BOM rehashed

I'd be willing to jump in and make your BOM if you KIS [keep it simple]--no
paper piecing as us beginners cant handle that yet If you have some
blocks appliqued, have an alternate block for those who arent ready for
applique

So many of you mentioned that a BOM would be fun to do that I decided to
get
one going. First try, contact a company called Kindred Spirits
(www.kindredspiritsdesigns.com ) NAYY, to see if they might give us
permission to set up a site with a pattern from an out of print book of
theirs called Gatherings. The quilt is charming, sort of a country feeling
quilt using pieced blocks and some applique, buttonhole stitches and a
classic color palette of green, gold, red and black. They responded very
quickly, telling me that if we wanted we could buy the pattern and
instructions from them.
Thats fine, its their product and they are welcome to make a profit from
it. Im dissappointed that we wont be able to use it for free. Ahh well...
time to think of something else, right? Right!!
Im going to try to make a BOM, just for us here on RTCQ. Im going to ask
for
Karens help (since she started this whole thing.. lol) The plan right now
is
to make something for beginner quilters that isnt a sampler type quilt.
Hopefully it will be something that will look nice in a variety of
colorways
and one that will inspire a lot of you to use it. Wish me luck!

I think this would be sooo much fun!!! Everytime I try one at a quilt
store I get bogged down by not being able to make the time, or
instructions are purposely vague so you end up buying more fabric etc.
One here would be perfect!!!! Not only would it fit my time
constraints, I can't think of a better group of people to share with!!!

start small and branch out, soon you'll be making up new ways to do things
all by yourself and telling us about them.

did they want each of us to buy the pattern?
or buy one pattern and put it online for the rest of us?
good grief, did they realize that we are the biggest quilting group in the
world? the 'only' quilting newsgroup.
i suppose if we each had to buy their pattern they'd make a bundle but
they'd also lose out on the goodwill.
being as the book/pattern is out of print seems to me its just being nice to
allow us to do it probably getting them more ongoing online business
afterwards but if thats how they want it...
so much for their kindred spirits...

sokay, Di, we love ya and know you'll come up with a bootiful BOM.
we also know that with all the ideas one can get from books, online etc its
kinda hard not to have some quilts look a lot l like others.
cant wait to see whatcha come up with.

Did you look at the World Wide Quilting Page? They have several BOM quilt
ideas, and they are all free to anyone. Just an idea.
