the fabrics you chose.
January 12th, 2009Connie W
Your block is just the cutest. Love your colors and use of rick rack and that yellow polka dot background.
January 12th, 2009Carrie

January 12th, 2009Oh boy …..now you’ve done it!!! Those fabrics on that polka dot fabric is STINKIN’ cute. I had already decided on a color way for the BOM, but now you have my wheels turning!!!!

January 13th, 2009OMG!!! That is by far the cutest version yet! Love it, Love it, Love it!!!

January 13th, 2009Simply Too Cute!…I am joinging Anne Sutton’s BOM right now! Your’s is adorable and has personality to boot!
January 13th, 2009We’re on the same track again, Monica (thank goodness it isn’t stacking wood this time)! I had in mind to make some labels for my quilt chest using yellow polka dots! I love your snowman - he just makes you want to party! Anne B. convinced me to eke out some time and make the Bunny Hill BOM in wools - soon to join the crowd!
January 13th, 2009Cheers!
so i look at your blog post today right? and i think “oh that is a cute applique of a snowperson in a garden basket”…and then i see the title “Where’s My BOM?” and i wonder what is BOM? i have no idea so i type in BOM to google search and some flickr links come up and WHOA!!!! i see all these, you know girls. girls with extra large bosoms. very large and somewhat undressed bosoms. then of course it hits me..oh!!! that must mean something sewing related not body related! i come back here all smart as a whip and it comes to me…..block of the month right?!! am i with you now? well you know it isn’t my fault. i wasn’t here in the first place as a seamstress. that was secondary to coming as a mutual friend of Laurie’s. but now i’m in tune :)
January 13th, 2009awww.. thats absolutelyfreakinawesome! I LOVE IT!!!
I might give up housework to make it too.. LOL

OMG - how cute is that?!? You did a wonderfully HZ job on that block, that’s for sure and for true. I am in awe of your quilty greatness.
January 15th, 2009I got to see this block in person yesterday. It’s even cuter IRL!
January 15th, 2009DARLING! Lovin’ every little bit of it!!
January 15th, 2009Glory Je to Besus, Marino! You’re suppose to say get your own. You really suck at this game. And I love ya for it!
January 16th, 2009That is a darling block and you know one of the reasons is because YOU know what colors and fabrics to use. Great job.
January 16th, 2009Thanks for the inspiration. I love your wonderful blog.
Mary Lou Weidman
Wow, super cute!
January 16th, 2009~Emily
wow, cute:) Maybe this can motivate me back to reality!!
January 17th, 2009I surely will keep you in mind for tamales. I can’t believe how many people have them for Christmas! I’m trying to get with Natalie (vintage sparrow) to come and teach us! I have a couple other leads, but I’d love to have Natalie do it with us, she’s so much fun! Karen
January 21st, 2009Wow. Your block is totally gorgeous.
January 23rd, 2009Christine
What a cute block. It’s so cool everyone’s block of this same pattern look so different. I like the rick rack handle.
January 24th, 2009Your block is so cute. I am in love with the dots!! I may have to give this block a go as well.. I saw it and saved it but now that I have seen others it makes me want to try it too. I am new to blogging but am going to try it out. I have lots to tell. Ha Ha.
January 24th, 2009Monica,
Your block is awesome! My online quilting group is doing this block and sharing pictures too, but none of us has used such fun and bright fabrics! I hope the snowman doesn’t melt with all that sunshine! I think I might put a cowboy hat on mine (since I’m in Texas) to shade him from the sun a little. Thanks for sharing!
Anna
January 30th, 2009Yo Woman. I keep coming back to this post. Methinks I’m obsessed. Do you know the name of those polka dots? I might have to hunt them down. I’ve tried searching moda.yellow.polka.dots and no joy. Is there any hope???
