Bobbing Along -Block on Board Hop!

SEW Have you been BOB-bing Along?


Welcome to my day on the BOB Blog Hop!
 

 

I've blogged about my handy GO! Accuquilt cutter before...
My last project using it was my
 Fields of Irises Flowering Snowball Quilt.
 

I was so happy when the fabulous people over
at Accuquilt invited me to join in their BOB Blog Hop! 

Do You know BOB?
BOB makes quilting so easy.
I chose to share the Rob Peter to Pay Paul BOB.

 

 

Rob Peter to Pay Paul is a Block on Board aka BOB -

 every shape needed to make the classic block

is included on two small  die boards.

It’s a easy, fast, and convenient to use this die!

And really,

how long would it take to cut all those

curved pieces by hand?
(I know I wouldn't even try without my BOB)

 

I was inspired by the inevitable

change in the weather.

The leaves will soon be

turning to the shades of Autumn.
 

 

No more will there be flowers blooming

from the summer containers.

 

 

 We will be seeing glowing wit hues of reds, oranges,

and yellows.

 

 

I decided to stray away for the

traditional look of

the Rob Peter to Pay Paul block and
make something a bit different.

The die is so versatile,

there is no problem changing

things up a bit.

 

I hand quilted the entire piece
with coordinating Aurifil 12 wt. thread.
 

 

This was my second curved

pieced quilt.

 I always enjoy a challenge,

but this Accuquilt die took the

trouble out of curves.

Meet BOB!

I'm going to let you in on a little SECRET...

I have been super busy working with

BOB!

 

Who is BOB? 

BOB stands for Block on Board. 

BOB die designs enable you to cut the pieces for an entire block with just one die

with your Accuquilt GO! Cutter.

 

How many Bob's are there?   

A total of 21 different AccuQuilt GO! BOB 

 Designs to choose from.

 

I am using the Rob Peter to Pay Paul Die.

Here is a little peek of what I have been working on

 

 

 

 

I can't wait to show you what I am

finishing up.

generous giveaway that you

I had such a time getting a nice picture.

An elephant kept photo

bombing the pictures.

 

 

 

I think he was jealous of the bear.

 

 



Pets on Quilts 2014

It's time again for the Pets on Quilts Show!

Each year Lily Pad Quilting hosts this fun virtual quilt show

and this is the first year that I have

entered in all the furry fun.

 

We adopted two kittens last

fall and they have been so much

fun and a great addition to

our family.  All of

our cats have just basically found their

way to our doorstep and well

the rest is history.  (As they say)

 

 

We can always find the kittens together.

 Snuggled up with each other.

They remind me of the book,

Where the Red Fern Grows. 

Where one is,

you can probably find the other.

At this very rare occasion,

the oldest cat was guarding

the babies on the Hexi quilt I finished last summer.



 

 

She pretends to be tough,

but we all know that

she really loves them too.

 



Go see all the other little furries

at the pet show.
