Merry and Diane, got your name on the list.
Diane, that was very nice of you! I am sure Dutchy loves them. She sure does love her Pink! They would make a nice table cloth. Or a patchwork apron? There are so many things you can make with these charms.

Linda, one day you will have everything orginized the way you need. Things take time. I will post photos of the first few sets I receive. Kind of like a teaser. Then of course, like I did with the pinks, I will post a photo of all the charms I receive just before I sort and mail. Just because you don't or can't join in does not meen you can't enjoy a few photos. I too like to see photos of other swaps even if Im not involved. Do you have a mat, ruler and rotery cutter? They are important tools to modern quilting.

Melanie and Melissa, your names have been added.
Melissa, as long as your fabric in not Neon or Bright/loud. I kind of think of the colors I would see on a walk in the woods or the view from a Kentucky mountain over looking a 150 acer farm.

This is sooooo coool! I knew that if I kept searching, I could find other farm girl quilters! I'm so happy to find you. Please add me for 5 sets. Is there a quilting thread or is everyone just spread out everywhere?

Janie, Jonnie and Mary, Thank you for joining!! Happy shopping for more fabric!
Jonnie, Welcome to my swap!!! There is not a "quilting" thread. We are kind here in the Stitching and Crafting room. Just keep looking and reading all the topics.

Thanks, Kathy! I've been "roaming" around. I'm interested to see how the swap goes. I've participated in them with my guild, but never on line. Are you a quilter or just a fabric lover?

Merry, I have increased you to 4 sets.
Jonnie, I like to call myself a quilter. I enjoy hunting for fabrics and looking at patterns. I also enjoy swapping quilt blocks and charms. I have made a number of quilts. Now, they are not award winners, but they are warm. All my quilting is done by machine. Most of the tops I have completed I sent out to be finished by a long arm. And then, I normally donate them or give them away. Are you a part of a quilting guild or ASG?

Kathy I too send mine out to be quilted I would love to have the machine but they are way out of my price range. One place I love to donate is our little town usually has a raffle going on for some one that needs some help. I love that people bid on them and get a good quilt and help the cause of the raffle.
