Introducing 2012 Block of the Month…Mimi’s Bloomers

Phew! Nothing like a speed appliqué job to make your fingers really sore!

Here it is, the center block for my 2012 BLOM, Mimi’s Bloomers. This BOM is going to run just like My Tweets did this year. There will be free patterns, one per month. If you want to make the large quilt I ask that you purchase the center block, Miss Mimi. At the end of the year there will be finishing directions for a quilt with the center block and a smaller one without the center block. The small patterns for this one are going to be 12” x 12” and the center block will be 26” x 26”. The blocks will be really fun floral sprays. I am, hopefully, going to be doing this in two color ways: the one shown and another in soothing blues, greens and yellows…more on this latter.

Miss Mimi, the center block, is up in the shop and the patterns will be shipping out later this week so everyone can put it on their Christmas and Holiday lists.

I hope you all join me for this…I am BEYOND excited!!!!

I've just recently found your blog and now check it faithfully. Love your patterns. Went right on to Etsy this morning and ordered Miss Mimi.

Thank you Erin for your sore fingers! ;) The center looks great, I can't wait to see the blocks that will go with it.

Erin, Miss Mimi looks fantastic, thank you so much for all your hard work, it's much appreciated! I participated in Florabunda and My Tweets, you can count on me for Miss Mimi for sure, I'm your fan. Hug from Holland, Anita.

Erin, I love your artistic vision! The design, layout and color choice are really beautiful. Just looking at your creation makes me smile. I am really looking forward to attempting your new block of the month designs. Do you have any fabric requirement suggestions? For example, if I find a yellow that I like for the tulips how much would I need to purchase? Do you think that a yard of fabric for each different element in the designs would be enough? (not including background and borders) Thank you for generously sharing your creativity and all your hard work!

It sounds very exciting for the next coming year. You always make the new year something to look forward to with your creative talents. I love sprays of flowers so for sure will get into this one. Thanks again.

[Lynette]

What a pretty design! I really love the secondary quatrefoil effect in the center. And I second Tracey - thank you for all the sharing of your wonderful talent!

[Kelli Hynes]

I third Tracey, I have bought Miss Mimi, but as I am in the land of Aus, it might not make it for Christmas. Never to mind, I will finish off My Tweets

[Penny]

I fourth Tracey, especially in her praise of your artist ability!

Hi Erin,

I LOVE your designs and wish that TQS had selected you to design the 2012 BOM. Maybe next year?? It's obvious that this year's TQS BOM was designed in particular to encourage members to buy products from TQS sponsors (i.e., Accuquilt, Bernina, Superior Threads, and Ricky's Stable Stuff). Unfortunately, the design, especially in the colorways provided, are not very appealing. I've been wanting to try your applique techniques, so maybe I'll make your BOM instead. Thanks for sharing your patterns and tutorials.

I always intended to do My Tweets (and still do) but never got to it because it will be new learning experience for me. Will you be giving as many helps and hints this time around? I am nervous but excited at the same time! I think I want to purchase the middle and make the larger one...that will be a good learning experience too.

[Carrie P.]

Wow! this is going to be another stunning quilt. Wish I could make one but I have a quilt I need to get done next year. I will be sure to follow along.
