Hello, all you stitching ladies. How about another quilt swap now that the first one is done.
Here is what I am thinking:
1. 8 1/2" finished quilt block
2. Colors to be red, white, and/or blue with accent colors acceptable. Just please have red and/or blue as one of the colors with white or cream
3. Any style of quilt block is acceptable. You may piece, applique or embroider or a combination of these is fine.
4. Please make 12 blocks for this exchange. You will get 12 back no matter how many join in.
5. Send a large SASE with correct postage in with your blocks to me for returning of the swap.
For those who have exchanged signature blocks, this size will work with those as well.
OK, so if you are interested, please reply to this post AND email me directly with your contact info: board name, real name and mailing info, email and a phone number just in case something happens and I need to contact you quickly. Sign ups CLOSE MAY 15.
I am thinking of summer time while planning my squares. I am thinking of Sunbonnet Sue, stars and American flags, but anything with these colors will go.
DUE DATE is JUNE 30.

i think sheryllyn has her top together and Clare is working on hers. Mine...well...mine are on the ironing board with the fabric i want to use for the backing...but there it sits. Good project for cold nights ahead. |

ok, so I had a "sewing therepy" day, and have assembled all the squares. Now I just need to find the right backing. I usually stay with a solid for the back sides of quilts, but I am thinking I may go a little bold & try to find a print that is compatable with these wonderful red/white & blue squares.
Has anyone else completed a quilt with their swapped squares?

Welcome to your new home, Grace. How wonderful to have the last bit of summer and fall to settle in. I am so glad your blocks were forwarded. It was a really good swap. Once you get settled in, you will have a nice project to work on.

Carrie,
I would love to join your swap. I like the larger blocks too. I will keep my eye out for the new thread. But, if you don't here form me would you mind emailing me directly? I will be layed up the last week of August but should be fine by the week after. I find sewing so relaxing.
Clare, You did a great job of hosting this past swap. I realy love all my blocks! You are all a great group of ladies.

Oh, Carrie. I am SO VERY GLAD you got your blocks. I was nervous they would arrive safely and in a reasonable time, too. Yeah!! Carrie, start a thread for teh next swap. I am looking forward to getting going on this. I have fall blocks (different sizes, each one) from a quilting group swap and would love more to make a quilt out of them.

I would be mama for that one if yous want. I got to go out of town until tomorrow night, but if there is interest we will do it. Thursday I will start a swap. Thanks again, yous are the best! A special thankyou to Clare for hosting and helping Sunshine through her move. God bless you! |

Oh thanks for the kind words. All the blocks are so beautiful. Did someone say something about a fall swap and did I miss the boat on that?
Thanks
