I hope she she is doing better. I am sure she find comfort in the quilt.
What a story about your first quilt.

The sugar skull fabric was used on the back of a graduation quilt. If you get it, please say a prayer for the young lady that received it. She had a stroke 10 days before graduation and had a 2nd one a few days after graduation. They don't know what caused the strokes and she is undergoing tests.
On a happier note, I have been married for 46 years with 2 grown children with no grandchildren in sight. Oh well, they both have jobs and support themselves so that will have to do.
I first started sewing in elementary school through 4-H. My first quilt was made in the early 70's following the instructions in a magazine. It was tied and made of flannel. When my poor husband took it to the laundermat it disintegrated in the dryer. He felt so bad, but I was glad he did it before I gave it to my friend.
My first boom was number 3. I've been in continuously since, but originally if there were 2 groups, they each got their own boom number instead of different named groups in the same boom.

Hi coulmills. I’m new too. I am sending various black and white print fabrics to make a Halloween quilt. You can send whatever fabric you wish.

Great to hear from you Jaba. ��. Sending good vibes your way.
i finished bagging up my fabrics today, I’m equal parts excited and apprehensive. I think I’ll feel better once I have a block (successfully) under my belt. Maybe I’ll make a practice one tonight out of my fabrics.

I hope that tomorrow goes well. I’m glad you are staying connected with the Boom thread.
QUOTE=jaba;8068849]I'm seeing all this beautiful fabric being posted and wish I could participate so bad! I certainly will be checking in as often as I can to see what awesome blocks are being made. I can say that this cancer zaps your energy for sure. The doctors are keeping close tabs on me so that is reassuring. I start the road to recovery on Monday, chemo and radiation will begin. I hope it will be a short journey, hopefully I'll learn more when they give me my schedule or treatments.
I want all of you to know how very much I appreciate your kindness, prayers and support. It truly means more than you will ever know or that I can express to you. Thank you[/QUOTE]
