Boom 19 - Summer
#421
But for sure, being in a Boom has helped me soooo much. I have stepped out & done things I never would have tried otherwise, I'm trying to be much more accurate on cutting & ironing. So many things that just making so many different blocks in a short span of time teaches you that would pass you by in your normal sewing habits.
The community of the Booms is one of encouragement and cheerleaders. A blessing to be a part of it all. And I stumbled on it one day while searching for some else and honestly I can't remember what I was searching for. Serendipity for sure! ❤️

Awesome blocks ladies, I can't believe you are done Sewbiz, I only have 2.5 blocks made!!!!! You ladies are doing a great job on the food fabric, I got lemons (probably going to be my problem fabric this go round) ................... when the boom hands you lemons aren't you suppose to make limoncello???? lol
The food fabrics are challenging. If I can't think of something 'literal', I tend to go totally abstract. I got cherries fabric and am still pondering it. It's probably going to be an abstract!

Oh I know mine won't be "literal" either
Thanks Kass, but your blocks are generally a lot more (ahem) time consuming than mine! To say the least. AND I am not working full time anymore so have plenty of sewing time. I just use my cooking and housecleaning time... HA!

Thanks Showbiz I love my block and the red is gorgeous. Thinking of ordering the red and a pink to go with my other faded florals.
Dealership takes off money for light colored cars on trade ins. Supposedly they aren't as popular.
One of the two cars we went to look at sold as the dealer was getting us the keys to test drive it. Loved this dealership it had a no haggle price policy. Still the entire process took almost 3 hours and we weren't getting financing. I have a bit of a pulled muscle in my very low back. As long as I keep moving it is fine. Sitting that long dh had to help me out to the car Tried a new Terrain out and didn't care for it. Inside was almost identical to my Equinox and it would have been such an easy transition but it was noisy and dh didn't think it had enough pep. Bought the bigger and longer car. When dh retires he will take this one and I will get something smaller.

I will let you know the web site where I found it when I get home. Not sure of the name. Wish I wasn't still working but Id probably go crazier just being home and making quilts, watching Dr. Phil and sleeping The food fabric is kind of making me go hmmmmm..I got pretzels and cookies

Here are my blocks for the morning. They're both for joanelizbay. I used Kona black with the zebra print. It's an Anvil. The giraffe print started out as a Puss in the Corner, but I changed the center. I don't know what to call it now. Hope you like them, Joan.
