A Christmas Wish – free BOM

At the risk of overloading blog land with a free Bom, here is mine. I have been working on it for a couple of months now and had good intentions of posting on the 1st of Jan, however…other things got in the way.

It is 9 months long and on the 7th day of each month I will post a free pattern for you to stitch. (well hopefully on the 7th!!! it will be around then anyway!!) so maybe by the end of September you will be almost ready with a new quilt for Christmas!!! I haven't quite worked out the final layout yet but I have a few ideas to play with. Each block will end up 8" finished and each block will have a 5 1/2" square (cut) as the centre. (just in case you would like all centres to be the same fabric)

If you would like this pattern click Download Block 1 love . I am working on a little icon at the moment (actually waiting for Jarrod to get home from work to help) and hopefully you will see it in my sidebar soon!!!

Feel free to spread the word…..(it really isn't too early to think about Christmas is it?)

Oh…and just a sneak peek at the quilt I have sent off to Country Threads

Bye for now

  3. The BOM looks great, can’t wait to see more. I’ll definately be adding this to my “to do” list. Never to early to think of Christmas as it always seems to arrive before you are prepared for it. Thanks for the BOM

  7. Can’t wait to get started. I might have to do one for my little sis too and surprise her at the end. D. :=)

  8. Oh, this is lovely Gail. One can never have too many Christmas quilts.I have mentioned it in my lastest post. The sneak peek looks lovely too.

  12. All ways room for another BOM. A couple of mine (not free ones though) are coming to an end so am looking to start collecting another one or two. Mind you I am not up to date on any of them so I really shouldn’t be starting another one but I will anyway.

  13. Your BOM looks wonderfull, thanks for your work and I’ll collect them all. Can’t wait to see the whole quilt you’ve made!

  15. What a generous person you are for the BOM. Thinking of Christmas, no way haven’t got over the last one yet.

  43. Oh Gail You are so kind to do this. So exciting too to look in each month and find a lovley little work of art to begin on. Wont it be interesting in Sept to ” see” how everyone interprets the design and all the different fabrics they use.

  56. Dear Gail,
    I finished the first block. You will find a picture at my blog. I linked your BOM at my blog. Hope it is OK.
    Greetings Anett

  62. Thank you so much for the free BOM. I agree you can never have too many Christmas quilts. I love the first block.

  63. Thanks for the BOM Gail – it is very generous of you! One question – will I need the same fabric that I use for the border for later in the quilt? Or can I use scraps to make the quilt? Always looking for an oppurtunity to reduce the stash!

  64. Hi Gail, Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I’ve mentioned it on my blog. I’m wondering if we are able to use the picture on your sidebar on our blogs or do you have another icon in mind for us to use on our blogs? Thanks

  71. Hello Gail, thank you for this lovely block, I like it. I’ve just to finish it and it’s so cut. Thanks a lot.
    zaza.

  73. I really like embroidery so this will be nice to combine that and quilting. Thank you for being so nice to give us a free BOM.

  74. Thanks Gail, for the free BOM. I’ve finished my first block and eagerly awaiting the second. Your design for Country Threads looks gorgeous too, can’t wait to see the whole thing.

  75. thank you Gail for this gorgeous free BOM it’s very generous of you I will be joining in too but certainly won’t be as quick as some!!!!

  76. Hi Gail,
    I am setting myself a goal this year to have something finished for Christmas early and not the day before so am looking forward to doing your beautiful BOM.
    Thank you so much for sharing and for your generosity.

  85. The BOM looks great, cant wait to see more. Ill definately be adding this to my to do list. Never to early to think of Christmas as it always seems to arrive before you are prepared for it. Thanks for the BOM
