This is a great newbie swap, all swappers send to me, then I send out groups.

Each participant will make needlebooks for the number of those signed up, send to me, then I will divide them into groups once they get here and ship them out and each participant will have that many needlebooks (*that* many being how many sign up LOL)

This is easy to do, a quick search online will find pictures of all kinds of needlebooks for inspiration...here's a link to one example:

although, most I see have "pages" to slip the needles in.

Whatever style you choose, is fine!

Sign Ups will go until the spots fill up OR the 22nd of August.

I am opening groups of three, and we'll take as many groups as we can fill :D I'm hoping something simple like this will entice newbies and lurkers :D

Group
1. Tuesday
2. Brianna/Mamanaturale
3.Jennifer/Webbeccjo
4.Stacey/Maegansmama

***************UPDATE****************
Signs ups are closed, we have a group of four. Please make THREE (this is not including ourselves) and ship the to me (I'll PM my address, or you can ask for it if you are ready to send before I get to PM you, lol...which is likely), and then I'll divide the groups, post shipping charges and ship BACK to you :D (Shipping should be SUPER cheap on this LOL)

Post if you are interested, OR have questions :D

That looks really complicated to me, Tuesday! I guess I'm too chicken to try this one. Plus I'm not sure what I would do with 1 of them much less 5 or 10. My hand-sewing needles are stuck every which-way in the strawberry part of my pincushion I had from when I was a child. And my sewing machine needles are kept in their respective holders until in use or broken - snapped into multiple pieces because I'm not careful enough with my machine. Broken needles happen on a regular basis.

Just didn't want your post to go reply-less, so I had to add my very few cents here. Though lots of words. Lots. Because if I don't then my mod-tag etc will overwhelm what little gems of wisdom I might impart. or something like that.

I just never seem to be able to type quite enough to have the message dominate those tags. I tried earlier this week, but no go. Juliebelle caught me out. Maybe this time I will be successful!

OMG ROFLMBOOOOOOOOOO baaa ha ha, you are SO STINKIN' CUTE rofl...I love ya'!

I know...I don't know what I'd do with ten either, rofl...but I wanted lots of opportunities for others to participate ROFL

Maybe I should do two groups of 5, or three groups of 3?? I'll see if anyone (at all) is interested ROFL

((((((((((((((((((((((Margaret)))))))))))))))))))

I would be in if the groups were smaller, like 3?

Okay, I changed it, :p...not really thinking ahead there I suppose ROFLOLOL

So, ya' in?? ;)

I'm in! Have you posted in the regular sewing board? there never seems to be much traffic here...

YAY! Alright :D Jennifer, I'm adding you now!

and just to let you know upfront, I signed up to too many swaps this past winter and had to drop most of them, tho I did complete a few. I had 2 really late regular swaps too, but everything was made current/shipped/received and posted.
And I would really love to do this, :D
I could use 3 needlebooks, 1 for travel, one for my craft area and one for my yarn area :D

bumping :D
These make great gifts :D
um, if no one else signs up can we do a group of 4 please :D

Sorry I'm late replying to you mama LOL...things were hectic through the weekend, and into the week here too (clearly ROFL)

As long as you don't have any outstanding transactions, there's no trouble, especially since you are sending to me, then I divide, kwim?

I'll add you, and then we'll have one group of four, since the cut off was last night and no one else has signed up :P

thank you!! woohoo!! I love the needlebooks from the crafters threads, those were incredible!
