Time to celebrate fall and harvest! :)
Once again, single theme fabrics celebrating autumn. (I'd prefer all leaves, but I'm open to other suggestions.)
6.5 inch squares - 30 per fabric
PRE-WASHED fabric, please
Let's try and ship by September 15 so we can sew in autumn, not winter. :)
Please send a SASE or postage for a flat rate priority envelope with your squares.
Also - some of the most helpful things from the last swap I hosted - send your squares inside a ziplock storage bag with your name/address/ and number of sets written on it. This helps with sorting immensely. Also - a couple of the envelopes were torn in shipping to me last time - the one with the plastic bag held together much better!

I'd like two spots please :D

just squares of leafy autumn-ish fabric, right? ...not piecing or applique or anything fancy, right?

If I've got it right, I'd like 2 spots, also, please :D

Gotcha both! Yes - just plain squares - no work aside from the cutting.
All the embellishing can wait until after you receive your squares. :)

Can I have 3 slots please?

did anyone else do the math? I've figured that I should be able to get 30 squares out of 1yd of 44/45" fabric. Am I correct?

Two slots for me, please.

I've always been able to get 30 squares out of one yard. HOWEVER, that is *only* if I'm not fussy-cutting. If I need to get a certain part of the fabric on center (ie eagles or zebras when I was cutting for ABC quilts), then I always buy extra. I'm sorry I can't remember whether I bought a whole yard extra, or only 1/2 yard. I think what I did with the zebras was ask the cutter at Joann's to help me figure it out.

I don't even know why I'm saying this. Because most likely, with a leaf pattern, you aren't fussy-cutting. Right? :)

Must be due to my increased wordiness of late. :D

May I join in for one spot.

Gaga

Can you put me down for one spot too?!?

Thank you!

I'll take at least 1 spot for now. thanks!

Hi! I'm new, always read but never registered.

I would like to join the swap two slots please.


Allison

any room for me? I'd like one spot :)

Allison
Hi there Allison :D Pleased to 'meet' you :)

2 spots please. :)

Updated! :)

Sonya, can I have 2 more spots? I'm going fabric shopping tomorrow so I held off on mailing your swap pkg so I could mail it all to you Monday.

You bet, Danielle! Have fun fabric shopping!

Sonya, I was looking through my stash and I have 3 different leaf fabrics but none of them are enough for all 30 squares. If I put them all together I *might* have enough for 60 squares though. Would that be appropriate for the swap? And if I can get all 60 squares, could I have two spots? Sorry if this is too much to ask for.

Margaret,
I'm fine with that. It shouldn't hurt my sorting - just make sure and send me a note telling me how many sets I should return to you. :)

Hi there Allison :D Pleased to 'meet' you :)

Hi wasn't sure where to post an intro-

I'm Allison Mom to 5 daughters ranging in age from
26(had when I was 16), 14,9,5 and 3 1/2 months.
We live in Kansas City, Kansas. We are co-sleeping,breastfeeding and cloth diapering. I love to sew but my machines been lonely lately. I figure maybe in a couple of months I can get some sewing done. I need to for Christmas. I've always lurked and finally decided to registered.


Allison:waving: :waving:

1 spot please :D

Margaret,
I'm fine with that. It shouldn't hurt my sorting - just make sure and send me a note telling me how many sets I should return to you. :)
OK, then put me down for a second slot please. :) I measured the fabrics yesterday to be sure I really did have enough, and started cutting last night.

I would like 2 slots please...I think I understand the premise. Send in 30 squares of fabric per slot, receive the same number in return. Right? :D

newbie quilting question
We are sending prewashed fabric right?
My fall fabric is already washed and ironed, but I don't mind shopping for more, lol

Copmom can have my spot.

Have fun ladies. What a great idea these swaps are.

ok, now I'm wondering too as I usually do not prewash fabric for quilts. I like that old fashioned, puckeriness that results from quilting before washing for the first time.

I bought my fabric and am planning to cut in the morning. I can wash it first if that's what is preferred.

I need to add one more spot for a total of 2, thanks!

hmmm, I always wash mine, uh oh! i guess we need to decide beforehand! :lol:

I'd prefer prewashed, just because you never know what kids have been walking through the fabric store picking their noses and wiping it on any available surface, YK? But I prewash all fabric that I buy, before it goes into my stash closet. :)

I never wash mine either :X oops. ROFL

Prewashed please - I think that's been our usual request in the past. I'm sorry if I didn't mention it.
I'll update the OP.

ALSO - we have hit 30 sets! Woohoo - a complete swap!

PM me for my address whenever you are ready to ship.
Thanks!
Sonya

gotcha! doing laundry at the moment anyway :)

I dug my fabric out, here's what I will be sending for my 2 slots:

My package was mailed yesterday. Should have it by Monday.

OM goodness Jessica - I think those are two of mine as well. Good thing I'm hosting - I can shop and cut after everyone else's squares arrive. :)

LOL< great minds must think alike! I have some acorns too, could do those instead of one of these if that will help.

No need to change yours. Autumn leaves are one of my favorite themes, so I'll find a use for what I have and get to shop for more! :D
Thanks though!

Is there any room for me??? I was just checking in to see if this swap had started yet, only to find out that it's already filled up. :(

Please let me know if I can join. I can ship this weekend if need be.

-Jeannine

Jeannine,
You can have my 4th spot. :) I can always add a spot later if something comes up and someone is unable to ship.
BTW - I'm loving my red purse! It's just the right size for me.
Thanks again!!!

Oh good... Thank you for letting me slip in to this swap. Fall is my all time favorite season and I am excited to get started. I just need the mailing address for my squares and I will be sure to ship them ASAP...

-Jeannine

I'm glad you like the purse. I really enjoy doing those little purses.

Hey, I think I better back out of this one.

Copmom you can take my spot for your 4th.

OH NO!! I missed this! :eyes: I didn't see it on the sewing board for some reason - darn new babies :smirk:
Anyone want to spare a spot for me? I'll go on equilter right now and order a yard! :D

Please, please, pretty please? :)

Okay - because I had a second to do so, I went on equilter and bought a yard in the hopes that some kind soul might offer up a spot here on the swap. It's AWFULLY pretty! Don'tcha want a square? Huh? Huh? Don'tcha? :smirk:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/myseoulchild/HOCOL3RN.jpg

Just teasin' - no big deal if you're all full up. I can *always* find a use for it. :D

Sandra...I'll give up one of my spots for you :) (2 even, if you'd like 2)

Sonya, I mailed the other package without the fabric. The fact that the fabric needed ironing was more than I could bear. LOL! I just couldn't bring myself to be timely about ironing. I can manage to drag out the ironing board before the 15th though :)

One would be LOVELY! :D :smooch: Thanks, Dannielle!

As soon as my leaves arrive, I'll wash and cut and send them out! :)
Can someone please PM me the addy? :)

I can spare one too, if someone else needs/wants a spot! I have two, I don't mind sharing :P

Changes made - 1 Danielle spot became 1 chasingche spot. :)

Was just wondering if your received my pkg yet??

Gina - yes I did! :)

Here are my two fabrics...sorry for the pic...

http://i1.tinypic.com/2dk0os5.jpg

I would love a spot !!!!!Fall is my favorite too and of course I found this waayyy to late!!!!!!! I could have them shipped for monday !!
Anyone??? Anyone????
I cant seem to find the icon that represents utter desperation!!!! (wink!!)
Amber

Amber, I can spare a spot for you. :)

When I signed up I was thinking of making a throw but I've downsized my plan to a table runner ;)

Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!
Thanks Dannielle !!!
Could someone pm me the mailing address????????????
I have been inspired!!!
Amber

4 days left! :p

ACK! I'm going to be late shipping, I know it! We have 50 people coming over this weekend for the baptism and I still need to cut! :o

I'll do my best to send it by Monday, Priority. Hopefully I'm not holding it up! Sorry, gals!

OR - if you need it ASAP, I can ship today but it would be just the big piece of fabric and someone would have to cut it.

No worries - I haven't received many yet - looks like quite a few people are in the same boat. :)
PM me for my address when you all are ready to ship!

Did you receive mine? I had sent it awhile ago, but never checked in.....

I sent mine last week. Did you get it?


Allison

I'm sorry Ladies - A good friend died this week and I haven't gone near my craft area. The received are now updated.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry Sonya. :eyes:

I've been sicker than a dog all week, so I'm cutting and hope to ship today. I'm pretty sure I have your addy but would you pm me with it all the same?

I'm sorry Ladies - A good friend died this week and I haven't gone near my craft area. The received are now updated.
((((((((((((((Sonya)))))))))))))))
I'm so sorry hon. Please don't worry about us and our squares, take the time you need. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm a day late (typical ROFL), could you PM me your addy?

I'm so terrible, I completely forgot about this swap! I will mail on Monday if I can get the address I'm to send to PM'd to me. TIA!!

Pm'd my addy to Empathic~Heart, Tuesday, and SoyCandleMommy - hope you got it.
I'd like to get this wrapped up as soon as we can. A friend is coming down early next month, and we're going to be making memorial quilts for my lost friend's children. Things on my end will definately slow then.
Thanks everyone.

I forgot about it as well. Mine will hopefully go out tomorrow, along with the other stuff I've got for you.

I'm so sorry, Sonya.

mine was sent on Monday.Hopefully you will get it by next week!!
Sonya,I couldnt get postage for the return envelope.Let me know and I can paypal you asap. Thanks !!! Amber

mailing today...I apparently have issues realated to ironing fabric. :rolleyes:

I apologize for my pokiness. I've had "crafty tunnel vision" lately and seem to be blocking out all but the project at hand.

Mine are out! :o Sorry so late.

The upside is, they're SUPER soft once washed. I can hardly believe the fabric is so nice and buttery now. :heart:

checking in to make sure mine were received.

Wondering who else we're waiting on! I'm anxious to see all this beautiful fabric! :)

we've all been so sick - I haven't gotten around to cutting or anything. With our schedule tomorrow, I probably won't make it to the post office before it closes. Should I send Monday, or drop?

We're waiting on Hastings, soycandlemommy, and you, so if you want to ship Monday, that's fine with me. :)

Oh - and I didn't send a SASE with mine, so please let me know what I can PP and where for return shipping :)

I think I just had one set. :)

my rotary cutter broke last night. Not sure what the heck happenned to it, but I can't another until next week, so I can't cut the fabric. I'm so sorry, but I'm going to have to drop. :(

Please send my set to Margaret in memory of Michelle's husband, Chris, who passed away this morning.

She is putting together a comfort quilt for his babies and his wife, and I'd like for it to be as big as possible so that they can all fit underneath it together.

Hastings - soycandlemommy
Can you let me know if you are still sending/have sent squares? I'd like to get these sorted and sent.

Korwynne -
I'm sorry to lose you!

Chasingche -
I can send them to Margaret for you. What a nice thing to do! Did she post about the quilt on the market board? I'll have to go and look!

Mine came in the mail today, and they all look great! Thanks so much to everyone who participated, and especially HUGE thanks to Sonya for organizing and sorting!!

yah! tahnks so much sonya this was a great one! I love all of the fabrics, soooo pretty! who sent in the one with leaves on brown swirly background? where sis you get it? I was thinking it would make a great back for mine... :)

I got mine too and LOVE them all :D This was a GREAT swap! Thanks for another great swap Sonya!

What a lovely surprise to come home to a mailbox full of autumn quilt squares. Thank you Sonya for your time for this swap.

Thanks Sonya - and all mamas who sent the pretty choices!

Mine arrived yesterday and I love them!! Thank you, Sonya, and all who participated.

I have to say my favorite it the one that is just a bunch of small acorns. So cute!

Thanks Sonya! The squares are beautiful!

Allison

I got mine and was made aware a bit late that I made mine the WRONG SIZE! sorry everyone:wah:

but y'all picked some beautiful fabrics, SO nice :)

Mine arrived and I love all the beautiful fabrics. I can't wait to make my table runner.

I got my squares yesterday. Thanks so much for all your effort, Sonya!

The leaves here in UpState NY are beautiful and I am so inspired to work with my new squares. All of the fabric is great.
