I've received 8 packages of F8s already. Woo hoo! I haven't had a chance to open them yet but I've contacted everyone and all packages were undamaged.
Suzisew, omgosh, you had me roflol about the elephant trunk! Thank you for sharing that one. I've never managed to sew my finger but only last month I came the closest to it. The needle just grazed my finger without breaking the skin. A happy oops since it was a painless reminder to be more careful.

I was sewing the side and arm sleeves but I got them mixed up. When I tried it on it looked like I had a trunk coming out of my back and my chest! Live and learn right?!
Wow! Engage...

Luckily my husband took it to a laundromat and washed it before I gave it away. It completely disintegrated! He felt so bad, but I was glad it happened then instead of later. I took a class and made a king-size log cabin quilt which we still use after 40 years. Didn't sew for many years because of work and raising 2 kids (one boy and one girl) Neither of them has married and I'm not expecting grandchildren any time soon. I started quilting again about 10 years ago.
Here is the fabric I am sending. Eleven of you will get the Indian basket fabric and the rest will get odds and ends to make blocks to finish up previous booms. So, if you have been in the booms for awhile, you might get a repeat fabric.
Have a lovely day everyone. It's almost the weekend!
