I’ve had an idea! I’m elated, inflated and just a little bit twisted up with excitement ….
Situation normal then! As you know, I am not usually short of slightly twisted ideas and quilty enthusiasm. But I have had a hard time settling on a new BOM to replace the Beary Colourful Bears. There are so many possibilities, but nothing that quite grabbed me until now. The bears were so much fun and a hard act to follow.
So, I’ve been musing over this quandary for several months, with a mental list of criteria I wanted my 2019 BOM to satisfy. What to do? A BOM needs to be interesting all year. It needs to be relatively simple but not too repetitive. Probably most importantly, it needs to make me feel happy….. afterall, I am going to be running this sucker for ages and ages!
And I just wasn’t 110% happy with any of my ideas. Until ……. a quilt based on one of the simplest but funnest things of all time – balloon animals – burst into my head!
So, I am excited to announce the free BOM at Clever Chameleon Quilting this year will be “Love with a Twist”. A series of animal appliqués, shaped as if they were made of sculpting balloons. A party in your sewing room all year, with no risk of deflating or popping suddenly just when you least expect it. I hope you are grinning. I’m grinning. Like an eight year old who’s had too much cake and just scored the best balloon at the party.
