It is supposed to be fun, a learning swap for those who have never done applique' and I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone's idea of their theme month! don't be afraid to ask questions, we have a wealth of experience to share!

If I sign up for a month then I only make 12 of that month is that how it works and we have until July to make them.

I have updated the list on page 2 as there were a few more requests for changes and drop outs. Please make sure I have your name on the month of your choice. Remember, you only have to make 12 and it will be a true swap, as you will not get one of your own back. I am curious to see what blocks any of you have started! We are almost to 36, and are still open for sign ups till the end of Feb. Can we hit 48?

Hi everyone! Just an update, have had some questions on the block. 12.5 unfinished, washed fabric. SBS can be any size of your choice, the larger one that is usually seen or 7". Background should be a light color, cream, beige, tone on tone, some have asked about white, off white would be preferred. SBS should reflect your month's theme. 12 blocks due by July 1st. Applique any method you are comfortable with, satin stitch, blanket.... Please send with a return pre-paid addressed envelope. This is a true swap, you will not receive one of your own in return. We currently are headed towards 36. I will update the sign-ups as they come in. Questions are always welcome!

Ok here is my block for August Sun Bonnet Sue. I have the pattern bonded on and now just have to applique her on!
I was so excited I had to show you... I love Sun Bonnet Sue. I am going to make 13 though because this is my first every Sun Bonnet Sue and I want to keep one for me!
Once I have her appliqued I will repost! Sorry the picture is sideways, I will make sure when she is done she is upright.
Also the background may look white but I assure you it is offwhite/cream. I wanted to be sure of that when I got the material!
