Welcome to all the newbies. You are in for a fun time
Kass you’re wibbley wobbley is awesome. in the winter I often wonder why any of us choose to live in Minnesota but summers usually make it so worthwhile. This summer has been absolutely weird. Friday we set a new feels like temp of 122 degrees, for you in the South that may not be high but it is extremely over the top for here. Next afternoon it was 40 degrees warmer. This morning I am wearing a fleece sweater with a quilt on my legs. Brrrr but would rather be chilly then roasting! |
Welcome to the new folks! I was new last boom, and while nervous at first, found the group to be welcoming and supportive! I learned a ton! I'm looking forward to my second boom with this talented group! I'll be working on getting my fabric off by Wednesday.
I'm excitedly preparing for a trip back east for a family reunion and quilting retreat with my daughter, Pam, who is also a boomer in this group (PamOry). We are going to MSQC in Missouri!! It is going to be a fun trip!! |
Welcome newbies! After this boom, you will be hooked! I will be mailing my package today. I've had it ready for 2 weeks anxiously waiting to mail. :)

Two weeks, klaws? You are ready! lol Can't wait to see your fabric in person.

I am afraid I am hooked before we even begin! I keep looking out at the mailbox to see if the mail carrier has been by yet. I know the package is in the mailbox right now since I was just out there and the flag is still up. I know that once it is picked up Janice McC will have it in 2 days. The return date for the fabrics to get to me is not soon enough. Kuddles to Janice McC for doing all the hard work of organizing this swap!
Klaws thanks for the warm welcome from this newbie. |
Gallery is up, btw. It's waiting for all your lovely blocks. One of Jaba's is in each group's photos already.
We've 4 newbies in this group so maybe it's a good time for everyone, new and vets, to give a brief intro. Nothing much, just a bit about yourself, perhaps including your quilting history. Anything will do. (I haven't asked this in a couple of swaps so it's overdue.) Thanks! |
I will get my blocks reposted here by this weekend. If anyone want extra blocks made I will be willing to help. Just pm me.

My flight from NY to San Diego via Baltimore was cancelled today. I got a flight (well three flights) tomorrow to go home. The heat index was 106 this past. weekend in NY. Well at least I get an extra day with mom.

Mjp- I'm not gonna' complain anymore about our miserable heat here in NC although the humidity is killing us. Tomorrow is promised to be in the low 80s. Even if it is just a couple of days relief, it's going to feel great. My F8s are on the way to Janice and I've already emailed her the tracking number. Now- to hunt up the perfect pattern for Jaba's striped fabric! |
I am married, we do not have children, and live in eastern Oklahoma, green country, the land of lakes, hills, and woodlands (not like the western side which is what people usually think of when they think of OK). I work as a paramedic on an ambulance (which partially explains my sometimes darker sense of humor). I started quilting in my late teens (low those many years ago) but didn't start seriously until my mid/late 20's. I love the designing part of quilting. I love working w/ stripes / or repeat designs. I'm not even in the same room as "the box" and am in witness protection hiding from the quilting police. (though I do follow boom rules). I love chocolate and Doctor Who as you can see from my signature information on the bottom of my posts, if I make a reference you don't "get" it is a pretty safe bet it is from DW.
