    YOUR CHARMS ARE IN THE MAIL!!!  
 (12/28 update)   I will be sorting all charms the evening of January 10th and mailing them on January 12th.
***WE STILL HAVE ROOM FOR MORE SWAPPERS***!
Blocks are not due to me until the 31st of December. Plenty of time if you would like to join. No sewing involved in this swap. NO glue or paint either
Would anyone like to do a charm swap?
The charms would be 6 1/2 inch blocks. 100% pre-wash cotton. (Why pre-wash? Fabrics have a lot of different chemical on them. Some people have allergies. Also, 100% cotton likes to shrink a little. If you can't pre-wash, then press your fabric with a healthy dose of steam before cutting) Fabric is to be of the calico family. Calico is a small flower print. If you are not sure what calico print is, try one of these sites for samples
http://ftp.gotfabric.com/SearchEngineCatalog/calico-flower-print-quilt-fabric---pink.htm.
http://www.gotfabric.com/SearchEngineCatalog/SearchEngineCatalog/calico-rose-print-quilt-fabric---pink.htm
I am sure we all have calico in our stash. For each set you might need less then 1/3 of a yard
Each person would send me 10 each 6 1/2" blocks of the same fabric.
You can send up to 5 different sets.(50 charms of 5 different fabrics)
Let me know if you would like to swap. We can then pick a mail-by date. (ALL PACKAGES SHOULD BE TO ME ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 31)The more that plays, the more sets that can be swapped. The more sets that are swapped, the more varity of charms you will receive.
1)yarnmamma 2 sets
2)beverley 5 set Received 10/30
3)Aunt Jenny 1 set
4)soapmammy60543 3 sets Received 10/30
5)nicie 2 sets Received 1/2
6)Cheryl 2 sets received 11/26
7)StitchinWitch 5 sets Received 10/30
8)Pearlsnjeans 2 sets Received 12/22
9)EagleNest 5 sets Received 1/5
10)khartquilt 5 sets finished 12/11

12)hillbillyheaven 4 sets Received 11/5
13)lucylou 4 sets Received 11/26
14)countryroads 3 5 sets Received 12/11
15)
Put all your sets in one sandwich bag. And please put your name on the bag. Or pin each set together with a sticky or slip of paper with your name.
Please remember to send a self addressed postage paid return envelope. (or at least send a few dollars to cover the return postage. I have plenty of envelopes.)

Here is another photo of my charms.
May camera does not do justice to the charms.
And here are a few purse patterns that I have.
I think when I have a few hours, I will make the mini charmer bag first.
enjoy!!

Hi Kathy, I received my blocks last week too and they are beautiful. This was fun, just can't decide what to do with them yet. I make alot of fabric totes and bags. They would probably work well in some of them. One of my Granddaughters has a birthday coming up...maybe Emily will get some worked into a new bag! Thanks Kathy!

Hi Kathy -- I received my blocks also. I'm so sorry they were cut small. I wish you had emailed me and told me; goodness knows I have enough calico to have cut more.

Thank you all for joining in this swap. I hope to see you all and maybe a few more next time.

sooo exciting!! I must have gave you my work address instead of my home address...(too much time spent at work and not enough at home!) came in today and the ladies up front said you had a package come in yesterday--never dreaming it was my charm squares. I was doing the happy dance all over!! They are so so so beautiful, cannot wait to get creative!! Thank you so much for all you did Kathy and thank you ladies for the absolutely beautiful collection that I now have!
hugs,

OK OK....
I have decided to mail these out this afternoon. Yes one day early. I dont thing I will be receiving any more charms. So....they are off to the post office.
Now..I was a little tired last night so please count your blocks. If you recived an extra one, well thats ok. But...if I shorted you one let me know.
I will be at a class tomorrow making a round quilt top or table cloth. (that depends on how much I finish and how big I make it) I will then be going to the fabric store for more, yes more fabric. Fabric to me is like air, I need as much as I can get!!
If you have a problem with what you received, please email me off line.
Other then that, I had a terrific time hosting this swap. I truly love all the fabric choices you have made. Everone did a fantastic job on getting them to me on time. Correctly packaged. You all did a great job. Thank you so much for joining my swap.
Please let me know that you have received your packages.
Have a great weekend!

Mary,
I received your charms yesterday! The buttons gave me an idea.
In place of quilting the top, I think I might use buttons and yarn. You know, tie the buttons on at each intersection. Leave string tails. I don't know if that would make it too heavy. Or if they would be uncomfortable.
I can't wait to start putting together my quilt top. Well I can't wait to completely open each envelope I received and start sorting them either.
