thank you. I began hand sewing 2 years ago out of necessity being stuck off my feet a lot. I've come a long way & it is hard not to have a project to be working on but I'm trying to clear up some so my guilt pile won't be so large. I'm good at starting projects then seeing something else pretty & hopping on to it! That is why I loved my first Boomerangswap. One and done! Move on to the next pretty. Perfect for the ADD in me!

I would have said that myself before I decided to jump in with both feet and discipline myself to at least try to learn to hand sew. But I'm also using that program that prints the cutting & stitching lines right onto the fabric!

GramE I would love to hand sew like that. But sewing on the machine is fast,i like fast.

There are a few fabrics in this boom I am eyeing to hand sew too, but won't know for sure until I get them in my hands to see the actual size of the print and placement.

But I have to say Moonwork's block has me most excited, my fingers (not hand sewing fingers though) are itching to get the fabric to complete that one! I finished step 2 on that one and it turned out even better then step one, but no more "spoilers" until the big reveal!!! lol lol lol

I'm back. Grands when back yesterday and house is somewhat back to normal. F8's on their way. Loving the fabric so far and have ideas on most of them. Moons will all depend on what color I get. I NEVER hand sewed before the last Boom. Then GramE got me on to it, inherited a Grandmothers Garden Hexie blocks and have been doing a little at a time and loving it. Arthritis hands don't - but oh well.
Waiting for three more weeks will surely drive us all a bit battier than usual so should be interesting.
Does everyone have their fabric picked out???
