I am loving seeing the new Boom's fabrics and hearing the motivations for the quilts. I am so tempted to jump in but I really can't this time of the year. I'm not retired, yet! But it is good seeing everyone gather and share their fabrics before the sign up is officially over. There are going to be some great quilt blocks made in this boom!

To any newbies lurking in the BOOM orbit, you should really jump in feet first if you have the time. It is really fun to tap into your creative energies for other people. Figuring out that perfect block for the fabrics and requests is half the fun. The other half is the challenge behind making the block you picked. And wait until you get all the blocks the group makes for you! It will blow you away!

Good evening! I’ve had two suggestions for a group name, Wrens and Bloom. I like each equally so DH picked a name from a hat and we’re Bloom. I’m sure there will be plays on the name but my favorite will likely be “Bloomers”!

I cut up my F8s tonight and cannot locate my little baggies so I guess I’ll grab my labels and start afresh. I know once I make them, the old baggies will pop up. lol.

Remember, as you cut your fabrics, you will be sending me 19, regardless of how many swappers we have. We’ll do just fine with a small number of swappers but I’m hoping for at least a couple last minute additions.

I’m off to rest. Have a good night Bloomers! I couldn’t resist.
