I decided to do both...

...the Craftsy BOM that is.

I've decided to do both 2012's and 2013's, now I may be setting myself up for a fall, but I figure I can pick and choose between the two if I get overloaded, and as there is no time limit if I fall behind I can catch up whenever.

January's block is the Offset Log Cabin, easy peasy lemon squeezy. Bring on February's lesson!!! 

2013 January blocks - offset log cabin

My plan is to use as much of my modest stash as possible for the 2013 BOM, so by the end of the year this one  - if it ever gets quilted - will be a 'feast for the eyes'. And I say if it ever gets quilted because I  am treating this BOM as pure refresher/learning experience in block making, and possibly quilting.

Bringing me right back down to earth with a bang is one of the other BOM I'm taking part in, the Skill Builder hosted by Alyssa at Pile O'Fabric. This BOM is promising to be a goody, I'm expecting to learn so much from it, and I can't wait to get starting later this week.

I posted this picture last week

inspiration for the Skill Builder

and here is my first fabric delivery

god bless the Kona colour card

I have to say, I'm quite pleased with my choices!

  4. The offset log cabin must be the 2013 Jan block, is there just one per month this year, it was 2 last year?? I still have the last 4 to do. I love that kona bundle, it really is beautiful, like I said before, and I'm with Erin, face smooshing required! : )
