Hi everyone,
I’m looking forward to hosting the 9th Traveling Craft Box! I have lots of supplies that are looking for a good home and I’ve always had fun swapping. I’m new to swapping here with the Farm Girls but I’ve swapped a lot on Two Peas (a great scrapbook board that’s no longer around).
We’ll limit this swap to 10 swappers and sign-ups will be open through March 29. Our first box will mail out April 3rd.
Here’s some information about our swap:
We’ll mail using a large flat rate box, so shipping ($18.85) will be the same for everyone. When you receive the box, please post here and let us know you have received it. Let’s shoot for a 5 day turn around; post when you have shipped it on to the next person on the list. Please include the tracking number as it will be fun to “watch” our box travel.
If you are interested, please post here. I've updated to include those listed in our earlier thread - I think I've included everyone:
1. darlenelovesart - Darlene - received and sent :)
2. churunga - Marie - received and sent :)
3. levisgrammy - Denise - received and sent :)
4. forgetmenot - Judith - received and sent :)
5. Audra Rose - Vanessa - received and sent :)
6. Beccalou - Rebecca - received and sent :)
7. Ginger Dawn - Ginger - received and sent :)
8. Ladybek9756 - Becky - received and sent :)
9. LauraBell - Laura - sent and received :)
We are going to close this at 9 so we can get started. I’ll include the mailing list in the box so when you get the box, please cross off your name and send it to the next Farm Girl on the list.
I've already picked up our box and can't wait to get started filling it up with fun supplies for you all!
Laura

Hi Darlene :)
I think the box went to you first - it's on the first page of our thread. I do hope to host again but it will have to be in the fall. I have a summer full of orientation and summer camp travel for my kiddos so I know our days will be full. Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hi crafty friends!
Yes the box has made it full circle - I picked it up Saturday morning but haven't even had a chance to open it. I had a quick trip to Chicago for work and came back just in time for our first big orientation program at work. I am so looking forward to checking out the box and look forward to some future crafting.
Thanks again to all of you - my first swap hosting experience has been a lot of fun.

This picture shows the bracelets I made from polished stones I gathered at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. The top bracelet was from Hobby Lobby, the middle is a chain with bails I got with my sister in Minneapolis (hi Sis!)b and the bottom is from a kit I got in the first Travelling box. I knew I'd used it sooner or later!

Yea! So excited that our box is making its way to everyone! Hope you all have had a good weekend so far. Haven't made much time for crafting lately but I am going to work on putting my retreat stuff away tomorrow and hopefully that will motivate me. Last weekend I made a trip up to visit my daughter and help her get settled for summer sessions so now I have a house full of her stuff but not her :(
Enjoy your Saturday night :)

The sloth pattern intimidated me :( so I am working on a cute little Christmas quilt in the meantime. BOM is a block of the month. It was 2 squares for 10 months and then putting it together the last two months. I started it in 2012(!) and am just now done with all my squares. My sister finished hers ages ago so I really feel the pressure :) I have the window quilt all cut out - I love to cut out quilts here because they have such lovely high cutting tables. We head home tomorrow so it's back to reality.

I would love to see your sloth pillow, I love Sloths. What is BOM in quilting.
Your Venetian window sounds pretty.
Have a good day Laura.

Morning :)
My sister and I have a small group of friends that we retreat with twice a year. They are all amazing quilters! They are just so fast it amazes me as I sit and just listen to their sewing machines fly! I go much slower than they do. I have been finishing up a Craftsy BOM sampler - I got the last square hand sewn together last night and I squared up the 20 blocks so I could sew on the sashing today. I've also cut out a cute quilt that is called Venitian Windows - it will have fuzzy chenille outlining in all the squares. I hope to get a sloth pillow done for my daughter to have at college this summer. Very ambitious goals for me! I will keep you posted...
