My New Year OMG & BOM!

Happy Happy New Year!!
 Lucky me, I'm on winter break for the rest of the week yet, still get up early and have breakfast with hubby before he leaves for work. Then I sit right here at our breakfast table and catch up with all of you in the blogging world until daybreak. (Which in our neck of the woods doesn't happen till about 8:00 am.) With that said, I decided to jump in and join two challenges this year in hopes to make a dent in my Quilty Inventory List.

First up: I'm joining many of you at Patty's OMG:
My January goals are to:
1. FINISH my Anne Downs quilt and have it sewn together into a flimsy
2. Get our grand-guys cow quilt quilted and gifted!

Next, I'm joining Deana who blogs at Dreamworthy Quilts for her Create Your Own BOM,
Mine will be by Lori Holt Picture Quilt:
There are twenty blocks in all and I plan on completing four blocks a month.
January I will make the bird, butterfly, cake and camera.
Thanks for the motivation Patty and Deana.

  9. Yay! I love your Lori Holt Project. If I didn't have my year already committed I would make it with you. Watching your blocks appear each week will be a joy!

    Lucky you! I went back go school on Jan 2nd, but I do get a whole week off for spring break.

    Happy blogging and quilting!

  15. These dark mornings are still throwing me off (as are the early dark evenings). Good luck with your OMG and BOM plans. Enjoy your last day of the Winter break. I'm ready for a weekend and I've only been back at work 2 days. It's going to be a long year!
