Anyone interested in an extra swap?
I have 10 so far but would like several more. I am sending out an Asian butterfly fabric I bought while living in Japan. Let me know, |
I love seeing the blocks posted here on the board. I think this encourages people who aren't in the swap to join another time. I know that's what 'hooked me'. I would never have thought about looking in albums when I started. We are away on vacation for a bit. I did bring F8's with me for the few that were delivered before we left. I'll update when we get back.

I sent out another 4 blocks this morning. Unfortunately, I can't remember who they were to and I'm at work without my spreadsheet. I try to make one block a night and catch up on the weekend if I miss one.
My GD joined in the Boom 10 swap, which, in the beginning I thought it was a good idea. She's a definite beginner. So I'm "helping" her with her blocks too. Last night I found out that she does much better with paper patterns. So for the time being I'm going to be making patterns for all her blocks she needs. She's going to end up with 4 1/2 blocks, 3 1/2 blocks, etc. I need to get her a shoe box for her patterns. |
I received f8th from Abby's mom,Gaijin,Jaba and Old rosebud.
Jaba your block is finished and I will be putting it in the post on Saturday. Working on Gaijin now. Here is a link to jaba's block http://s578.photobucket.com/user/pin...?sort=3&page=1 Hope you are all having a great day |
That looks divine Pink Lady, I love it. Thank you so much!!
|
Got a F8 today from troy26! Made it safely from the 'land down under'. Can I use a print with blue or are you looking for solids/tone on tones?
Hoping to get grown up blocks out tomorrow! Gaijin - I completely forgot to take a picture of the block I made you before I sent it out. :( quiltingaddiction - thanks! I have a very lime green/blue/teal print that matches your fabric perfectly. I have pics in my Boom 10 album of everyone's block so far (sorry again Gaijin!). |
I got four f8ths in the mail today ljdugas,awilson,nanaKathy55 and one that was mailed in temple Texas. This one was mangled in the mail it is a blue fabric with pink,white and yellow flowers on it plus a fabric blue on blue with flowers. The postmistress called me and asked if this was my mail she knows about the swap and I often show pictures of the blocks I made and took my boom 8 quilt out to show her. This envelope is missing the sender address and part of my address and name is missing. The fabric was not wrapped or bagged and has some damage but should still have enough to make a nice block. There was no info in what was left of the envelope. If this sounds like your fabric please let me know. Will get pictures when hubby comes home in a few days with the camera. I think the postoffice did well to get it to me I am glad I live in a small place only about 200 people:)

Received F8's from missgigglewings, quiltaddiction, and troy26. Still have 6 to receive.
|
Pink lady...that would be mine. Let me know if I need to resend!

Just looked back in all the post and the F8th is from alitkat 110 thanks for posting pictures earlier of your fabric :) Did you have a note or anything in with the fabric with colours you wanted used? This is the first time any of my mail been damaged.
|
alitkat 110 just need to know if you have colours you wanted used:) I have a block in mind and should not need more fabric.
|
First I ever sent that got messed up.....just use whites or matching pale colors. Thank you.
|
Old-Rosebud,
I can take a picture and send it to you when I receive your block! I am finished with your block and it is in today's mail. Thank you, Deborah (Gaijin) |
I have received f8's from Abby's Mom, Alikat110, jaba, ljdugas, NanaKathy55, Old_Rosebud, Pink Lady, and Quiltaddiction!
Finished blocks are on their way ljdugas and Old_Rosebud. Hello, my new friends from Australia and Canada! I think your fabric arrived speedily! Gaijin |
Gaijin your fabric was the first one that I received. I am working on it now should finish it tomorrow.
alikat 110 I washed your fabric tonight and all the dirt came out that was on the end:) So I will have no trouble making a block with it. Just missing about 1 inch where it must of got caught on something . The smaller piece of blue was fine. |

Received another F8 from Pink Lady. Very pretty fabric!
|
Sent out grownup to Abbys Mom.
If you are the person with the crazy circle fabic, I sent yours too. I'm at work and thought I would remember everyone . . . but I'm having another episode of "sometimers". |
Here is Gaijin block I will try to mail it on Saterday but I love this one and it will be hard to part with it:) http://s578.photobucket.com/user/pin...?sort=3&page=1
|
Pink Lady-- Did Gaijin not tell you that you are supposed to mail that block to me? ;)
You are seriously talented. I want to steal you away from the Electra group and put you into Steropes with me! :D |
Pink Lady, your block is gorgeous! Thank you for all the work you did on it! I found that fabric here in Tokyo's "Fabric Town" and fell in love with it!
frenchfryqueen: Look, don't touch! Gaijin |
Gaijin I am going to try and get some of the fabric I think three of these blocks with a small border of red between them would make a nice table runner. I am glad you still had the savage on your f8th so I have the name of the fabric:)
|
Yes, that's why I usually leave it on my swap fabric pieces. I have scraps if you would like some? The reason I could buy it here is that many of the quilt fabrics with gold are printed in Japan.
Gaijin P.S. I received Troy26's F8-lovely fabric! |
Nothing came in the post office today. Sent out finished blocks to pinklady and missgigglewings(both groups). Will mail tomorrow to quilt addiction and troy26.
|
that is a beautiful block, Pink Lady. I love it!
|
got from missgigglewings today, the one the other day from her was for the Maia group.

Rec'd F8's from create4paws and missgigglewings. Starting on them this weekend. *crosses fingers*
Received my first grown up blocks for my first boom swap! Jaba - amazing job on my anvil (I think!) block. Love the purple! NanaKathy - I am in awe of the block you made me. It is fantastic! What is the name? Thanks ladies![ATTACH=CONFIG]426276[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]426278[/ATTACH] |
Didn't really want to offend you and very sorry if I did, but the pic wasn't the greatest....just had to post so hope you don't mind.
|
Jaba, I totally agree. Compared to your picture, mine was terrible. But, now I am aware that there may be a color issue with the pics and will be more mindful. Not any reason to be offended. Thank you for the beautiful blocks. The Electra block is DH's favorite so far.
