April I am missing a F8 from mbogenpohl (but she pm'd me yesterday). I have to more blocks to finish and then I will post all the ones that I send out later today. Sorry for the delay, just didn't get them all done Friday and the weekend was just too hectic. I had a stack ready to go but decided to wait for the last 3, so I will go to the post office this afternoon.

The bottom line is that when I lost my Dad in July I joined this board as I was beginning to learn to quilt, as a kind of therapy, and it was SO helpful. I chatted with the folks on live chat until the wee hours of the morning on those nights I couldn’t sleep, I marveled at all the beautiful quilts for hours at a time and took all the quilt classes I could sign up for at my LQS. Then in December when I lost my mom, it got harder to keep “pulling myself up by the bootstraps” but I did manage to get through Christmas and the holidays. All was going fairly well until all the senior pictures and other graduation preparations for my youngest started. It hit me that my nest was about to be completely empty….no dad, mom or kids to take care of.
So…..when all the swaps opened up in January I joined them ALL! I signed up for BOTH Boomerang Groups, the Round Robin, the Siggy Swap, and started Hosting the Magnet Swap. The plan was to stay SO busy that I wouldn’t get depressed, etc.
Well, what I didn’t know is that there would be days that I could sit on the board all day, chat on live chat pretending that I was doing great but would not be able to actually get anything done at all. I especially didn’t foresee days that I wouldn’t want to get out of bed. So, I finally broke down and went to the doctor recently and am getting some meds that have been helpful. The doctor was very nice in telling me that I should not have expected myself to bounce back….blah…blah…blah but the truth is, I am humiliated and ashamed to have to admit that I have not lived up to what I agreed to do.
I am NOT asking for any sympathy believe me....this is TOTALLY my own fault. What I do need is for anyone who needs their block back in the next week or so to let me know so I can look to see if it is already made or make it and get it sent ASAP. I will be working night and day to get the rest made and do not anticipate any other delays.
I have finished the 56 blocks for the Siggy Swap and they are already packed and ready, the Magnet Swap is doing much better in that everyone for the most part is sending as they said they would, etc. so that is really easy and fun now, and the ladies in my Row Robin group are total dolls plus that row is about done anyway. So....I am putting ALL of my focus on getting ya’lls blocks done.
Again, I am truly sorry for this and promise that it will not happen again. If allowed, I would like to do the next Boomerang swap but only one group this time….LOL ;)

Qbee...God Bless you. It is so hard to lose one parent, but to to lose both...my heart goes out to you. Take care of you, and your daughter.
You don't have to hurry with my block right now.

I finished a block tonight it's going out tomorrow to Karen (I wrote you a little note and then forgot to put it in the envelope before sealing hope you like the print I really loved it and hope it's not too wild for you :-) -
I only had a couple of people who I received f8s later in the swap I had to put you on the back burner while I made my daughters prom gown. It's been a lot of work I'm almost finished but needed a break tonight... I have 1 f8 here (for Tealfalcon I don't have Christmas fabric so I'm still contemplating your block but soon in a day or two) and one coming from Mbogenpohl.
In the last few weeks I have received blocks from
Nurse Bonnie
Goldendog55,
Okdarla,
Karen,
kathyN,
and today from Tolepainter all have been beautiful blocks.
