RJR's Inaugural BOOM 2021

[RJR_38]

Go on, @RJR_38 .  Pretty please.

Hi Pearl,

I have just messaged Imi to say that at the moment with work the way it is I can’t commit to running another at the moment. Since September things have been crazy and I can’t see it dying down any time soon so aim having to prioritise - I’m sorry. I did say that if anyone else wanted to host it with the same rules etc I wouldn’t mind at all

[Iminei]

Would anybody be interested in a Summer Boom ???

If @RJR_38  explains it to me and allows me to take the reins I would be happy to host.

[Pearl]

Me.  I’d love to join in. 

Or I could make a quilt with the blocks I received last time.

[Iminei]

Anybody else interested out there in TSP land?

[Bumblebuncher]

What is a boom (she says quietly as she feels slightly embarrassed not knowing as everyone else obviously does)?

[Pearl]

No need to be embarrassed, @Bumblebuncher .  I only know because we did it last year.  It’s a bit complicated to explain but I’m sure you’d love to join in. 

Each participant buys a feature fabric. I think last year it was about 1.5m.  We cut it into fat eighths and sent them to RJR.  She then sent a fat eighth of each participant’s fabric to each of us.  We used it with our own stash fabric to make a block for each person and sent them all back to RJR.  We then received blocks made with our feature fabric by the other participants.  Yes, I know.  Clear as mud.

This might help.

Dont worry Bumbles I didnt understand it last year either ... I'll have to mug up on it to host this summer if theres enough interest

[Iminei]

Well I guess the response to this thread has told me what I need to know .... (gets her coat)

[Bumblebuncher]

@Iminei I did think about it.  Then realised a stash may be a necessary and I don't have a stash lol  But I did want to follow along what others did

I thought about it too, but as I still haven't put together all the lovely blocks from the first time around ...
