Now I just had to stop in and check things out........wish I had the time to do the swap..........

I do have a question........Is anybody going to do a Broom.............:D

Now that would be funny!! :) :) Maybe you'll find time later on, this swap has a late due date!! :) :)

Rachel

How many people are signed up and committed? Also how many blocks are they making?

So far we have 10 people signed up and, assuming that the TBD people make at least one set, we have a minimum of 20 sets coming my way. Hopefully we can get more people signed up though, still a bit till sign-ups close. Be sure to post pics as you are sewing to entice others to join us!! :) :) :)

If you want to keep track of sign-ups, you can take a peek here whenever you want:

transportation swap
 

Here are some photos of the block I made for this swap

C, they are all wonderful. My DGS would especially love the tractor, the race car... the fire engine, well, I guess he would love them ALL!

Terrific blocks!!

let me see if I understand this. I can use transportation material such as john deere tractors and just make a regular type quilt square.

I was thinking of a dragon.

Yes that would work too!! It's good to have a variety of blocks in the quits as you don't want them to be too busy!! :) My rule of thumb is I will only make blocks I would be happy to see coming back to me. If you love it, so will we!! :)

That's a really cute idea too!! :)

Rachel

Thanks for the ideas. Pictures look great. Guess I need to look outside of the box. I am psyched about this swap, as I have a new grandson that I would do this one for. I did a crib quilt for him with his birth info, but need to do a twin size now. Margaret

Yeah!! I got mine in the mail yesterday.

I am still thinking on this one. don't know if I will have time or not. but I love looking at what you all come up with.

I hope everyone is chugging along (get it?? chugging along ... hehe I crack myself up!! :)) on their blocks!! :) Please post pics if you can, this will help inspire others to join us!!

Cheers!
Rachel

ok I have bit the bullet. I will do 4 sets. I have the first one almost all done. I still would like to do a dragon but I am not having much luck in finding a dragon that I like. sigh. I have two young grandsons that I will make a duvet cover for their duvets. In australia they basically use duvets and so my daughter is not keen on my quilts at all but a cover would work well with them. So back to work on my first set. I will post pictures when i finish them.

Rachel, I sent my blocks a week ago. Please tell me you got them so I don't have to worry where they are. Thanks

They are here!! sorry I was tied up with the halloween swap and didn't check your blocks in yet. But they are safe and sound. :)

Rachel

Hi everyone!!

The sign-up deadline is approaching for this swap!!We have a small crew, so if you have committed, please be sure to get your blocks finished in time as people dropping will make it hard on everyone else!! :) If you have been lurking, please feel free to sign up, there is plenty of room and I have already seen some AWESOME blocks. I will try and take pics of the blocks I have already received at some point too. But if anyone else has pics, please share. :) We love seeing what everyone comes up with!!

Cheers!
Rachel

I found a dragon that I can make. He will be polka dot and looks real cute. when I finish one I will post it.

That's funny!! :) Can't wait to see it.

Rachel

Rachel

I have 6 sets---6 1/2 inch embroidery ready to mail tomorrow.

Mary Ellen

I am down below you in Newton. Below Exeter near the MA border. I Mailed my squares yesterday and he said you will get them today. YEAH. I will be returning to CA on Sept. 27th so you will have to mail my squares back to the addy on the envelopes.

I'll will be mailing four sets by Monday.

Hi everyone!! Just wanted to remind everyone that this mail date for this swap is coming up!! The blocks need to be to me by the end of the month. That means there is still time to sew and mail!! This is a small swap, so if you said yes to this swap, please do your best to send us blocks!! :) Sorry I haven't gotten to my PO Box lately, but if you mailed recently I am sure they are sitting there safe and sound. My plan is to check it later this week and check everyone in.

Thanks guys!!
Rachel

Mailed by blocks last week. Hope that you got them! Please let me know.

Blocks have been mailed should get them Thursday!

Here is one of the sets I made I had already wrap the other set before I took the picture and didn't want to unwrap them.

I didn't have enough of fabric as I hoped for this 3rd set but sent them any way if you can't swap then just send them back and maybe I can do a private swap with someone...If not I use them in the future...LOL
[ATTACH=CONFIG]363893[/ATTACH]
And the 2nd set is School bus and that's the one I forgot to take picture of.

Looks good!!! Just wanted to let everyone know I plan on checking in all the packages tomorrow. I am so sorry for the delay, it's been a crazy few weeks with homeschool starting back up. I always underestimate how much time that really takes!! Especially since this year I am working part time from home too. :) No worries though, if you mailed we will make sure your blocks get here before I swap!!

Hope everyone that hasn't mailed yet is working hard!! :)

Cheers!
Rachel
