Oh please make a snorkel and quilt retreat. What fun that would be. We could even do an art quilt of what we see underwater. Oh I am dreaming and drooling. And finish up the day with a beverage as the sun goes down!

Janice - I have always admired that block from Bibliostone. Great job on it.

and now a new for me - a social group page!! When I went to Holly it just asked if I wanted to join and I checked yes. I can go on the pumpkins but because i am not in the group it didn't ask me.

My world is not spinning as fast and i can now enjoy being on the forum more!!
The Macaw has decided he does not like me after all and refuses to step up on onto my hand so I can take him to his daily perch. The the African gray (JJ) likes me now, and hasn't bit me all week. And the other African Gray (BG) pooped down my back when walking him around (not a good warm feeling!)

Oh, TG, it’s going to be an interesting adventure with the birds…

I have never made a true art quilt, it’s on my bucket list.

TG good luck with your bird duties. Sounds like a real adventure

Duckling sweet block, can’t wait to make a block In Ukrainian colors

Janice your quilt block is gorgeous! If I remember correctly, Bibliostone called it Peaceful Home. Something with home in it for sure.
TG, good luck with the birdies, I love the African Gray especially with how intelligent they are.
Terri, when do you head back to Texas?

Cheesehead I think we will be heading back to Texas about Oct 21, that should give us time to enjoy fall here and still leave Minnesota before the snow flies. We bought a house in the next park over and so did my sister. Looking forward to a new adventure. Do you always head South so early

Cheesehead, that name sounds familiar. Happy to see you’re joining the group again. I hope you’ve been well. We’ve moved to NC to be nearer the family. Am liking the area a lot. 😀

The last list of participants I saw wasn’t 19. How many are in each group? How many do I ship?

I’m in! Just being in water excites me. Did snorkeling eons ago. I’m willing. And a vacation of snorkeling and quilting…..👍🤿

so much new stuff on here today. Must go investigate.

I interrupt this program as I have been searching too long, not to post. The block Janice made is called Peaceful Home by Bibliostone. She has instructions posted at https://www.quiltingboard.com/8377501-post678.html and https://www.quiltingboard.com/showpo...&postcount=611 It is similar to Farmer's Wife block #65 called Peaceful Hours. There is a pattern called Star Drops, too. A few other sites for either block - https://coleensspace.blogspot.com/20...ilt-block.html

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Never mind. I got it now.

I got the invite to join and can see the group but I don't see where I can actually join the group. Help!

Don't worry how many have signed up. We are sending 19 F8s per group. The number of participants is fluid at the moment, as we are still in a sign up period. Just like in the last swap you were in, we are sending 19 and if the group doesn't make quite that many, you will be doing some duplicates so that everyone in the group gets back 19 blocks out of their fabric.
