Ok I am trying to make a signature quilt with as many far girls as I can . the way this works if you want to swap blocks with people post your name on this topic and keep a running list in your post of who you are swapping with there is no swap mom on this they are all one on one swaps. you and your partners decided individual swap dates.

I will have differnt colors on my list like red for who I am swapping with blue when I made and sent theirs and green for when I get theirs that makes it fair and every one can see where they stand please use the same system
example
list of swappers
1. sunshine mailed july 2 received july 4

I know we all need more than 1 so I figure if this is open like this people might join in after they see some swapping and people posting pictures of the blocks they get might make people a little more excited about the whole thing.

here are samples of two I have done in the past I will do differnt ones now as I like making all my blocks different so no two people get the same so no two quilts are the same.

yours can be fancier or simpler with just your screen name and real name or you can add pictures up to you.
mine are 8 1/2 cut 8 inches finished

one of these was ironed for photo and one wasn't sorry






below here is my list I will add names to it as people decide they want to swap with me please keep a list by your first entry for you to keep track of your own swaps as they may not all be the same. take care sunshine.
P.S. If I have swapped with you before happy to do it again. Just make a differnt block please add your name to all blocks both screen and real name. state, date, decorative picture optional. Also figure out your own block sizes I want 8 1/2 so they will go with my other blocks on muslin you may pick what ever size you want so I may get an 8 1/2 and you may want a 12 inch block and that works just fine. Each person states the size of the block they want and are willing to trade.

List

I like that idea. I had thought I'd try to collect enough for a quilt, but I'm so slow (LOL) a pillow may be a better plan. :)

We make a difference.
yarnmamma Posted - Dec 21 2007 : 6:06:16 PM
Michelle, I am glad to know you got it. Mail is running slow all over from what I hear. What are you going to do with the blocks?
I am going to get mine together..all 4 of them LOL
and make a pillow for my couch! I'll sit with it everyday!

Happy Holidays to my FARMGIRL sisters!

Linda, I just love the block and card. Made my day. I love your design. Thank you very much!

We make a difference.
yarnmamma Posted - Dec 14 2007 : 12:52:38 PM
Michelle...yours went out a couple days ago. :-)
Carrie....I have yours done and sitting on my ironing board. I have your address and also an envelope...no excuses for me now! LOL

Michelle-huckleberrywine
and Carrie-cinnomongirl
I finally finished yours blocks! Would you both re-send me your addresses...I'll get them to you asap!

Happy Holidays to my FARMGIRL sisters!

Huckelberrywine Posted - Dec 11 2007 : 7:11:58 PM
No rush, Linda. Glad you like it. :) I'm the last person to point fingers about delays. I know that former floss supplier threw a monkey wrench in lots of stitcher's plans. I can't tell which block is yours on Sunshine's quilt, but they are all so pretty. I know I'll enjoy yours. :)

We make a difference.
yarnmamma Posted - Dec 07 2007 : 3:46:31 PM
Michelle! Yes, I did receive it. Thanks so much. I really like it. Now I'll have to go dig yours up again...the chalk markings didn't wash out so I will have to fix it somehow. You will like it when you do see it. Sorry for the delay. Thanks again. :-)

yarnmamma Linda, I mailed you a block 12/4. Hope it finds you doing well. If all else has failed, my address will at least find you on the envelope. Sorry this took so long. Hope you enjoy it.

We make a difference.

Linda/yarnmamma, I will try again to send you my address. I've tried several times. If this does not work, then just send your lovely work to another farmgirl and maybe we can try again another time. How odd? Have a great holiday season.

We make a difference.
cinnamongirl Posted - Nov 04 2007 : 6:15:23 PM
Wow u got it already! Hopefully the slackers at post office here will put yours in my box tomorrow. GRRRRRRRRRR



Cheryl Got your block finally well worth the wait. Very nice job. Thanks Carrie
