I missed being able to play in February so I am in for March!

I just signed up for this months swap. I am a newbie to swaps, this is my first ever. I'm nervous, yet excited.

TY Krystyna - While I love the green Irish, my family history shows that we are from the orange side - but who ever saw an orange clover, leprechaun, or anything else? LOL I think stick with the greens.

Paula, I'm sure there are orange shamrocks!
I want to welcome all the brand new swappers this month! I think we're going to have a lot of fun!

As for green ideas - I was thinking along the Celtic lines....maybe a traditional motif on a green background - but maybe I will have to do an orange shamrock just so I can say I have seen one! LOL

I don't think I'll be doing anything Irish this month. Thinking more of sneaky peeky green ... what does that mean? I do not know ...

Counting down till I get my partner. I am super excited about this swap. I have done many swaps but this is my first doll quilt swap.something exciting about a small project with scaled down blocks or a pattern. I have several ideas but have not locked in yet.

Sent my PM and read the rules....I'm in for a little green!

Just a little reminder to everyone ... please be sure that your quilts are at least 12" one way or the other. We love minis here, but not TOO mini! :p

Oh don't worry. I am used to King sized so 12-24 is mini enough. LOL

Tomorrow hubby and I will be out for most of the day meeting with a new private insurance adjuster, attorney and structural engineer to finally try getting somewhere with tearing down / rebuilding our house ... :) and :( ... don't know if I should be happy or sad. But at any rate, if anyone is signing up and doesn't hear from me ... patience please! I'll be back in the afternoon.

Good luck krystyna, what a nightmare.

Hope all goes well K.

My quilt will just be green, nothing to do with St Patricks Day or shamrocks or leprauchans. I want to try out a new block idea so will enlarge to suit a DQ. That's what I love about this swap, being able to 'audition' new blocks/techniques before tackling a large quilt.

OK. I'm back. Sort of. Awful head cold today. I guess it's my turn. The house has settled more since we were last there, but this fellow is a lot more professional than the last one. Fingers crossed.

Oh sorry you have a cold but it sounds like the house man knows his stuff

Yes, and despite the fog in my head, I am feeling rather positive. My son came over this evening and helped move some stuff around and ... mostly importantly ... he put Darlene together for me! She's a tall one! And we enjoyed trying on her wigs.

Here she is. I'm not going to name her Darlene ... but taking votes for ideas ...

You could call her Diva....

I've just pm'd Krystna to join in for March. It's been a few months since I did the doll quilt swap but as it's March, green and I am Irish that was the push I needed.

Wonderful to have you back, Linda!

I like precious I can't spell for crXXXXX tonite but sure you get it!!! But thats what she looks like to me!!!

Getting excited - only a few more days until we have partners

I am counting down too. :D

So what do most people do once you know the theme for that month's doll quilt? Do you wait to be assigned your partner and decide what to make after having contact or do you pretty much decide what you are making based on the theme?

I don't suppose you would want to call her Sandy. NOT

She really is attractive. What do you use her for? Are you a garment maker?

Anna, if it's a theme you just start stitching. If it's sender's choice, you can get in touch with your partner. Always fun to get to know a new quilting friend that way.

No. She will not be named Sandy. I make veils and had a head statue, but it didn't work for the longer veils. I also make scarves and aprons and used an antique dress for for those. When we went to an estate sale last weekend that advertised mannequins, I thought ... hmmm. Let me look up store suppliers. And you know what? Even with shipping, mannequins are pretty cheap! A lot less expensive than a good dress form. Her wigs were only $10 each.

Good Morning Ladies! Sign up ends today so here are the names I have so far ... If you want to play and you're not on the list, please let me know right away.

Watch it Lady or her name will be Ronda! :p

Looking forward to finding out who my first ever quilt swap partner is. I have decided to wait until I know who, just in case they do not like green. I think I have decided on the little quilt I am going to make. I am really excited about this.
