Our 8" of snow now has a 2" thick layer of ice under it. Since we live in Georgia, we're not as equipped to handle winter weather as northern states are ... so everything's pretty much shut down at the moment.
I added a link to my signature line so y'all can see photos of the Boomerang 4 blocks as they're completed, but don't peek until you've received your block from me, or it'll spoil the surprise! ;-)

Just a reminder to all:
unless a member specifically states in a note with their F8 that they want their scraps back, the scraps are yours to keep
We do this swap this way for two reasons:
1). Helps build scrap stashes with fabric we may not have access too
B). It incurs more postage to mail back a completed block and scraps of material. Trying to make sure the cost is the same for everyone :-)
Any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me :-)
Hugs

Received a F8 in the mail today from quiltlin. Will have to think about this one for a while. Probably wake up in the middle of the night with a thought. Not quite sure what that thought might be. LOL. I love this. I will have to do the next one too.
Sent finished blocks to their homes today to Carsey, Janecat, Maine Ladybug, an Pattis47. Enjoy ladies.

Moonrise,
Thank you for quenching my thirst for completed block pictures. I just love to see them and wait until they arrive. I will post pics of the quilts as I complete them so you can see where your blocks went. I appreciate the extra block and I am sure the soldiers will also. The patterns are great and the fabrics look like they were made for each other. Again, thanks
Patti
Patti, I was able to get a couple of blocks finished for you as well. DH went outside to check out the road situation, and got carried away "playing" in the snow, so I sewed and sewed and sewed while he was outside! Woo hoo! :thumbup:
As per your request, here are photos of the two blocks. The first block is the Courthouse Steps pattern, and I used the leftover bits to make the second block, called Chimneys and Cornerstones. :)
I'll get them in the mail as soon as our mail carrier is able to get up our hill. Right now it's solid ice, but I expect it'll be melted within a couple of days. I'm kind of surprised the county hasn't salted it, but we live in a tiny subdivision with just a few houses, so I guess we're not on the priority list. :lol:
