Thread: Boomerang 5.0-SOUTH Group

Hello, fellow Southies.

This is my first Boomerang swap, although I have been quilting for many years. I am very excited.

I am in Chicago for a conference the next three days - but should have everything mailed out on Monday next week.

I am sending out scrappy brights so have fun and be as creative as you wish to be. All I ask is you make it as bright and as loud as you can.

Here are the fabrics I am sending out.

PS The picture is not the best as it was taken with my blackberry and I have yet to figure out how to use it right lolol

I am putting a little note in with mine but thank you for asking :-) I would prefer to stay away from anything dark. I want this one to pop and be bright and vibrant :-)

Enjoy your conference-I love going to those :-) I have one in August and then one in September :-)
I sure hope you enjoy the swap too. We have a lot of fun with it.

Hi, everyone!

April, I received the email with the list. Thanks :)

MY fabrics are washed and cut. I just need to fold them up and mail. I hope to have that done by the weekend as my next few days are a little busy! lol

I will gladly mail you some if you would like just let me know. I can also try to make up the template to email you but not sure how that will work.

Now that will be a cheery quilt!

That is a beautiful fabric. I may put those roses in a basket for you.

I just worked on figuring that out this morning. Whew. I cut out everything from the addy list and just had the name, address, city, country.

If you use the HELP in Excel and type in 'mailing addresses' that will bring up a link to 'create in word mailing addresses'.

I had to read through it four times and make sure all the fields were working as intended, but finally after some trial and error, it popped up all the addresses on the label sheet so I could print it out.

Fellow Quilters, the following southerners squishies went out today:
bolin0909
craft phanatic
DonnaD
Jennifer22206
OK Darla
paintmejudy
The rest I hope to mail out tomorrow!!!

Here are the red and white fabrics I am sending.
