Sign-ups will remain open through Wednesday, July 17. If there is anyone sitting on the fence about the Swap, please get your name in!

Reminder, I do not accept people to the swap who have a track record of tardiness or non-completion of this or any other swap on the QB. My deadlines are firm and are not suggestions. If I've previously declined your application to join, please don't ask again. Thank you.

As always, if you spot a mistake or your name is missing from the lists, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll fix it asap. Thank you!

Am home from my short but wonderful visit with DS and Future DIL. Oh, boy, do I love Asheville! DH and I walked miles and miles <3 there were so many things to do and see. We'll be going fairly often I imagine. But right now, it's almost boom time and today is blood donation day, clean the house day, shopping day and generally get ready for my friend's visit. Sheesh. Back to the Booms...

mjpEncinitas, please email me with exactly what you want. I'm now confused...

Love the song and like GramE, I can hear it in my head! Great, today's earworm!

Macybaby, the 3 month is full but if a spot opens up, I'll check with you to see if you are still interested. You can be the first on the waiting list.

Love your beautiful fabrics!

Janice, I didn't sign up for the 3 month group, but if you are short I'll gladly fill in (In addition to the 2 month group). I did not want to take up a spot from someone that could only do the 3 month group.

For the two month group, I plan on sending out 19 different tonal solids - with instructions to use prints and no neutrals ( no whites, creams, greys or blacks). I have no problem getting duplicates, I like to make all different blocks anyway.

Marija, I've got you on the list for the 3 month but please check for my latest email. Welcome back!

For this fabric please use solids or blender colors that are in the print. No other prints, it's busy enough

So glad to have you join us again, Mona G.

I have the most tedious part of Pamela's block finished, and nearly all of what I can get done until we exchange fabric and while I'm not going to give away the look of the completed part I have done, I will post a teaser pic!!!! lol lol lol (read that as a maniacal lol)

Macybaby, is there any way you would consider the 2 month group? You could still get 19 blocks back. I usually have my 2 and 3 month groups done by the time it's time to mail the 2 month's back. Just something to think about. I would love your pretty blocks to be included this Boom.

Wow, Kass! Crabclaw?? Okay, how far off am I? LOL
