I am not sure where it went at this point but I will make another one and send it along with Miss Aby's surprise :-)

April, please don't put anymore on your plate than is already there. I'm in no hurry and who knows maybe it will still come.

Recieved a block from Nurse Bonnie today!!

Received wonderful block from Lillie :)

I received a cute block from Lillie today! Thank you so much!

I am not only missing blocks from Qbee and JudyG. No stress, whenever you can is fine. I know that life is happening. :)

Received a great block from Lillie today. Thank you. Only one more to go. Still waiting from Qbee.

Qbee, sorry to hear that you've been in the hospital. I hope you are well on the way to recovery now. Please don't worry about making my block. If you want to you can just send the fabric back to me, or keep it. Take care!

received a beautiful butterfly block from Lillie, thank yo sew much :lol:

I went through my stash and I have scraps left over from your fabric,and I have your customs declaration that I mailed your block on March 18 th,I don't think I took a picture,I will try and look tonight on the computer if I have a picture,I don't think I do.Would you like me to try and make another with what I have left?

Received a beautiful block from Lillie today. Thanks so much!

just curious...this swap ended on April 15th..now it more than a month later and people are still looking for their blocks..is this normal?

is the other boomerang group having these difficulties?

I am setting my blocks this weekend..any missing blocks at this point will just be left out..I have to book dates with my LAQer and there is NO leeway so it has to be at her studio on time..

hopefully the Sept swap will go better as I have an Oct 15th date with the quilter for that one as it is going to be a Christmas present!

My fabrics are going out on Friday..if not on Thurs...depends on how long the drive to TX is tomorrow!

Each of the Boomerangs I've been in there have been a few late blocks and a couple who didn't send at all-usually a few people send 2, it makes up the diffence, sometimes. Quite often with sashing you don't necessarily need all 35-mixing with plan blocks may expand the needed blocks if you find yourself in a time crunch. I know we all try to get the blocks in on time but sometimes life gets in the way of our good intentions.

I agree,I understand and I am so happy with the ones I have I am okay with what ever I get back

All I can say is that as with every swap there are people who are early, those who are right on time, those who do not fulfill their commitment, their are people who have life issues and then there are people who are just a week or so late. Sadly it is something that happens no matter which swap it is you just see it more pronounced in this one since it is a direct mail swap.
One of the rules in the new swap was three weeks to mail F8s...that three weeks is up but you are mailing yours on Friday I am sure because life has been "in your way" No one is pressuring you to mail but this is just a prime example of what happens to each and every one of us. We all want to be perfect and on time but life is not perfect nor on time.
The friends we make and the blocks we make and receive are what make this swap fun. We learn as we go which swappers are in it to swap and which ones may not be...it is a process as is anything in life. With each Boomerang swap I honestly feel it becomes more and more fine tuned.
Will you have all 35 blocks back by your October 15th deadline? I cannot make that promise. All I can say is I know that those who joined have the best intentions and I would guestimate you will have a fair deal of them back in time.

I received a block from Lillie.

Hello all! I'm sure ya'll thought I fell off the face of the earth or something but long story short, I've been really sick and in and out of hospital and it has taken me a tad longer to recover than I thought. Here is the post explaining all that: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-124682-1.htm
So......I have several blocks that just need to be mailed (they were already done before I got sick) and my DD is taking care of that for me on Tues or Wed. I hope to get the rest out very quickly and can't apologize enough for the added delay. IF YOU NEED TO GO TO THE TOP OF THE LIST please PM me.
Thanks everyone!!

Hope everyone is enjoying there holiday weekend!!! I had my 3 days for a change and am at work now for monday/Tuesday. I ended up working on my bosses quilt over the weekend as she will be leaving us in the next month or less. I beleive over the 3 groups I have sent home 23 blocks to date. Only 72 more to go:)Qbee no problems or worries in my court! Keep on stitching when you can...

I rec'd my grown up block from Qbee today...thank you Gail..love the colors...

Oh good :) I am so sorry it was so late....hopefully you can use it for something.

I altered my design to fit all 36 blocks into it....luckily he is a tall man, so at 100" sq the quilt should be fine for him!

here are pix of the blocks I sent out! I am posting them now so that if any newbies from B5 need ideas on what patterns to use(so they don't have to make 9 patches) they can see these pics! These were all patterns from quilterscache.com except for the grandmother's block. I did that in EQ because the one on QC was only a 9" block!

Finally got computer to download pics, again.

I received grown-ups from Lillie and Qbee.

I have received ALL of my grown-ups from this group. You are a rocking group. And ALL of the blocks are beautiful!! I am very proud to use them in my nephews' wedding quilt. I have til the end of Sept for their Oct 8 wedding. I will post a pic of it before I give it. Thank you ALL for the wonderful work you did on the blocks and for swapping with me.

yeah...I can not wait to see this quilt done...

Recieved Grow-up from Lillie!!!

I am happy to see the last of the blocks rolling in :-)

I received a lovley 9 patch from QBee last week, hoping you're doing well.

Qbee, Lillie, did you guys ever send my grown ups back?

Ladies, my records show that I've mailed out the last of my blocks and you should have all received them by now. If I don't hear from anyone soon I will assume that they've all reached "home" safely!

Only thing I am waiting for is a grown up block from Qbee.

I recieved your lovely picture frame block this week thank you!!!
Love it,
KaSandra

KaSandra, I'm glad it arrived safely and that you like it! Thanks for letting me know!
