    Duckling, I received no email. I just checked. Hit reply to my last email and I’ll add you in if I get the requested info this weekend.

    Good morning. Signups are closed and we’re ready to start! Please start prepping your fabrics for shipping. I’ll send out an email on Monday with my address. Please hold off shipping until you receive my email as I will be out of town for several days and I like to be here when your packages arrive.

    If anyone sending one set wants to up to two sets, just let me know. We’ll have fewer duplicates of some fabrics since we don’t have a full group.

    All2pieces - 1 set
    Bibliostone - 1 set
    Hav4boys - 2 sets
    Janice McC - 1 set
    LAF2019 - 1 set
    Lstew - 2 sets
    MJPEncinitas - 1 set
    Moonwork42029 - 1 set
    Sewbizgirl - 1 set
    Terriamn - 2 sets
    WMUTeach - 1 set

    Duckling - pending

    I’ll set up the new Bloom group thread by Monday and I’ll carry over the group info. In the meantime, just keep using this signup thread. (Unfortunately I’m under the weather and plan to head back to bed shortly.)

    For those who celebrate, have a beautiful Easter weekend.

    Get better, Janice. You have been pushing hard while caring for the hubster and Ernie. You deserve an extended morning "nap".

    I will be celebrating Easter at church first and then off to my brother's home for nieces, nephews, silliness, traditions, and catching up with everyone. I am bringing matzo ball soup and lemon menagerie pie. Soup by request and pie ... just because I have a yen for smooth creamy lemon yumminess.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    Bibliostone - 1 set
    Duckling - 1 set

    Hav4boys - 2 sets
    Janice McC - 1 set*
    LAF2019 - 1 set

    *I’m still contemplating sending two sets. It won’t change the number of f8s you all send. Please send 19 ziplock bags with fabric. Everyone here has been a boomer before so you all know how this goes. Makes it easy on me!

These blocks are going for table runners for my two sisters. Roz likes traditional Xmas stuff. Her house is very, very decorated, with two or three different Xmas trees set up. MY sister Liz is more modern, although not as modern as I am. I don’t know if I’m going to keep the third one or give it away in the gift exchange I do at holiday time. I hope you have fun with this fabric.

    I have this fabric too, it's lovely. I also have some great Christmas fabric to go with this fabric.

    Great fabrics, I look forward to working with these.

    Anyhoo, I am ready now. Just a heads up. The photo I am sending, and I took several, looks like the little golden flowers are on blue background. They are not. No matter where and which which device, even a good Cannon camera, it looks like the background is blue. It is actually a weird and wonderful green. So, I have asked for your Bloomer Boomers to only use cream aka muslin look with my fabric. I plan on sashing with black.

    Happy hunting, cutting folding and mailing.
    Lovely fabric, I always wait til I have the fabrics in hand to judge the colors. My photos can never get colors clear either.

There are 9 pieces of the floral fabric and 4 of the puppy fabric. I have a lot of the puppy fabric so it will turn up again in the future. Attached is a picture of my fabric and a charity baby quilt made with the puppy fabric.
    These are fun fabrics, Can't wait to get started.

    Happy Easter to all whether it is bunnies and eggs or a Sunrise service and an empty tomb. Maybe a mix of both. Enjoy your day and celebrate. .

    Good morning. It’s raining here so I’m sure some Easter celebrations will be a washout. How I loved those Easter Egg hunts from childhood and Mom always made sure we had a lovely basket complete with a chocolate bunny. For years my sister and I had matching outfits for church. I haven’t thought about that in years.

    Ernie and I hope you enjoy your day.

    Janice it is raining like crazy here also 5.25” so far. Fabulous but feel bad for all the little ones who can’t have an outdoor Easter egg hunt. Mother always had my sister and I in matching outfits and even Easter bonnets, thanks for the fond memories.

    Love all the fun fabrics, they are going to be fun to work with. I-have been going around and around on the color combinations for the cowboy boots and rodeo fabric and have finally decided on the cream color of the words and some of the blue in the cowboys pants and cream or beige and the same blue color of the cowboys pants for the cowboy hats fabric. Hoping that will tie it all together

    We will head to the clubhouse about 1 for a sold out Easter dinner and when we come back it will be time to print out more labels and print out the wish list on the colors

    Everyone have a wonderful Easter

    I got up, finished my soup for our celebration dinner and walked out, heading to church in the SNOW! Yup it snowed for about 10 minutes. Nah, no accumulation but it is cold, a brisk 35 degrees. Time to leave for my brother's house and all my neices and nephews and their kiddos. My bunny ears are crossed that there is no snow this time.

    Here’s our new thread for the Bloom group. Please post over there. No need to move your pix there unless you want to. I’ll pick them up and add them to the gallery. It’ll open in a couple of days. I’m on the road as I work this so I hope I haven’t forgotten anything!
