Hey ladies!!! I have all of the twists swapped. I will organize sets tomorrow and Monday. There are a couple of duplicate fabs, just an FYI. Also, everyone will get one of their own fabs back as well. These are amazing fabrics!!!!!

lauriejo 03-03-2013 06:57 AM

Yippee!! I can't wait to see what people found. There are always so many fabrics I've never seen.

girlscouts1 03-03-2013 06:53 PM

Just so you can start thinking about the next one...

April – June’s swap theme is “Farmer’s Market or Fun on the Farm” 6-1/2” squares, up to 6 sets. Think anything that you would find on a farm or at a farmer’s market. Ideas would be: eggs, chickens, milk, cows, fruits, veggies, trees, honey, bees, tractors, seeds, flowers, farmer, barn, barn doors, etc. Get creative and have fun!!! -- I bought mine this past weekend!!! Will post pics when the new thread is up either the end of March or first of April. :)

Well funny that! he he, I just sent pm wondering what your next one would be! I am in I have some really really cute farm fabric! I just finished a tee shirt quilt using farm equipment as boarders! So I am even stocked up! I love making tee shirt quilts, they are so awesome, and nothing my customers like better than to see their own shirts on a quilt!

LOL...I should send you some of mine to do for me. :) I'm saving a bunch of lil man's shirts as he gets bigger and some of his lil outfits that I am NOT getting rid of. That will eventually be turned into a quilt for me to cherish forever!!! :)

I completed a quilt with baby clothes on it last month. The lady that commissioned me to make it is a OB/GYN nurse and works in delivery, great free advertising for me. She had saved her children's favorite clothing (she has 3) and I had so much fun making it! I think my specialty is doing memory quilts, I love them and might be a little weird but honestly the items of clothing just emit a energy that you capture the personality of the person. OK I get the weird award this week!

I make enough money doing memory quilts and tee shirt quilts to get to travel to see my grand kids! but I really love doing it! I can't wait to get the farm stuff going! I hope it is ok if I say this but I am using some John Deere fabric. I know there are a lot of different fabrics out there but would hate for you to have a ton of duplicates!

Those will be fine. :) I'm excited about the farm fabs too. There are so many different options. :)

Quilt Novice 03-04-2013 11:26 AM

The farm swap is such a great idea! I have at least 3 fabrics that would be perfect for that swap. Wish I could sign up early.

Yosamitesa 03-04-2013 02:48 PM

I'm glad y'all are excited!!! :) Gonna be FUN! :)

Yosamitesa 03-04-2013 04:26 PM

marytoddliz 03-07-2013 05:48 PM

I love them! Wow that was amazingly fast! I can't wait for the time to actually play with this fabric! and my Farm fabric is CUT~ Ok I am a little on the crazy side of life but I love patches of fabric so much! You know there is not enough room in this house to have a lot of big pieces but it is big enough to have TONS of little pieces~ Now i am going to look again and pick out my favorite!

SheriR 03-07-2013 09:42 PM

You're amazing missy!!! I love all the cute transportation blocks! Thanks everyone!

Yosamitesa 03-08-2013 04:39 AM

DoriDeS 03-08-2013 11:43 AM

OH I was so excited today!!!!! my son just brought the mail in and tada!!!! a package from Texas!!! thank you so much Yosamitesa!!!!

sustraley 03-08-2013 03:50 PM

Wonderful fabrics everyone. Thanks so much Yosamitesa. Great job!! Looking forward to the next one.

marytoddliz 03-10-2013 08:15 AM

I just have to know who had the tennis shoe fabric and where did you get it! I love it and I want it! hehe. I have a quilt I made for myself out of my early running shirts. I used the breast cancer fabric for back ground and sashing in spots, but the next one I make I want to use that Tennis shoe fabric! How perfect it will be. I have been looking on line but haven't found it yet~

Yosamitesa 03-10-2013 09:44 AM

Let me look through who sent what and see if I can find it.

squires1042 03-11-2013 12:30 PM

I received my package on Friday, my 22 month old grandson had fun as we went through telling me what was on each block. All the ones with flying stuff and boats are in one pile and all the ones with cars and and trains and bikes are in another to make him an I spy backing for the roadway quilt that he is getting for driving his cars on.

Thanks Everyone. Now whats the next one going to be.

Yosamitesa 03-11-2013 05:31 PM

Next is farm fun/farmer's market. Anything you find on a farm or at a farmers market. Thinking about posting next week, what do y'all think?

Quilt Novice 03-12-2013 03:30 PM

Thank you Yosamitesa! This was a such a great swap!

Jannie 03-13-2013 03:27 PM

Oh, no, next week is to long to wait. I vote for yesterday!

marytoddliz 03-13-2013 08:15 PM

my farm fabric is waiting for the word Yosamitesa, I am excited about the farm one, Charleigh, likes all the animals that live on a farm. The Mamas and the babies. I think at pre school they had a lesson about spring time and all the new babies being born on the famr!

Yosamitesa 03-14-2013 01:51 PM

Alright...I'll post tomorrow. :) Just please be patient with me over the weekend. It's my anniversary weekend. :) Yep...got married on St. Patrick's Day!!!

sustraley 03-14-2013 02:53 PM

Ready to sign up and cut and send. How long until tomorrow? Happy Anniversary. Have fun.;)

marytoddliz 03-14-2013 05:21 PM

Awe, what a great Anniversary day! Ours is Pearl Harbor day! One I never forget, it is also the date my Father passed away. Dec 7th. I am having so much fun cutting my farming squares I got carried away and made a batch of 2.5 inch ones and 1.5 inch ones.

I am making a family tree quilt for my Mom's 80th BD and I am going to have a blast with it! It will be a blessing of her life. Most of her children will be a branch on her tree, and the grand kids and great grand-kids are going to be leaves. But I am adding another dimension and putting butterflies, birds, a car under the tree, a picnic table, flowers. They will be friends and family members that have passed on. I am not sure how I am going to do this yet, but the picture is starting to form in my mind! I will post pictures in the picture thread or my own albums. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated~ I am using a few blocks that I got in the transportation swap!

Yosamitesa 03-15-2013 07:26 AM

Alright!!!! Y'all win!!! New swap is posted!!!
