Happy Holidays to everyone. I've finished sewing all of my blocks, but did not get them packaged and to the post office. The last 7 will go out on the 26th.

Received a darling Tinkerbell block from OK Darla today. Will post a picture later. Thanks, I really love it!

I just finished the last 2 quilt blocks. Will try to get them in the mail on Wednesday. Happy Holidays everyone!!!

I sent off the last 2 blocks I made today. Still waiting for blocks from areinn, bibliostone, cuppy, Ok Darla and saraaev.

Here is the block I received. Isn't she adorable.

Blocks went out today to areinn, goldendog55, jahaper, ljdugas, Lv2sew2011, and saraaev. I only had 6 to mail, not 7. Everyone else should already have received theirs. Pictures are posted via the link below if you want to see what is coming.

I still have a few blocks that I am working on, but I'll be done soon.

I am still missing blocks from areinn, cuppy, OK darla, and saraaev.

Ok I know not all are in this group but I am posting all the extra side swap blocks going home today to each group.

UGH... been sick since Christmas day, Migraines... a very good indication I have been eating something I should not! So I went back on my healthy eating plan today, not waiting for New Years Day! There is nothing worse than a migraine that holds you captive for 4 days! not sewing, not even going in sewing room!

I have all my blocks out, most pictures are in my Album sent Boom 8 blocks, as well pic's of the ones I have received are in the received album.

missing blocks from Diamonds: savannahrandons, Linda58, Nancia, areinn. missing from Pearls; Mosher92, cuppy, saraaev, areinn. and side swap with April, thanks for letting me know it is on the way!... I am not in a hurry, just keep me posted and I will be happy! It's the not knowing that drives me crazy! (although I am almost always crazy anyway)


Happy new Year ladies~

This past week I have received blocks from bibliostone and OK Darla. Thanks ladies. They are great!

Well, almost got a Finished project done. Just need to quilt and bind and put together, just wanted to share the top. It has blocks for Boomerang 7, Wonky log cabin, and Fall leave swaps! and I think it came out very nice.
Happy New Year!!!

Hi everyone,
Well all of my side swap blocks are done and will be in the mail tomorrow. They would have gone out yesterday but I broke down on the way home from MD on Sunday and did not get my truck fixed until late yesterday afternoon and not home until about 7:30 pm. So sorry but please know they will all be out tomorrow and thank you all for swapping with me!

April

Some have received blocks, mailed out most of them on 1/30. Have a couple more to mail out tomorrow. cuppy

I received two blocks today. Thank You both LovingIzabella and Cuppy! I will update my album soon. That still leaves a few MIA. Don't get discouraged if you haven't finished. As Dorie said, "Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming...."

LOL, I was looking for the "like" button, spending too much time on facebook I think!Donna, I love the quilt top, it is so beautiful! and made by friends, that is the best!

Received a great block from cuppy today. Thanks.

Hello ladies,

I know I have been MIA but I am still working on ya'lls blocks. I have not just taken your fabric and run, although that has been insinuated in a couple pm's that I have gotten. I am very sorry but I have had quite a few serious family issues come up that were completely unexpected and unpreventable. I have also been sick for over a month with respiratory crap that just won't go away. I am now on my third round of antibiotics and that has actually been the easiest thing I have had to deal with in the past few months. Its just been one thing after another piling up on me.

I do have 8 or 9 blocks between this group and the diamond group that I will be sending out later today and I am off work for a couple days so I am gonna get these things caught up. I promise.

I know there were a few people I never even fabric sent out to and that will be going out today also. If ya'll want to still make blocks for me, that would be great. If you don't want to, please just let me know and I will mail out some stamps so you can send the fabric back.

Please know I never intended to be dragging along like this and I truly apologize. I have always been a shy person but these past months have made me even more withdrawn.

Areinn,
That should never have been insinuated in any PMs to you. That is not how we play here. Any issues should have been brought to me and those who did bring it to me were made aware that you had every intention of completing the swap you had just run in to some unexpected family issues. I apologize if anyone made you feel poorly.

Everyone Boom 9 is now open for signups :)

Thanks cuppy! I received my block today. Only a couple more needed. Hope to see you all in boom 9!

Hi All, I have received a few blocks and thank you so much they are lovely, now for those who still have a block coming from me, my attentions for mailing was going to be on the first however that didn't work out as it should. I've decided not to join the Boomerang 9 swap do to income, and that's the reason you haven't gotten your block back yet, it's done and ready to mail as soon as my husband has a little bit of cash left after paying our bills. I have applied for SSD and been turned down 3 times and I do have a lawyer now and he working on getting me approved. They don't mind taking your money but they sure don't want to give it back when you request it...LOL Any way I am so sorry for being so late sending them, my husband gets paid again on the 7th and he said there should be extra money then, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get to mail them out then. Again sorry! I think I bit off more than I could chew with the boomerand 8 swap, I should of just joined one group and not all three...LOL

I have sent out last three, maybe you have received. cuppy

I know I promised last week maiing your blocks.... BUT, in actuality they went out this morning and are winging their way acoss America, flying home to you. Thanks for swapping with me. I think that was my last block swap. I just can't sit long enough to sew without having terrible back spasms... When I finished the last one at 3 a.m. today, the rotary cutter jumped off the fabric and got my index finger. It really isn't bad, but hurt like heck and bled a lot. DH wasn't tooooo happy with me waking him at that hour for first aide.... opps. Thanks everyone for swapping with me. Sara

Received blocks from:

StitchingPost
Tam...Mooo
Lisa got your fabric...I will make you block when I'm feeling a little better....
