Beautiful traveling grandma...you did a great job. I will side swap with you.

oh so pretty me too i am up to some sides and will sidw with you any time

Wow paper piecing is intimidating and also frustrating for me. I love the look but boy oh boy its not my friend. I think a class is due in that unfortunately me and classes are not happening so until then I will admire from afar.

Lovingrandma I hope you find some helpers for you. It sounds like a simple help request thats all and no trade backs surely there are some with time who would gladly assist you. I will take four. just not rushing to return them until I get my boom finished next week I think give take and they will be finished minus the unsents yet. Urgodschild a woman in distress surely you can take four too?

Here is the blocks I had gotten earlier in the week from TravelingGramma and Moonwork. they are lovely. I also finished the quilt from the last Boom for the Animal Shelter. Back up to the sewing machine now.

Update for my "frwappers"...that's friends and swappers combined! Surgery on my thumb joint was Thursday and today (Saturday) I almost feel human. Pain management is under control (somewhat) and I can sit here and pick out the fabric and patterns for the rest of the F8s, and do a little 1 finger typing and texting! The splint comes off on the 25th and a purple cast will go on for 4 weeks! Qll of your grown up blocks will be done and mailed out on time!
