Sparkler BOM Member Makes + Ghouls

Title banner for blog post that reads Member Makes, TA DA Moments, September 2022, Sparkler modern triangle BOM

Sparkler BOM member makes and the Spooky Summer Quilt Along-ers are nearing the finish line. That means more ta-da moments! And so far, it looks like no “boos” allowed in this spooky show and tell.

Just the cutest “ghouls” around this town.

Sparkler BOM members are making progress in September on all of the BOM blocks. Whether a member is on Month 3 (Yay, Kathy M.!), trying out a Twirly Star freezer paper-pieced block #47 (a free class here) double-timing with Boos and Ghouls triangle blocks, progress is soooo possible.

MORE MEMBER MAKES = ME MORE GIDDY!

By this time in a Make Modern Triangles BOM, I’m feeling the same way I did when I designed the Sparkler last year: giddy!

More quilts, more blocks, more progress and more tada moments!

Even though we’re focused on making the Sparkler BOM in 2022, finished quilts from Bryan House Quilts patterns pop up every month – like Ann U.’s Wildflower that recently won the Viewer’s Choice award at the Gems of the Prairie Quilt Guild. Congratulations, Ann!

SEPTEMBER’s SEW STORM

Many members have been sewing nose-to-needle in August and September – Jakki C., Teresa B., Carolyn B. and Kathy M. and many others posted their progress in the Triangle Chatter Facebook group,

aaaand….Spooky Summer Quilt Along is at Week 11 (already!?) with two to go. Some MMT members need more triangly fun so they are making a Boos & Ghouls quilt, too. QAL’s are a great way to practice freezer paper piecing with modern triangles.

Kathy M. posted: “My recent work – Block 21 and Block 5 and 6. I have completed 56 four-inch blocks. I will have to wait until I return in early October before trying layouts – more grandchildren time is on the schedule!”

SPARKLER BOM MEMBER MAKES

The block sets are forming and design walls are filling up fast in September. The blocks appear even more colorful because they are next to their colorful neighbors – they’re all better together! Take a look at these beauties…

Sparkler BOM member Kathy C. finished a block set of four triangles blocks in yellow, gold, magenta and blue fabrics.
Sparkler BOM member Gayle K. finished a block set of teal and gold modern triangle blocks.

Oh! That suh-weeeeet feeling when you color in a finished block set. Right, Kristina?!

DONE. Check!
Barb M. finished a block set of teal, gray and cream modern triangle blocks for the Sparkler quilt pattern.

This is the Block-ness Monster of quilt photos: “She made how many blocks? I have to see it to believe it!”

MMT member Julia W. finished the center medallion of the Sparkler quilt.

Sandy Q.‘s complementary color scheme is brilliant – look at how the yellows and golds twinkle!

Thank you to all our members for sharing your modern triangle progress and ta-da moments!

If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s If my WIP pile was getting out of control… here’s exactly what I’d do: ⬇️

👉 Find a community of quilters to connect with, learn from, and grow with. People who cheer you on, celebrate your blocks, and make you want to keep going!!! 

👉 Make it easier on yourself with freezer paper piecing. This technique completely changed my life. I wanted to give up on quilting altogether at one point before I found freezer paper piecing. 

It’s not that you don’t finish quilts…

It’s that you don’t have the right support or the right process yet. 🧵✨ Comment ‘FREE’ to take my free class, learn the freezer paper piecing technique, and get invited to join an amazing community. 💕

One thing that will NEVER get old with freezer paper piecing... ⬇️

The number of blocks I can sew from just ONE foundation! 🙌

It always amazes me, and it’s one of my favorite things about the technique. 

I save so much time not having to make a new foundation for every single block, and that’s not to mention the time saved from not having to rip the paper bits of those foundations out of the seams. ✨

I’m hosting a free class where I teach you this technique, and give you a modern triangle block pattern to start sewing!

There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting wor There’s so much pressure on us in the quilting world to finish what we started. 👇

But if you’re stuck staring at a stack of unfinished blocks, and it’s keeping you out of the sewing room because it’s the last thing you want to sew right now, this is the advice that I would give you. 

It’s okay to put a project down for a while. 🫶

I’ve had projects and quilts that sat folded up for weeks… months… even longer. Projects I avoided because I got stuck, or lost momentum, or honestly just wasn’t in the mood to sew that anymore. AND IT’S OKAY! 🙌

Every single time I came back to them after putting them down for a while, I felt that spark for sewing again. I felt the inspiration that I started the project with, and I started ENJOYING it again. ✨

So if you have something that you’re avoiding sewing, let this be your permission slip to just put it down and know that you’ll come back to it when the time is right. 

Put your favorite emoji in the comments if you needed to hear this. 💕
