Janice I thank you for all you do. Ladies I was in a swap that was so poorly run it made me cry. Went in knowing the rules but someone would say I think we should do this instead or what if we all did this. Host kept changing the rules and we received an assortment of miss mashed blocks. Also i’m Not very well organized so appreciate organized people

I appreciate your leadership as a swap host ,,Janice. I sign up based on the rules as well as the content and deadlines. You can’t be a pushover when people are counting on you to uphold the standards set in the beginning. Things will always happen and grace is needed in unforeseeable circumstances, but I like being part of a group who play by the rules and don’t badger the host to change things to accommodate their preferences. I like how you say from the outset, “if you don’t like such and such, this might not be the swap for you.”
Having said that, I need to go make another Sooner block

Mjp, and everyone, no one here is a burden! Didn’t mean to imply that at all. If I didn’t love the Booms, I wouldn’t be doing it. You can bank on that. It’s just that I burn out toward the end of each one. That final sort stresses me. I sooo don’t want to mess it up. Ask my husband. I’m usually planning the next one within a couple of weeks.
. So please never hesitate to contact me about anything!

Frankly the 100 hours doesn’t surprise me at all, especially with Joan’s death. I can’t imagine how much time it would take if you weren’t so organized and didn’t have a good system in place. Every time I email you privately I cringe because I know I’m adding to your burden.
We appreciate you Janice.
We appreciate you Janice.

Oh my - I skip a few days and there are pages of great posts - and my favorites are those two boys - they are so darling. Oh and yes, the quilt block work is awesome also.
I have been in a funk - nothing is going together like it should.
JayneW block should have been so easy - but I couldn't seem to sew a straight line and it ended up short. Its perfectly 12.5" now! I love the optical illusions in this block - and hope it goes with your stained glass look.
