Welcome to Boom 32, Squirrels! Please start posting!

I can't wait for the Boom to begin, here is my first block.
I will be asking for any of the colors in the fabric with a bright white tone on tone or solid white.

Love that floral. It’s been awhile since we have at such a vibrant floral.
And before Booms I had never ever considered Tula fabrics. Niw I look forward to playing with it!

Debbie left 5” last night and no electricity . You know it’s not good when they needed to send out helicopter to check all the lines. This is the fourth downpour (3-8”) since beginning of July. State has kept up with their roads but town and county are struggling. Thankfully DS has generator for freezers. He brought his work generator to neighbor for her freezer. This small town finds ways to pull together.
I had taken out a small turkey for dinner tonight as company coming, but will have to wait till tomorrow.

Have my package ready but post office has no electric and I can’t print ! Tomorrow is another day.

Beautiful block, Cheese! It ought to be a colorful quilt.

TG, glad you are ok. I hope they get your power back on soon. It's miserable to be without it in the heat of summer.

I'm excited for the block making to begin!

Cheesehead beautiful block and I love the vibrant floral

TG so sorry to hear you have been pummeled by Hurricane Debby. We have had an unbelievable amount of rain this year but you are getting bombarbarded. Hope you have power soon.

Today was the campgrounds chicken feed potluck. We were talking about all the different weather scenarios we have been through for the potluck. It’s only in the 69’s here and other years we have had rain, wind and heat. Being cool was just fine with all of us but very sad we have had so little lake time with all the crappy rains.

TG, glad to hear you are safe, Hope power get back on soon. Getting my packages ready to post. Hoping to mail by Tuesday.

Just back from a comedy festival in Asheville. We saw 8 comics and much of it was hysterically funny. A couple really stood out. What a fun evening.

TG, sorry to hear of your Debby troubles. I hope electricity is back on soon. We just got some light rain and clouds this far inland.

I'm ambivalent about my fabric choice. I guess I’ll look through the stash one more time. I’m enjoying seeing all your fabrics. I hope to open the gallery tomorrow.

I love the name squirrels! We have a black squirrel with a red tail locally, I’ll try to snap a pic, he is all over the neighborhood so it might get tricky, but he is so CUTE! I’m headed to the fabric store to pick up a good background, I’m going to request a 2 color for one of mine and I’m still tossing around ideas for the second set, but I have to decide today because otherwise mailing gets dicey. All of the sudden I have 3 weddings in one month. Now I get why Jenny Doan gives a picnic quilt. That’s all you have time to do sometimes. I have to get going :-) hugs squirrels!

Squirrels is a cute name for the group! I made a squirrel baby quilt for my second Baby when she was born.

Darlng quilt NZ!
