2018 MARCH - SHILLYSHALLY SWAP
The ShillyShally Swap was so much fun! I thought a March ShillyShally Swap would be just as fun!! These are such nifty things to have around the house for so many uses!
For those wondering just what a ShillyShally is:
A ShillyShally you ask? Well it is simple! It is a 36x36 cut of fabric which can be used for cooling your neck to covering your lap whilst you shell peas! It can cover your head or it can be used to wipe little hands and faces! There are so many uses for a ShillyShally!
Each ShillyShally will be hemmed and the embellishing will be left to the receiver.
MARCH THEME: Fabric with Green in it or an Insect Theme! So many fabric choices to choose from!!
While your are out and about looking at all that fabulous fabric be thinking: ApRiL: April Showers Bring May Flowers!
GUIDELINES FOR SHILLYSHALLY:
1. Choose a 36x36 piece of Cotton fabric. Prewash your fabric to cover any skrinkage prior to cutting so it will be true to size. Trim any selvage prior to hemming.
2. You will put a hem around the ShillyShally using embroidery, ribbon, rickrack, lace, decorative stitch, etc.
3. You will include 1-3 embroidery floss for your swap partner to use to embellish her ShillyShally
4. Please, no other tucks required. Let's keep it simple!
5. Please post pictures of your ShillyShally when you receive it so all the other Farmgirls can see our beauties!

Here is the beautiful shilly shally that Marilyn made.
Last weekend our mail boxes were broken into. So it made me very happy today when I had 5 pieces of happy mail waiting for me at the main post office.
I'll be using my shilly shally as a table cloth Marilyn, it's much to nice to bring outside.
Thank you so much and for the tea as well!

So far mine has been used as a photo backdrop, a baby chick holder for my daughter, a doll blanket, and head wrap. How have I ever lived without one of these?
Peace & Love,

Hi Grace, thank you for posting a picture for me. I just love it. I used it for my granddaughter and my picnic that we had at the park this week. It has been spring break here so a very busy week, trying to keep up with her all week. She will be 7 next week. Thank you Grace.
Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true.
