I am WMUTeach, newly retired but still working part-time by choice. I have been a sewer since I was 6. I had a very brave mother who allowed me to use her machine at that age. I was always a fabric crafter and garment maker until my sister-in-law passed away and I took her tools, stash an unfinished projects so I could continue her tradition of making quilts for special family occasions. Sixteen years plus later, I only make quilts and on a rare occasion American Girl doll clothes. I believe this is my 5 year or maybe 6 year with the swap and I am madly in love with 2.5 inch squares.
Welcome newbies and hello swapping friends from previous years. Any you lurkers, join us. It is fun, relatively painless and what a birthday we have each year! |
welcome back previous members and new members.
My name is Karen:wave:. I have 5 animals, 3 cats (all under 1 1/2 years old), 2 dogs = a yellow lab and black lab and border collie mixed. Both dogs are 2 months apart and are about 3 years old. I've been on this swap going on the 3rd years now and lurked for about 2 years prior. I really enjoy the conversations, pattern swaps and yes of course the candy. I'm looking forward to another fun year with you all. Happy :sew: everyone!!! |
Hello there! I am IceLeopard and I have been lurking on this board for a couple of years. Thanks to happylab for sponsoring me for this swap! I have been quilting off and on for about 35 years and for the last 17 years quilting has been my primary craft. With the exception of a few large quilts that went to family, most of my quilts are lap quilts that go to the local VA Hospital. I love hand dyes, blenders, and batiks in bright clear colors.
My DH and I live in Maryland but we would prefer to be somewhere west of the Mississippi. We have 2 daughters, two great sons-in-law and 4 grandsons, ages 19, 19, (cousins, not twins), 13, and 12. |

About how many March birthdays are there? We got an offer on our house, and if it works out, will be moving the weekend of Feb 23-25. I'd like to have all my candies ready to go beforehand so they don't get lost in the shuffle.

Welcome to all the newcomers! My name is Phyllis and this is my second year in this swap. I have two Boston Terriers, one is Sadie (who is a lady) and Maggie (defiantly not a lady). Five children , 11 grands, and 2 great grands. I have been sewing and quilting for 30 years.
All colors of candies are welcome except I would love to see more yellows and oranges. |
Patrick's Mom here. I believe this is my third or fourth year trading birthday candies. I'm working on a tumbler quilt with the candies I've acquired from this exchange and others. I'll figure out how to post a photo when I get it done. I have been quilting 40 years. My first quilt, which I still have, is made out of jeans and tied with red yarn. I used a cardboard template and cut the 6 inch squares using scissors. We've come a long way... I live in Nebraska with my son and four cats. My candies for this year are already cut and packaged. I love all fabrics!
