I rec'd f8 from,Dahna42 and travelinggramma

F8's recieved from catgirl807, elisabrat, & travelinggramma.....

I received some bubbles in my package from travelinggramma. I love the fabric. Can't wait to see the finished quilt. I have to work tomorrow so I will hope to work on your block Monday.

When I saw how your fabric was folded nice and flat I opened all my envelopes and started over. Now I am much happier with them now but I missed the P.O. today. They will be out Monday morning.

Thanks

travelinggramma, your fishy block is finished and will be swimming up to Prescot Valley Monday morning.

Yippeee! I received the following squishies from this group: Travelinggrandma and Catgirl807 in the mail today. Thanks! Its nice to hear as they are coming in people are thinking of sewing!

I received F8's from ljdugas, travelinggramma, and elisabrat......ready to roll.....I try to keep up...so expect to see the finished block within the week.
Dahna

Still missing 4 from the previous one

Dahna, so sorry to hear your missing four. Hopefully with a small group here we will all be responsible. I have to ask are these same four that are missing playing in this boom swap now? If you alert April to the players who are not fulfilling their obligations she has the right to ban them from playing until they do. Just a thought. EVERYONE this is NOT a huge commitment. Fourteen Blocks. You get fourteen blocks. I will be extremely unhappy if this happens in this swap. I will find deadbeats. On a positive note.. I believe in all of the players. POST POST POST it lets everyone in the group know your alive. Less scary for us. Overall Dahna I think this is a good group of players. Right guys??

SEWING TODAY! yeah!!! Send your fabrics so my box of envelopes can grow bigger and bigger. I love it!!!! oh a sunny 82 in Cody Wyoming today how about you guys?

Ok I just finished old cat lady's block now to work on the one from Penn. State its a college revival at the Brat's house this weekend. Then we will see if the energy will hold for just one more :)

Helloooo! Sorry I have not posted yet here. I have been battling an upper respiratory infection. Spent several days in the hospital over the weeks. Home now :)

I did receive from travelinggramma and catgirl807. Now just to raid my stash! In the process of labeling my envelopes. Hope to be postal Monday.

Saturday was a great mail day. I received 2 squishies from this group and 3 from my other group!

Thanks to catgirl807 and elisabrat. I hope to be making blocks on Monday.

hugs, Jupiter

Received Catgirl and Jupiter yesterday - now to decide on the perfect block. Won't get to sewing until next weekend when family (grands :)) leave.

Hi everyone! Some of you I know already and some I will meet! Sent all my little yellow envelopes off today. Talked my hubby into going to the special hours post office because today is a national holiday in Japan- Marine Day! He even helped me stamp them air mail!

Gaijin

Gaijin what a nice husband you have. Mine would have laughed if I asked for help putting postage on anything. He did grudgingly take a stack to mail for me the other day but otherwise he is not too much into helping with quilting. Jupiter! I love the block it looks like the birds are in the trees! I need some of that bark like fabric. How cool! I messed up saying I had done oldcatlady's block. I did catgirl's block. All the cat players!! ok its me not your names. I mess up stuff like that often. read it and fling its gone right out the old memory bank. But I am doing very well on blocks already five done so today another two or three and surely there will be such a big pile of your fabrics coming in I will be busy for another two weeks finishing those up. I am very happy about that. I love making these blocks and love how my mind gets challenged each time. this block swap is literally good therapy for me :)

Just left the PO. All envelopes mailed. Japan was only $2.05. Everythimg else went out with a regular stamp!

I just went to the PO received fabric from Jupiter, elsabrat, ljdugas, and Dahna42. I have 6 now so I have to get sewing.

I received F8's from the following swap buddies:

Squishy's recieved from Jupiter, Dahna42, and ljdugas....

I've received from catgirl; Donna,, A; Elizabrat, travelinggramma, LJ Dugas, & Jupiter. Computer & typing on my Kindle. I just learned where to find a comma!! New computer coming soon!

I have a few envelopes over at Jaba's house so tomorrow I will let you know that I have your blocks. My fast group has sent almost all of their fabrics, I have sent back five on that one and well its going to be a fast swap this time. I am good with this!! My Christmas fabrics are for gifts to give my daughter and son. My son will make the journey out here the last week of Sept. If I could get enough back before then I can make them a set of placemats so I will cross my fingers at least 8 come in before then. I need to do two a day so that if a four day process. so no less than Sept 10th I know that is sorta of pushing it but if your inclined I could use the help. I am framing them all I think in red to brighten them u :)

does anyone need their scraps back? I got robbed at the post office. I sent back two envelopes with blocks in them. regular white envelope ok cant machine it needs hand cancel. I have never paid more than 69 c on them. today he charged me 2.06 cents for the regular envelopes. then the manila 6x9's he charged me 1.05 I was shocked. I said how can you do that they never run this high he says size and over weight.. uh how come those four are not over weight at 1.05 and these have the same amount of fabric in them.. 2.06 he says it is what the scale says. SHEESH not going to his window. Let me know how fast they get there.I am assuming nothing is easy here.

It was a big day in my mailbox. I received 6 squishies, 3 from each of my groups. The 3 from Alcyone are :

ArizonaKat
Dahna42
ljdugas

hugs, Jup

more photos!
 

Today I made 2 blocks and posted the photos in my album that is listed under my signature here. They are for awilson and catgirl807.

hugs. Jupiter

My fabric has been mailed. I hope it all makes it ok. Looking forward to getting the return blocks. Thanks everyone in advance.

I am going on vacation this week so I will have to catch up next week

Linda, you didnt tell us to pack our bags! Vacations are meant to be shared. now my feelings are hurt. I sure hope there is a post card coming with this one. sheesh!

well today is fabric sorting day. I think a mole went through my bins as they are completely messed up. I am unable to locate anything. The move yeah that was what did it, actually it was. My hubby packed up my sewing room when I was in clinic I was ready to have a heart attack when I saw that. then we lived with the boxs for over 3 weeks and I just well dug into them. Now where is what? I have no clue. So a day of sorting. Its kinda like Christmas though OH I havent seen that in forever! Wow I forgot about THAT fabric lol.. (easy for me, this forgetting thing) so I will be shopping in my own little store this afternoon. wish me luck ladies. its a dirty job but someone has to do it. (come on over you can play with my fabric too)

What fun! I hope you do enjoy your own special 'fabric store',

hugs, Jup

Linda, I would love to be petting...I mean sorting my fabric. It is sooooo fun!

I received one more package today from ArizonaKAT.

I received a finished block already.....from ljdugas....it is beautiful as always, thanks.

I got an F8 from Catgirl.

Received fabric from these people:

dahna42
jupiter
ljdugas31
arizonakat

Received fats from Azcat, catgirl, dahna42, brat, jupiter, ljdugas, and travelinggramma. Thanks everyone

Terriamn

I hope by today all my blocks are received. please let me know after mail comes if you have NOT received from me I can send another piece to you.

I folded all my fabric yesterday thanks to Jabas help and getter dont attitude. I even did the tiny scraps so I can find everything. Wow I have fabric I forgot i had! I know this has not happened to you but to me its always a oh yeah! I love that one! moment. lol. I will now have tons to chose from to make your blocks. Has everyone sent yet? who is still stalling on this? why if so may I ask? what is holding you up? in theory everyone is to be read cut and stuffed at the time of assignments of teams. so all that is left is addressing and mailing. its a theory. a good one too but a theory. I am hoping to finish all by the end of August for both my teams. two a week is not hard to squeeze in.. and two groups four? sure.. I can do four. I am going to take a pic of a finished quilt from boom 8 I did. I absolutely love it its very feminine and the blocks all seem to flow together. its an adorable quilt. I just did the top to the boom 9 and have to put a border on it and send it to be quilted. I love that quilt too. I end up with a couple extra's to use as pillow cases or wall hangings and I think that is a lucky thing all in all. if the colors are a bit bolder or just too different for the quilt they work great on the wall.. close but not that close to see the offset of color. I would love to see any boom's you have completed into something also. I have a boom of halloween. I am going to make wall hangings and table runners out of. Jaba did a set of placemats for all her daughter in laws. She sent fruit fabric/veggies? and they ended up adorable. check her album to see them. so cute! ideas anyone have other ideas??

Received fabric from benndm

OK, so I gather up all my envelops that have multiple fabric and the envelopes that are going out of country (I thought) this morning and rush to the PO . . . only to find that I don't have my out of country envelopes. So where are my out of country envelopes? In the beginning I thought that joining this swap with my GD was a good idea.But I'm dealing with disorganization. She doesn't clean her work space. She's trying to cut when I am. Trying to use the iron when I need it. Her envelopes are everywhere! AHHHHHHH! And where are my out of country envelopes! I guess I'll need to go home tonight and meditate. Where would I have put them to keep them safe?

Never fear Gaijin, you envelope will be at the PO tomorrow . . . even if I have to cut a new one.
