    Our first Mad Adders meeting is October 4. Up until then, we are operating based on what the RT team has posted on his website and in FB. letsquilttogether.com

    Here is what intrigues me right now.... the form that we get to fill out

    The Manifest
    A form will be provided so that each participant can create a manifest (a guide) that states some wishes or guidelines. These wishes could be things like: preferred size limitations (due to hanging space), landscape orientation, portrait orientation, or square. Other aspects such as a “theme” (leaves, triangles, water, Halloween, etc), could be suggested. It is vital that the originator does not request too many restrictions. The more freedom the team has, the more fun the process will be—and the greater the surprise will be at the end. Source: https://www.letsquilttogether.com/sh...dders-2023-24/

    The dollar store has a laundry bag that zips that can be used as a tote and there is a draw string bag there, too if you prefer something smaller and more water proof to ship our works of art.

    I would like to suggest that we each send a small piece of muslin with our starter piece so we can sign our names if you want to add a label to the back of the project when all is said and done. If you have no muslin, a piece of light colored fabric, any color, will work, too. I know I would love to be able to bag about you all and our creation and the label will make it easier.

    So, does this mean we email or text the photos to her, and if so, we'll need to add her contact info to the list, won't we?
    I think emailing the photos will be the easier option since she is in Canada.

    I am working on gathering her info for an updated roster. Patience my little turtle!

    Wow,
    First things first, huge thanks to Patrica and Janet for their support in our venture. I love how quilters always jump in to help others. Always a big thanks to Ibex for keeping us in top turtle formation 😊.
    The zippered bag from the dollar store sounds great; may I ask which chain you saw it in?
    Getting close to the kickoff time! 😆

    Thanks all although my email is out there in the world, so not likely much of a prize! You can PM me if you want to know where to email your photos.

    Dollar Store -- everything is $1.25 here instead of $1.00. I also noticed that helium balloons have jumped to $1.50! Inflation!!

    Western Wilson, I am adding you to our roster once I get that PM from you letting me know what information you want me to add. Right now I have your first name, board name and email address. If that's all you want on the roster, that's fine.

    I am so glad you have tons of Round Robin experience. I am counting on you to keep me in line.
