Pink Lady, nice blocks you are making there. Missing oldcatlady, troy26, have to check on createfourpaws ( have another list downstaris and I may not have marked this one by the computer when I got your block)also missing from debfaye on a side swap in 2 groups and to be honest I guess grammy1231 has a lot of F8's from everyone! I'm extremely happy with all of the blocks I have received from this group, they are sewn nicely and for the most part the right size. Thank you all so much and hope you are enjoying your blocks also.

jaydee3 I have the pattern and fabric pick out for yours and it is sitting on my table to start after I finish two others that are started:) I am hoping to finish all my block by the end of next week.

Hello Ladies
Just checking to see if any of you have not received your grown up finished blocks..I checked yesterday and it looks like I have sent all my finished blocks home..If you have not received one please let me know..Thanks & thanks for sharing you talent with me!
Kathy

Jaydee3,
I just mailed your block this morning at the after-hours post office. It is my last one for this group.

Gaijin

Jaydee3,

I will try to get yours in the mail on Monday.

Jeannette (mollymunchkin)

Thanks gaijin and mollymunchkin, knowing for sure that these are on the way and two from another group means I change my dashing fabric to a bigger piece

Shashing not dashing...teehee

I am planning on working on all blocks that I need to send out.

Need to get everything done before mom's surgery. It has been confirmed for November 1st @ 7 am, will be in the hospital for 3-4 days.

Thanks for the update Cindy. Hope your Mom does well

Jeannette ( mollymunchkin)

I received a lovely block from Pink Lady today thank you!

An update: I finished and mailed all of my blocks, except Grammy1231, whose F8 I did not receive. I have two other blocks I have not yet received-createfourpaws and oldcatlady. Please let me know if I have messed up! Thank you all for the gorgeous blocks!

Gaijin

I received a lovely block from miss giggles.. Thank you. Three in three days wahoo I'm starting to get excited about layouts now. :thumbup:

Troy26, received your block to me today, thank you so much. Just waiting for createfourpaws, oldcatlady, and debfaye. Never heard or received from grammy1231. Thanks again Lyndell for the nice block. [ATTACH=CONFIG]442859[/ATTACH]

Received a wonderful block from nana Kathy today. Thank you so much

Received beautiful blocks from mollymunchkin and gaijin. They are perfect additions. I am so excited. I now have enough blocks to choose the smashing fabric from my stash. Thanks to all you wonderful swappers.

troy26 - received my block from you today. Thanks so much - I love the purple and it will work perfectly with the other blocks.
I show I am missing block from oldcatlady and createfourpaws. If this is wrong - please let me know!
I have sent all my grown ups home.

Received a beautiful block from gaijin. Thanks.

I mailed all the blocks out today. The postal clerk said all the out of country envelopes were less than 1 oz so he put a 1st class international stamp on it! 1st time that has happened to me. He said he was ignoring the 'bubble bump' on one end. I hope it doesn't have to pass through another clerk in the back who decides to send it back to me for more postage. It is so frustrating working with the post office some times.

Troy 26, I received your lovely block. Thank you so much. I will post a pic later this weekend.

The fabrics I sent out for this group were special to me and I was excited to see what you all would do with them. I am so amazed at all the beautiful blocks in some many different patterns and love the fabrics you added to mine. I would never have made such a great quilt on my own. Thank you all so much! I hope you love your blocks as much as I love mine :)

oldcatlady - received a beautiful block from you today. Thank you so much and the colors you used are wonderful.

That leaves me with only missing from createfourpaws. Not a rush from me so take your time if you need. I know you said you have had some challenges with family health right now. That's so much more important than a quilt block.
Thanks ladies for a great swap. You guys sent some great blocks! I will put up pictures once I get them all together in a quilt.

All my blocks have now been posted out......most of them went a few weeks ago.......and the last five went out today, those being - Quiltaddiction, mollymunchkin, ljdugas, Jaydee3 and createfourpaws.

A big thank you to everyone whose blocks I have received....I love them all. I am just waiting on a few.....awilson (side swap), missgigglewings (I see you mailed about the 10th, so it should be here soon), oldcatlady and Pink Lady.

Thanks ladies I have enjoyed this swap.

Troy26 your block is done and should be in the mail by the end of the week. I just have a couple more to complete and they all should be in the mail by Friday Will try to post pictures of some tomorrow.

Hello everyone,
Yes I know I have been MIA :( Thank you Melinda for trying to help anyone who needed it and thanks for the updates to the groups.
I ended up with a massive infection in my shunt which almost caused me to loose my eyesight in my right eye. I was taken by ambulance to my local ER on October 5 and then transported out to my neurosurgeon in CT. I spent a week in ICU on very high dose antibiotics. They removed my old VP shunt on a Wednesday once I had been on the antibiotics for 3 days and then put a new one in on Friday with anti-microbial tubing so hopefully this does not happen again. I just returned to work on the 24th. I have some pain still from the tubing as it is larger than the normal tubing and it takes some getting used to :) Thankfully though my neurosurgeon saved my eyesight by putting in an LP drain bedside and draining the infected CSF and relieving the increased pressure on my optic nerves. I am headache free now and I can see. My right eye is still a little weak but it is getting there :)
Due to some rows I am unable to locate from a row robin I was in (I put them up for Hurricane Sandy and then had 5 brain surgeries so I can't get through all of the containers :( ) I have been informed I am no longer allowed to host swaps so sadly this will be the last Boomerang swap unless someone wants to host it until I am able to find the rows and get them home to their rightful owner (which I will do :) ). If anyone wants to please let me know, I hate to see this swap end because of my shortfalls.
Also please remember deadline is coming up soon, hopefully you are all almost done and happy :)
Huge Hugs
April
