Terriamn- what a wonderful friend you are - hopefully you had plenty of laughs together.'
Cheese - thank you for using both fabrics. I love it!
SewBiz- one Christmas when we had a housefull of company, I went to get out of bed and wammie - out went the back. spent the entire day in bed and all the company had to make the meal!
I had insomnia last night - so I searched the web and my books for sea life to use for SewBiz blocks. Here are your three. Hope they will swim well with the others

Good evening. Just back from our Asheville family’s home. Hadn’t seen the grands in almost a month since everyone is so busy.
I received three block pix from Nelco for me, Hav and Lstew. Enjoy!
Thank you Nelco for my wonderful block!

Travellinggramma, I LOVE my three undersea blocks! They are all so gorgeous, but that crab is a real treasure! Thank you so much for the beautiful blocks. This is going to be a pretty quilt!
GramE and Nelco, BEAUTIFUL blocks!
Terri, how nice your hubby cooked for you! That's a keeper! Hope you had a nice visit with your friend, and the two of you got done what needed to be done to their camper.

TG, what nice Autumn blocks you made for Lstew! They make me feel holiday-ish!
Terri, thanks for sharing the bear! Your quilt sure looks great behind him!
Wednesday I reached for something and --PING-- back spasm. It wasn't even a big movement. So now I'm nursing a bad back. Can't do a lot except lie down. Today is better than yesterday, so I'm hoping it settles down soon.
Have a nice evening!

No blocks today, but I did go to an estate sale of a women that had attending my quilt group a few years ago. She passed away about a year ago and her family has been trying to clear her house. I walked away with almost 24 yards of good quilting fabric for $20 dollars. It is musty smelling but not soiled. I am washing it this evening and pressing as I go. I did my best to focus on colors that I need. My joy is that there are a number of cuts that are enough yardage to be used as backing. That sure works for me! Maybe some of the UFO will take the next step to leave my sewing room.
Tonight.... something on the screen and adding the binding to a hospice quilt that needs repair so it can serve a few more folks. .

Hi, all.
Hubby and I have been down. Seems like everyone has a touch of that as the days roll by. I hope everyone is getting better. It'll take me a bit to catch up on all the gossip. All the blocks are looking great on the weekly site. Thanks Janice!
This tablet won't let me post photos. I'll have to use the big laptop, so I'll do that soon. Anyone else have that issue?

Ouch SBG, been there done that! Hopefully you will feel much better with the new RX.
Two blocks for today, one for TG and one for Susie. TG. that 4" fabric you included looked so nice together with the blue fabric that I looked for a pattern that could use that 4" piece. Your block looks a little wonky in the picture, but it truly is square.

Good morning. Just getting around to checking in. Got up a little late and went for a walk on this sunny and coolish day.
Cheesehead, love your blocks for TG and Susie. Am particularly enthused by the basket block. Lovely.
A2P, hope you are back to feeling yourselves now.
TG. SBG's undersea blocks are fabulous. Love the crab!
SBG, glad your back is recovering.
GramE, that's a much better pic. Thanks.
Off to the gallery.

I love it, Cheese!!
Since I was away I haven't done any sewing but need to get going on blocks. I'm looking forward to it. It's fun to use other peoples' fabric.
The last few pages of blocks are wonderful. It seems that each Boom gets better and better. Love being a part of it.
I also like the chit chat that goes with it. It's nice to have a group to hang with.

Somebody asked to see my new little Janome travel machine. Here she is. I’m just starting to play with it. This is my first computerized machine so there’s a little learning curve. So far it sews great straight. Next I’m going to re-thread and try some zigzag stitching as I need to do a little Frankenbatting.
Cheese, love your newest blocks for SBG and Ibex.
Ernie’s walking around too much so I think he’s telling me he needs a potty break. Later!
