TheMamahauser's cards are wonderful, esp how they are personalized for each swapper.

For $10, you can get 250 cards (maybe more, it's been a while now). I make sure that the handwritten info is facing outward when I package everything up.

Good morning QA, like Joan said, you'll send all your pre-washed and sealed up F8s to me in a single package. how many will depend upon the size of the group you are in. As i plan to keep sign-ups open for a couple of more weeks, we won't know group size for a while yet so hang onto them until i post groups and send my mailing address. And don't hesitate to come here and ask questions. Questions always help the other newbies and most of the repeat Boomers can answer your questions just as easily (and often before) I can.

Thanks,
Thanks,

Don't know how many of you are still on the fast boom 12 thread, but just finished putting your blocks together and the quilt is ready for the quilting table. For the new ones to the booms thought you might like to see a pic of the blocks I received and the quilt I put together with them. Not the best pic but think you can get the idea of what you can come up with. [ATTACH=CONFIG]475825[/ATTACH]Sorry one of my ironing tables is in the way but you can see most of it.

Good evening Boomers! Just a bit of a status update here. We've got 20 signed up so far and one 'iffy'. The group requests are spread all over the spectrum so we'll see how the next couple of weeks go. Remember to tell you quilting buddies about the swap and bring them over to the Boom side!
As Jaba reminded me in the post below, be sure to check out the previous swap threads. Both the Slow & Easy and the Short & Sweet threads have occasional posts so check them out. Buslady recently posted all of her blocks for Boom 11 on Slow & Easy.
I'm going to be offline for most of the weekend so if anyone signs up or emails me, you may not get an immediate response, but I WILL get to you! Thanks and have a terrific weekend. i hope the weather is lovely where you are - except if you are in SoCal, all of CA really, I'll be wishing for rain for you.

Also in reading the directions it says I should use removable labels on my baggies is there a particular label you use? Or way you do it that works for you?
Thanks for the hints
