Good afternoon, Boomers! As far as I'm concerned, the swap is essentially closed although the sign-ups will stay open until 11:59 pm EDT. I'm getting a head start. Anyone who has changed their minds about joining, please email me asap to let me know. Thanks.
The Gallery: Pix of fabric have been updated for Boom 17. I've been pulling pix as they've been posted and now they're in the gallery. Some of you have posted multiple fabrics so please go to the gallery,
link here, and check it out. Please reply here ONLY if there is a fabric posted that you are NOT using. If all is ok, no need to reply. Also, although I went through carefully, I may missed some. If that is the case, you can repost them here or give me the POST #, not the page #, of the pic and I'll go and grab it. Anyone who hasn't yet posted a fabric pic, (like me
) you have plenty of time. Whenever you are ready, show us a photo of your fabric and I'll add it to the gallery.
Re Doubling Up: This has caused confusion, totally my blunder, so I'm going to make it easy on you. First, Topaz, the 3 month group, does NOT double up at all. Opal, the 2 month group, MAY double-up if you wish. However, anyone wishing to double up should simply send NINETEEN F8s, regardless of the number of people signed up. I will trade your F8s out randomly with others who wish to double up. EVEN if everyone wishes to double up, you will still send NINETEEN F8s. Nobody will make more than 19 blocks for the swap. Anyone who wants more may arrange side swaps as previously posted. All F8s should be in individual baggies btw. Please do NOT put two in a single bag.
Tomorrow I'll post group lists and Tuesday I'll send everyone an email with my address. That is the point at which you can start shipping your F8s to me. Remember to put tracking on all packages and send me the tracking number and also include $6.80 for return shipping.
For newbies, once the group lists are posted and emails go out, I'll set up individual threads for Opal and Topaz and we will abandon this sign-up thread. You should post to your own thread in general but you are most welcome to comment, post encouragement and oooh and ahhhh over the other group's posts. If you are in both groups, this does mean you will have to post to two different threads.
OK, that's enough for now. The waiting is almost over and the fun part is about to begin.
