Hi Boom sisters,
I just got back from a five week van (99 Ford Econoline) trip, visiting National, and State parks and my four grandkids. My husband and I hike, bike and kayak. We usually do two things a day My favorite is when we kayak and bike. I came back 5 lbs lighter and in great shape. I am an exercise physiologist, who specializes in Fall Prevention so this is a bit of a dream vacation for me.
My favorite parts of quilting are FMQ and raw edge applique. My boom sisters have helped me improve my piecing tremendously. I致e decided to make art quilting a priority so when I知 not doing boom blocks, I値l be doing art quilting and of course finishing up my UFO痴.
I知 working through the book The Perfect 100 Day Project. It turns out my perfect project is snorkeling in the morning and working on art quilts in the afternoon on a Caribbean Island. Anyone want to join me?

MJPEncinitas, I’m in, too! It all sounds wonderful and I’m not fussy about the island. 😀 Love snorkeling but you’ve got to watch that sunburn on the backs of the legs. Don’t ask me how I know.
I went ahead and made my first block this evening. It’s one of my favorites and it’s spot on for size. What a relief since I’ve spent the last year on 6 inch finished blocks. This one looks huge! Tomorrow I’ll make one with a white background and a color or maybe two.
Hope everyone has a pleasant evening.

Hi Terriamn. Hope you are doing well! The block pattern is one I believe I got from Bibliostone years ago (she might have posted it online) and I don’t know the name but she probably can tell us.

Duckling, great block, I知 excited to make a block to represent Ukraine.
mjpEncinitas, I started art quilting last year and made a wall hanging of Monument Valley. We visited there in the spring.
I love the Caribbean islands, my favorite sport is snorkeling. I would love to get my scuba certification.
Janice McC, great block.
I need to get my fabric photos posted. Will do that this evening. I need to go get ready for work now.
