Ladies,
So lets get back on track with a BANG for the Fourth of July Dish Cloth swap. Red, White and Blue!!!
We are having so much fun making dishcloths, think about joining us!!
For those new farmgirls, we knit or crochet themed dishcloth in a holiday color or pattern or even shapes now, you girls are getting very creative!!
Sign up for July....This month will be flags, and the spirit of the great country we live in. Sign Up until June 17th . Partners Posted on June 18th .
At that time you contact your partner with your address. Please try to do it as soon as possible.
Mailout will be no later than June 28.
So many cute patterns for free on Ravelry, google search or even all the yarn companys. Also a suggestion that was made early on and I will mention it again for our new farmgirl sisters and new to knitting and crocheting. Cotton based yarn is the best for dishcloths, acrylic doesnt work well with water etc. Cotton bamboo blends are good as well, just more expensive.
Requirement is one dischcloth per partner, fourth of July goodies and kitchen tucks added at your will!!

Hi Diana, I love knitting but have very basic skills at this point. I can't produce anything too fancy, but I'd love to participate if possible! :)

Dang! I got my yarn and know what pattern I want to do, but there's landscape cloth at home waiting for me to help put it down so the bark mulch can be delivered!!!!! I would rather be crocheting!

Please sign me up for this swap. I love making dishcloths and am a collector of anything American or Americana. But, then again, I love America! Thank you so much!! Hey, Amy, how are you? And, Marilyn, how are you, also? Let the 4th of July Spirit begin! :)

Glad to see we have a few more people signing up! I did some air travel over the past week and got another dishcloth done -- it was fun to do a knit one after all the crochet ones I have been doing recently.

Am I right or wrong??? I go to the post office at least twice a week. Priority mail is SUPPOSED TO BE two day delivery. I think I saw something that said Three day Priority. Is that correct. I did not ask because there was a long line behind me and only one worker bee.

Yes, sometimes priority is 3 days, depending on the location. I can send to Massachusetts faster than eastern Idaho from California, both using the same priority mail.

Hi Shelba, your tracking number is 9505 5110 5078 5173 5626 14. It's supposed to get there Wednesday, which I think is the day you're leaving, so I hope it gets there first!

Thank You Marilyn for the wonderful package! I love the dish towel, your sewing skills are fabulous, I will wear the flag pin this weekend and your dish clothes are very patriotic!
Hugs Julie

The USPS is doing good, I am glad you received your package, and thanks for letting me know. My dish cloths are puffs because they fit older hands, I have been using them for a number of years. They usually last a couple of years before I go to the stash for new ones.
