OK, I'm back, more or less! I feel like I missed so much in just two days.

First of all, welcome to our newbies! Currently, we have 4 newbies which makes me very happy. I love that we have new people as each of you brings something new to the group. Everyone else is a repeat Boomer, some very long term. You all are the backbone of the swap. I love seeing your posts and emails saying you want to rejoin. Ahhh. The beginning of next week, I'll post the list of names so far. But to update you, we have 17 people for the 3 month group and 6 for the 2 month group. I have one "maybe" for the 3 month.

I'm going to open up the gallery for the Boom 23 fabrics shortly. If anyone wants to look at the blocks from previous swaps, please do so soon. I'm going to close it down again for a while. It becomes a bit cumbersome to keep all the various pages open.

Reminder, when you post blocks/pix, please shrink your photos! 200 kb or smaller would be terrific. While it's not a problem for everyone, pages when they are picture heavy are difficult for some to load. Shrinking is a kindness for all so please take the extra time to do so, or adjust the camera to take smaller pix to begin with and save yourself the trouble. Thank you! Also, watch when quoting previous posts that you aren't reposting the same huge files. If they're large, you can quote but remove the pix.

Here's a tip that some may not know. If you want to reply to several posts, you can click the little icon on the far right bottom of all the posts you want to reply to and when you've selected them all, click "+Reply to Thread" and they'll all pop up in a single post.

IrishMom, I have this book. It's a good resource. I've not heard of the movie you mentioned but isn't that a intriguing plot!PamelaOry, I love this fabric! I'm off to update the database and do a little admin work. Have a lovely weekend everyone!
