I'm fine with a second larger piece with the fat quarter. Janice, love the gallery! I have one more block made up for Traveling Gramma.
Yesterday I was stressing badly about the election, (we voted early) so I busied myself with setting up the pantograph kit onto my longarm. I look forward to trying my hand at that, especially on my scrappy quilts.
Last night I stayed up watching the results as they came in, with Alida as my little company. What a night!

[QUOTE=NZquilter;8665959]Ernie looks like a lovely gentleman! So good of you to want to give him a loving home for his last years. Wishing you luck!
Terriamn, that tumble really did some harm. Hugs!!! Hopefully after the dentist trip, it will all be behind you.
I got some sewing done this morning while watching the twins play and Alida was rocking herself in her bouncy seat. Everyday is a party for the twinsies! Their sibling dynamic is hilarious to watch! Anyway, here's my block for Ibex. Hopefully you like it.[/QUOTE ]
Great block for Ibex, this will fit in with the halloween theme perfect. I Love it.
This is a great picture of you both.
I am planning on joining the boom once again. This is my favorite time.
Passing out books is a fantastic idea. As a reader, I would have loved this.
Thank you for posting some photos, these quilts are fantastic. I love to see everybody's ideas of art.
Great blocks, MJP. I love the BBT block.
Thank you for my block. I love it. It will fit in perfectly
This pup will have a fantastic life now. He is precious. Keep us posted on his progress.

All ready ready for Boom 33! Atta girl! I’m thinking of doing two as well.
I got more info on Ernie. Seems he had the worst flea infestation his foster mom had ever seen and she works at a veterinary hospital. He was a stray. His skin is improving but it will be a process. And he was seriously underweight. Poor guy. And since he’s a stray, his age was estimated so nobody knows how old he is. Well, whatever his age, he’s going to have a better life with us (if we mesh) than he had for a long while. He’s going to be spoiled. I can hardly wait.
Here’s a pic of us in front of our casita in NM. The weather’s been gorgeous. Just waiting another 20 minutes for full darkness before we head outside to watch the skies.
Take care all.

“Double, double, toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble”…love the cauldron block, NZQ.
Wmuteach, we meet Ernie next week and hope to have him by the weekend. We’ll be home on Monday. Looks like we’ve got a cloudy day today. That’s ok since today’s plans are simply to relax and enjoy the area.
Anyone else thinking of joining Boom 33? It’ll probably be posted mid-late January. I’ll keep you all apprised here.
Reminder, finished blocks must be in my hands on the 22nd of this month. That’s just less than 3 weeks away. You can probably ship as early as Saturday since it’ll take a few days to reach me.
Hope you all enjoyed Halloween. Did anyone have any fun trick or treaters this year?
Have a good day.

Great blocks Reba! Thanks for the travel photos, I’m living vicariously through you!
Here’s a picture of the kids trick or treating at our house and getting books instead of candy. It doesn’t show but I put up the Day of the Dead wall hangings and used the table runner from a previous Boom.
Unfortunately I’ve come down with walking pneumonia. Modern meds are wonderful and I feel much better today. I have a doc coming to the house and checking on my heart soon. Yep docs still make house calls here. The silver lining is I’ll have a lot of down time and will be finishing up the blocks this week!

The rest of the blocks are Hovering Hawk Blocks. I’m getting really good at those!
These are for: Two for Have4, Janice, Lstew, . I made extra blocks for Janice and Have4 as after I made the first block, I realized my blocks didn’t follow the directions as well as they could.
I’m happy I was able to get these done with time to spare. Making the same block a few times really helps! I’m a slow block maker. The applique always takes a long time and I’m a slow piecer too. Things with points, I many times baste first, to make sure I don’t cut off the points and the corners align. Someday I’ll be able to whip out these blocks like most of you do!
These are small less than 300K files too.
Janice can we mail these now or would you prefer we wait?

Thank you NZ for that perfect block. Racing day!!
NZ I am in awe of you. You are a natural mom- what a great gift. Your children will know love. They will also see you taking time to enjoy yourself. Glad you will be returning

THAT would be for the 2nd piece of fabric. More than is usually sent. It would be better for piecing also. We would still get the main fabric 10x18 fabric.
I can see 13x13 if appliqué, but that is less fabric to use if piecing.
I was thinking of sending a larger piece of ombré next time to be used with just white. That would give everyone more fabric to work with. I didn’t think about how much larger the bag would be.

Great racing stars, NZ! Glad Alida kept you company waiting for the election results. I went to bed around midnight, thinking it was going to be into the next day before we knew who won (or longer). Was happy to find out it was decided when I got up this morning. So glad it's over!
Janice, Ernie is so cute. And what an adorable size! I hope his personality suits you.

I am loving all the blocks. Janice welcome home and thank you for the gallery! MJP, very nice hovering hawks and of course the BBT is great. Everyone is making such interesting blocks!! I better post a few of mine. I will not be doing the next boom. Life is still way to chaotic in my part of the world to carve out quilting time.
Went to an election party for the first time. I had no doubts as to the election result. I was surprised, however, to see all three -- house, senate, president's office, -- turn one party. No checks and balances for the next 4 years. I don't remember the last time that happened.
Hugs to all. Continue to share your love no matter what! Quilting does soothe the raging within so the love can show!

Good morning. Ernie had a perfect first night. Apparently, besides his other issues, he’s deaf. Roflol. What have we gotten ourselves into? He’s a love though and doesn’t hesitate to let his wishes be known. He’ll fit well with us as we’re so enthused to have someone else to dote on.
Ibex I believe during Joe Biden’s first two years in office, there was a unified government.
Packages are rolling in and more are on the way. I’ll post a list later today.
I’m off to PT. Have a good day all.

Janice our beloved Rio was deaf the last 3 or 4 years of her life. The only time it was an issue was when she put her ears back and took off running like she was a young pup. It was a real chore trying to catch her. Hopefully Ernie is better behaved. I am so happy for you.
I am working on a fall table runner for my sister. Cut out enough pieces to make me one also but not sure I want to make two of them now. Rather boring.
