I have almost everything made. but with working 60 hours a week and deer season upon us I haven't been able to go to town for anything for a while. Other than basic groceries. Hope to get most mailed off after thanksgiving.

Please don't anyone think that I am in any kind of hurry, I just wanted to let everyone know where I stand and make sure that nothing is out there in the "mail zone". I won't be doing anything with my blocks until after the new year because of graduating from school.

Leakus, I will miss you if decide not to do Boomer 4. It has been so much fun chatting with you.

Quiltlin, I mailed your block on monday so you should be receiving it soon, please let me know if you don't.

Hi Ksea,
thanks for you kind words. I would tell you that I said that I might not join boomerang4 but didn't say I'll unplug the computer!!!
But I am with you, the exitement of being in the exchange does do the trick to keep us engaged in the conversation. I still have time to decide; it's been so much fun to work with fabrics that I would have never work with otherwise. My plan is to finish the last 4 blocks today (listen to me that I am sitting at the front door at the computer!); once I finish, I'll jump to some projects I'd like to do like some Christmas pillowcases and pot holders, maybe postcards and then I'll see.
love to you all

Leakus, I was hoping that you would say that. I don't have any quilting friends other than the ones I have met on this board and I love interacting with all of you.

Ksea,
I belong to a quilt guild here in my city since early this year. I have made more friends here in the forum than in the face to face guild. Don't take me wrong, I love the meetings, we get to see the quilts in person and ask about the techniques, we also enjoy lectures and there are classes offered but I don't seem to have half of the fun I have here. I hope it lasts for ever.
How many hours per week can you devote to quilt?

I can only spend a couple of hours after work 3 days a week and weekends depending of my son's activities (he is 6 yrs old).

I believe I never posted a pic of the blocks KarenBarnes and quiltlin sent me. Here they are, both beautiful.

I received a super cute block from MegsAnn! I will try to post pictures soon!
Thank you. :)

[quote=leakus]Leakus, until Dec 15th I am a full time student with 7 classes!! That means 34 hours actual seat time in class and then at least that many more hours in homework, so I really can't devote too much to quilting until after graduation. I also have 12 grandkids that love to spend time at Nanas house so sometimes it seems like I never get to the sewing machine but everyonce in a while when I get to feeling like that I just set my alarm for 4 or 5 am and get an hour or so in before school. My husband works out of town so when I graduate I will have lots of time. We are going to Arizona for 6-8 weeks this winter and I am refusing to fly so that I can take my sewing machine with me. If hubby refuses to drive I just might stay home.

MegsAnn sent this nice block this weekend. Thank you very much! See all the little pieces she used!

Such beautiful blocks that everyone is sending in.The colors are wonderful. I really like the playfulness of goldendog's bear block.
