I mailed out ArizonaKat's and Quiltaddiction's blocks today. Pictures in my album if you want to peak

Mailing deadline is November 10th

I have not received a F8 from atpegsquiltstudio. If I receive it I will make a block, it just will not be mailed out on time.

Hello everyone,
Yes I know I have been MIA Thank you Melinda for trying to help anyone who needed it and thanks for the updates to the groups.
I ended up with a massive infection in my shunt which almost caused me to loose my eyesight in my right eye. I was taken by ambulance to my local ER on October 5 and then transported out to my neurosurgeon in CT. I spent a week in ICU on very high dose antibiotics. They removed my old VP shunt on a Wednesday once I had been on the antibiotics for 3 days and then put a new one in on Friday with anti-microbial tubing so hopefully this does not happen again. I just returned to work on the 24th. I have some pain still from the tubing as it is larger than the normal tubing and it takes some getting used to Thankfully though my neurosurgeon saved my eyesight by putting in an LP drain bedside and draining the infected CSF and relieving the increased pressure on my optic nerves. I am headache free now and I can see. My right eye is still a little weak but it is getting there
Due to some rows I am unable to locate from a row robin I was in (I put them up for Hurricane Sandy and then had 5 brain surgeries so I can't get through all of the containers ) I have been informed I am no longer allowed to host swaps so sadly this will be the last Boomerang swap unless someone wants to host it until I am able to find the rows and get them home to their rightful owner (which I will do ). If anyone wants to please let me know, I hate to see this swap end because of my shortfalls.
Also please remember deadline is coming up soon, hopefully you are all almost done and happy
Huge Hugs
April

April, Im so sorry to hear about your medical problems lately. I HATE to hear that you cant do the swap anymore! I know its a LOT of work and headache but you were so darn good at organizing it!! I wouldnt have any idea how to host the swap but if someone wants to volunteer I will help with the spread sheet if they need help typing it. PLEASE find your blocks quickly so you can get back to joining in the swap!! This is number 7 or 8 for me and it really brings enjoyment to me to see what others create and send back! DO NOT drop out of the picture April, keep in touch thru the board please!!!

Hi everyone, I know that I am behind on my blocks and will be sewing up a storm this weekend to catch up. Thank you to everyone who has sent theirs to me so far. My quilt will be beautiful. Will send updates on what is done over the weekend and who I still need to send. April - glad to hear that you are feeling better, but sorry you had to go through all those medical difficulties. I am not organized enough to take over, but if someone needs help I would be glad to give a hand. Please let me know. This is my first swap and am enjoying it very much. Would hate to see it end. Happy Halloween!!

April, I am so sorry to hear of your difficulties. This has been my first boomerang swap and I have enjoyed it so much! I used to hostess swaps when aol had a quilt board but that was years ago and I just don't think I can do it anymore. Spread sheet? I had a tablet where I wrote everyone's name, address and such. Every thing was sent to me then I swapped them out. Hopefully it won't be too long and you will be able to host again.
I think the first thing on your agenda is to get well. Before you know it all this will be behind you and you can hostess again if that is what you want to do.

Thought I'd show all of you what I have decided to do with the little scraps of fabric left over from your blocks. I have them from the last 3 booms, so will be making a few of these. Haven't decided on the inner circle yet, just been putting the dresdans together. Your little pieces are being used and will be a nice memory.

I know that we still a have few days left in this swap - I am not trying to be pushy ... my records show I'm still missing blocks from: AnneMixon, atpegsquiltstudio, cuppy (the post I saw #320 said blocks were being sent the week of Oct. 14-21, I think), and oldcatlady. So I'm wondering if I have messed up on my records. Does anyone have updates? Thanks so much!

joanelizbay

No updates that I know of. Im still missing 5 and only a week to go before mailing deadline? I don't think its being pushy...just reasonable to expect updates The fast group went so smooth....the slow group has the most still remaining unreceived in all the swaps Ive been in...must have been a busy summer!
