Hope you like them!

Jane

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I am waiting to receive blocks from:

bluelady
kidlit (read your post above)
SharonB

What a fun boom!!

Jane

Really nice blocks Jane!

I just read through my posts and, honestly, I'm not sure if I have received a block from bluelady. Good thing I'm not an accountant!!! My record-keeping skills kinda suck - - -

Jana - if you made my block, would you please post a picture so I can get this straightened out on my end.

Jane

Jane, I have completed your block but not mailed it yet. And I haven't had time to post a pic! I will try to get it posted tonight and in the mail tomorrow. I leave for Nashville on Saturday morning so they all must be in the mail by then!

Chasezzz Yours is completed also. :) Thats makes 100% completed!! I will also try to post pic later tonight.

Update:
I have completed all blocks but two still need to hit the mail box and be on their way! (and I did not do TJ Beavers block as I never received a F8).
I have not received a block from Kidlit, or NC quilter (and TJ Beaver) but I have received a block from everyone else! (except one swapper to whom my F8 got lost in the mail, but that doesn't count, as I never replaced my F8).
It looks like Kidlit has hers in the mail so I am looking forward to getting it soon!

I will be outa town all next week, so I won't be able to see my incoming blocks until after the 1st. I am heading to Nashville for work. Any excellent quilt shops there that I must see? A friend and I are heading up to Paducah after our meeting to spend a whole day up there too!
So have a Happy Halloween everyone!!

I am still waiting to hear about my blocks coming from:

AZTESS1
NCQuilter
Sharon B
TJ Beaver (and f8)
debfaye

Ladies, if you have sent your block to me, please PM me or post a pic of it. There's still plenty of time, of course. :)

Pictures posted in my Sent album for Chasezzz and Jclinganrey.
Also I received these wonderful two blocks and I am not sure who they are from!! I think from Abby's Mom and Lestrong, but I am not sure which is which.. can you please help?!

Bluelady, I peeked...love my block. Also jclinganrey, I did this block for someone and really like it. Can't wait to rec them. Thanks ladies

I haven't seen any posts from Aztezz or Sharonb. Does. Anyone know if they are okay? I hope no illness or family problems

Great block, Bluelady! Thanks!! Can't wait to see it "in person"!

Jaydee, you should have received it by now. It was mailed about a week and a half ago, please keep an eye for it.

Thanks for the 'spoiler alert' pics, bluelady. Now I know my mystery block isn't from you.

Here is a picture. Would the mystery maker please stand up. (remind you of any old TV game shows???):

[ATTACH=CONFIG]443284[/ATTACH]

It's either AZtess1 or dotcomdtcm. It's a lovely block and I want to give proper credit to the maker.

Jane

Jane: The mail came and brought your beautiful block. Thank you.

I'm amazed at all the talent in this group. I am honored to be a part. Kidlit

I received a beautiful block from jclinganrey today. I love it. Thank you!

Jclinganrey, I received your beautiful block! :)

I went to my first quilt club meeting yesterday. "My name is Amber, and I'm a quiltaholic.." I took my finished top from Boom 9 to drop off with my go-to quilter, and took this group's blocks for show and tell. Everyone loved them both! I'm so blessed to be in the Sterope group with such talented ladies!

The quilt club was interesting. I was the youngest person there by about 30 years, but everyone was very nice and welcoming. None of them had ever heard of a Boomerang swap, so maybe I've given the group a project! :)

Received a lovely block from kidlit today. Katie, I love it. It is definitely more than good enough. Thank you.
According to my records, I have now received blocks from everyone except ncquilter and sharonb. Correct me if I'm wrong..

Another block received
 

Received my block from Kidlit today! Beautiful, I really like it a lot! Thank you!

Think I'm still missing blocks from,AZTESS1, I think and also, NCQuilter, debfaye, tjbeaver, and her fabric, Sharon b .

Lovely block from kidlit! Thanks so much! :)

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

Wow April, what a difficult month! Kudos to you for making it through all of those challenges, and I am especially grateful your eyesight has been saved and the headaches are gone. Given what you've faced, I think it is admirable that you've been able to be as supportive as you have to the Boom. I will keep you in my prayers and add a "please help the rows to resurface"! This has been a very good group and I appreciate all of the organizing you did to make the Boom happen.

Kidlit, thanks for the beautiful block that arrived in my mailbox today! It is the first one shown in my "received album, for others of you that want to see it.

kidlit.....your more than respectfully done block arrived yesterday. It's been entered in my "received" album...Thank you very much....:)

April.....good golly Lady, you've been through the mill and back again.....so glad you are doing so well....I've been sending some prayers your way......As I've said before, anything between you and me is "at your leisure" and if you want to cancel out, that's OK too.....just BE WELL!!!!

April--You have done a great job and deserve all our thanks. I am so glad you are doing better and hope you continue to improve every day. I hope this is the end of your challenges.

Thank you GagaSmith, wendig, chasezzz, frenfryqueen and ruck9085 for
letting me know that you received your blocks. I'm glad you like them, I
hope they work out in your quilts.

April, so good to hear from you. My prayers are with you. Take care of yourself.
I always ask St. Anthony for help when something is lost. May just be coincedence,
but, I usually find them. And it is usually somewhere I already looked. I hate looking for
things. Hope you find them for your peace of mind if nothing else. I think you are
amazing. I do hope your husband is doing well, too.

I am still waiting to hear about my blocks coming from:


AZTESS1
NCQuilter
Sharon B
TJ Beaver (and f8)
debfaye

Happy Halloween everyone! :)

Thought I'd show all of you what I have decided to do with the little scraps of fabric left over from your blocks. I have them from the last 3 booms, so will be making a few of these. Haven't decided on the inner circle yet, just been putting the dresdans together. Your little pieces are being used and will be a nice memory.[ATTACH=CONFIG]444443[/ATTACH]

April, I am glad you are doing better and hope you continue to get stronger. I am sad that you won't be doing this swap again as I think you did an amazing job. I really hope someone picks it up as I really look forward to it.

My list is a follows:
received every grown up block except for:
dotcomdtom
frenchfryqueen
jclinganrey
ncquilter
ruck9085
sharon b
tjbeaver

Now my list could have gotten messed up as I was in 2 swaps, so if your data is different then mine please let me know

Hello everyone! This message is for whoever does not have a block from me yet! They were sent out Friday, so they're definitely coming!

Jaba- what a lovely idea!

Marcia- sent you a PM! :)
