Trying out how to post photos in the post
Hi all, I知 trying out how to post photos and also splitting my fabrics since we are a small group. First I知 trying to add the link to the photo of the Halloween fabric package. I値l post and keep fingers crossed.
https://www.quiltingboard.com/album....ctureid=623934 We shall see if it works, if not, then I値l try the imgBB. Thanks for your patience with me! |
|
Such great fabrics Rebaquilts! This will be a great quilt.
|
HA! It worked the second time! I知 sending 11 little packages of the Halloween fabric and 8 packages of this background in 12.5 width. I値l be using it with the Jill Howarth Little women panel for Riley Blake. I cut off the squares on the top and bottom of the panel and sent those with, use if you want to, if not, no worries at all, I figured it would help with the colors. Hugs!

The second batch is lovely as well. I need to retire so I can piece more! In the meantime, lurk I will. This should be a really fun fall BOOM for both Pumpkins and Holly.
|
I’m confused 🫤. We send 19 fat 1/8ths. There are only 8 people in the group. My math isn’t working. Do I make 2or3 for each person? Or 1? Whatever is fine, just curious. Maybe I get 19 pkgs. Hmmmmm.🤔
|
We still send out 19 and we will have about 2 for each of us, some of us 3. I thought rather than the fabrics being identical, I would split it up between two projects and since there were 8 blocks on the Little women panel, that meant 8 packages of Little women, 11 of the Halloween <3
|
Pet, you will get back 19 packages of F8s, just like you send in. Some will be duplicates. Don't worry... it will work.
|
A word about duplicates: When they are done, they shouldn't be identical blocks. Make them different patterns! It would also be helpful if you could use different coordinate fabrics for each of the duplicates. In the final quilt, they should look like two different people may have made them.
|
Reba, your fabrics are great! They will be fun to work with. Thank you for sending two different fabrics, to make it easier to split up duplicates.
|
Package goes out tomorrow, and I did my first two blocks, motivated :-)

Pretty fabric, Terri! Lots of sunflowers this time around....
So exciting to be getting more packages today, and more tracking notices that others are on their way. Remember, if I get them all early, I will disburse them early. Weather is turning cooler here. Finally! |
Pkg in mail.
|
Thank you, Pet. I got your tracking # and will watch for your package.

Here is my fabric for Pumpkins.
|
Pretty! Love those colors, Hav! I will add it to the picture gallery.
|
I am excited to get started in the BOOM. Right now we are with my mom for the last few days of her life. She has Stage IV invasive breast cancer that has revenged her body. It has metastasized her brain and lungs. She is completely pain free and has been the last 1.5 years. It is amazing. She is tired and has stopped all treatment. It will be nice to have the BOOM to focus on once she has passed.
Love seeing everyone's fabrics. |
Hi Everyone,
I have set up an acct at imgbb for our Boom Swap pictures. It's not quite as cool as our Weebly gallery, but it's better than the pictures in the social groups here. You can see the pics better and you will each have your own gallery for each group you are in. Much better. So take a look and give me some feedback like whether you were able to get in and see everything, etc. When you see your album, click on it to see all the pics. Right now there are only fabric pics, plus the few blocks that have been posted. Take a look and tell me what you think. https://sewbizgirl.imgbb.com/albums |

In our new picture site, the pics are showing up blurry. Maybe don't make them quite so small when you post them here.
|
H4B. Love your fabric, what can be better then florals and purple flowers !
So sorry about your mother, sending hugs. |
Quick fyi for the Pumpkins...Weebly remains open to anyone who wants to look back to when we started posting pix. You can find the URL in my signature below. Check it out for ideas!

Thank you, Janice! It's great to see the old Boom blocks. They are awesome.

Playing around with my Christmas fabric and the disappearing 4 patch block. I was able to post a block bigger, thanks Logcabin82 for the tip |
So Christmassy and pretty, Lstew! Looks like a present, all wrapped up for the day.
It's come to my attention that when you click on the link to Imgbb, you get images rather than albums. In the upper right corner there is a link to albums. |
Great news~ our last package has arrived! I'll be swapping and mailing Pumpkin's packages as soon as I get home (Monday evening).
