Terri, that's a wonderful bunch of neighbors you have! Its sad that I don't even know the names of some of mine. There are a lot of rental properties around my neighborhood and they move in and out quite often. When I first moved there 30 years ago we all knew each other...times have changed a lot.. 2 days of getting to work at 5:00 am, 2 days of taking grandkids to school being over at their house at 6 am...I'm pooped!! But state inspectors came today, we passed so life is good!!! Now maybe I can sew some at night when I get home!!

Here are the groups as they stand today. They are likely to change a bit as some people might shift from one group to another or drop entirely. I do have a couple of 3 month members who might consider shifting to the 2 month group if more wish to join the 3 month. And again, consider the two month group or put yourself on the waiting list for the 3 month group by emailing me your wishes. Thank you!

2 Month Group currently stands at 13 members:
Bibliostone
Bootsy

Jaba

Thank you to our new members, AnnieQuilts, D.Henson, Mariposa and Maudeflanagan. We hope you enjoy your first adventure with us. And where would we all be without all of our repeat Boomers? Thank you all!

As always, if you spot an error, please don't hesitate to let me know. Email is always faster for me to respond to.

Thank you, TG. Might take you up on that if another person wants to join. We've had one switch already to accommodate a newbie. (It was me. I'm content with either group, too. I like the earlier finish to the 2 month.)

Janice, so glad you are playing this time! Is that a new kitty?

Janice McC

Me, too.

That is my Freddie. He was the one of the best cats ever born. He died 7 years ago tomorrow and I was just missing him. Love that photo of him. Makes me smile every time I see it.

Aw... Rest in peace, Freddie. They do capture our hearts, don't they?

Ahh sweet Freddie.

Feel half way normal today.

The neighbors making the cookies are total strangers to me, that makes it even more special.

So exciting we have new members this round.

Will post pictures of my fabric in a bit.

My mom has moved in and we are all getting settled. She is on oxygen so DH and I have to be careful walking around. (and I have to tell her to get out of the kitchen when I am cooking with gas!!) All good. DD and family come in on Tuesday for 10 days so I may not be on the computer much. We always try to give them a date night and we upped it to an overnight date night so we will be with 3yoGD. (and 90yo Mom!)
On top of it, I lost a lens in my prescription glasses and had to make an appt. with optometrist and won't get glasses til a week afterwards. But I will have them for quilt blocks!!
Loving all the fabric samples - so diverse - and of course I always doubt myself if I am up to making you all blocks. I have had my fabric cut and have leftover bags from previous booms, just need to make a note.
Enjoy the day

Finally ladies hubby and I are in the final stretch. We’re in our new house and loving it! Most items are put away and in place, now it’s trying to remember where that place is. Just waiting for a few pieces of the new furniture to arrive, discovered we need to add a heater to the pool in order to use it in the winter when we are here so they will be starting on it, got Christmas stuff finally done today and in the mail tomorrow. All’s good and ready to boom!! Well almost, have to get it washed, cut and bagged. Another 3 or 4 days and hopefully things will settle down for the next few months.
nice to see some new names in our swap, that’s always fun. Thank you Janice for adding me to the list of swappers, much appreciated
