Thank you for the lovely compliments about the glass. I've wanted to learn how to do this for most of my life, not that one class is anywhere near actually learning how but who knows if it will lead to something new. I might try a bowl next!
Love your fussy cut block, Givio.
MJP, am looking forward to seeing your fabrics. This will be a tough one for me so I'm putting my thinking cap on already. The block you made is beautiful!
Brrrr, Joanelizbay. That's a lot of snow!
Yes, I anticipate you'll be able to mail before the rates jump up on 1/27 to $8 but everyone needs to be sure to mail me the new amount. Please wait for me to close the sign-ups and give you the ok before you ship. It's going to get a bit crazy around here as when your pkgs start coming in, I'm going to have workers in the house for a week. Everyone should definitely make sure they email me with tracking numbers as soon as you get them. Please do not just ship without alerting me! I plan to be standing at the mailbox as each and every one comes in.
Hav4boys as jumped into the 2 month group as well as being in the 3. That makes 11 people. Yay! Is there anyone else in the 3 month who wishes to add the 2 month? Or does anyone want to switch from the 3 to the 2? We've got one person on the waiting list for the 3 and she's already in the 2. Let me know. Changes at this point are perfectly ok. It's not so easy once I shut down the sign-ups.

I don’t piece that often so this was a stretch for me. I usually design my own blocks but it was fun putting these two designers together. And the block got me motivated to quilt again. I think the glass of wine I had before I started helped. Im looking forward to the boom.

mjp, the star almost seems to be made of a different fabric than the border! The border has a nice continuous red line going in it that looks great, even around the corner. I'll bet it looks better in person. Wonderful work!

I'd like to join the 2-month group. Since I'm new to the BOOM, I'll make simple blocks in order to make the deadline. I've been in birthday swaps (2.5" candies) and Spring Churn Dash swap, with all positive feedback.
If Janice accepts me, I'll find fabric I'd like to send out. This sounds like fun!
