A Happy New Year to everyone |
Just a thought - I'm getting ready to send my "fat quarters" tomorrow. To make sure I have this right, I'm suppose
to include: 1 fat quarter, 1 six inch signature block, 1 label with name & address, and put in a plastic bag. Place items in an envelope and include a return stamped self-addressed envelope. Is this correct? I'm not aware of any forms. Don't have access to a printer if there is a form to print out. |

Can't wait to get my FQ's I am already planning a quilt , wall hanging or table runner..

gramajo, thank you for your help. I think I've got it.....

I've got mine packed and ready to go. This is so exciting!!!
There was a hidden bonus for me in doing this. I just moved to a completely new locale and honestly, most of my stuff (including the Q-stash) is stored somewhere, in containers on the property, while we are building our house. There was no way that I could find that stuff and dig through my stash, so I had to buy it. Being new in town, I started searching for some cool stores and after a couple of misses I found one! Verrry cool! All gorgeous, imported fabrics from all over the world! Very reasonably priced! Run by a group of art quilters who tend to think outside the box...I like that! So, lucky me! It was a tiny bit hard to give up my new finds, but I can go back for more. I hope that the recipients like the FQs as much as I do. ~ Cindy |
I'm looking at the list of participants...they're from everywhere! I'll be thrilled with anything that I get, however, I'm hope that I get something from any the following places:
Durham, England - Because "Durham" is my maiden name and I have ancestors from there. North Dakota - I have ancestors from there too...Casselton, ND Baveria, Germany - My husband's family is from there (I'm married to an "Alpers"... as in, the people from the Alps) Ireland - Yup...ancestors from there too, lots of 'um. Australia - No ancestors there, but I've spent a lifetime wishing I could go there. Who knows, I might run into someone related to me...LOL Hawaii - Lived there for many years...Kauai Missouri - More ancestors Minnesota - Lots of old family from there too. I just may have family from many other places that FQs are coming from...I don't want to count anyone out. :D Thanks for doing this Carole. ~ Cindy |
I was wondering the same thing. I know folks get upset when mentioned, but there is a difference. I find that the material at my LQS is so much thicker and they have sales that are just as cheap as Joanns or Walmart but much better quality. No not a quilt snob...just like the thicker fabric so it feels nicer and lasts longer.

Just wondering if the FQ's will be quilt shop quality?

Happy New Year to everyone!
Carsey, I wish I was close enough to come help you with the swap. You must be buried in packages right about now. Thank you so much for the suggestion and for hosting this swap. It will be such fun to see the fabrics from so many different places! |
