Okay, I have a question... It seems I should be sending you $14.40 for shipping. Do you not need $$ to ship the fabric to each person and $7.20 to return the final blocks to me? Please let me know if I am mistaken.

Hav4boys- This is how I do my shipping funds to Janice. I enclose cash in a business envelope, hidden inside my gallon bag, with her name written on it. This is how I figure my shipping cost- I'm in both groups and I'm too impatient to wait until the Autumn group is finished too, so I sent this amount to cover everything-
F8s returned to me (both groups together)- $7.20
Summer group finished blocks to me- $7.20
Autumn group finished blocks to me- $7.20
____
Total cash funds sent to Janice (covers all shipping back to me) $21.60
I usually have both groups finished by the first group's deadline, so my only other cost is to send the finished blocks to Janice, together in one package. Hope this helps you out. Of course, if you're in both groups, you can ship the finished blocks back for each group when they're actually due.

Other than that I am mostly a charity quilter. I belong to a great group nearby that makes quilts for hospital patients and shelter kids, as a hug and cheer up gift. It's so rewarding. My blocks from the Summer and Autumn groups this time will go to make 4 beautiful lap quilts to brighten up 4 lives.
In my other life I am a fitness instructor, specializing in working with older adults. I teach Silver Sneaker classes (all formats), and also yoga and water aerobics. Yoga and my seniors are my passion.
This summer I've been trying to deal with an increasing problem with sciatica by getting spinal injections. I'm hoping they will heal my spinal nerves and discs.
Looking forward to playing with some new Boomers in the mix, and also my old friends. Bonnie

Welcome to all our new Boomers. I've been doing the Booms since Boom 10. LOVE every single one of them! I've been a little slow this spring, getting over some surgery. I have decided that I WILL feel better and get on with life.
I head up a charity program with our church making pillowcase dresses for our mission trips to South America. My dear friend heads up the pattern-made dresses. This is our third year doing this and we love participating in it. My ECA Club also makes breast cancer pillows for our local hospital, along with chemo caps for patients.
I have 4 great-grandchildren and 6 grandchildren, along with 2 daughters and 1 son. They are my everything. I make my quilts for them. I'm about to gain a granddaughter-in-law, so one of these quilts will be for her.
My advice to the new Boomers- Just relax, ask any question at all and have fun. Oh, and we love chatting and pictures of what you're making !

My package was mailed today! Yippee.... Can hardly wait to start. I have an earworm during this time of every Boom swap... It's The Waiting by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. And it makes the waiting harder!
