Count me in, Margaret! :)
My girls love dogs.
2 spots for now - I'll see how many fun patterns I can find.

I would like to join Margaret. Pretty please. I haven't done this before so you will have to guide me through. :)

Bumping :)

Bumping again! :)

We lost one swapper. :(

Would anyone be put off if I extended the deadline on this? It would be great to have some more participants, if possible. Or am I wishing for the impossible?

I will take two spots instead of one, ok Margaret. I am sorry for being so unavailable. Asia is ill again and we are off to Ottawa in a few minutes. I'll be back Friday. Then I will read the guidelines and stuff. I am excited about this swap!!

Pushed back the deadline a bit - if there's something that is putting you off about this swap, please let me know? Do I stink? :D

Extended deadline!

And if you're uncertain where to find doggie prints, there are a bunch of them here:

and even more on ebay - do a search on dog fabric :)

Pushed back the deadline a bit - if there's something that is putting you off about this swap, please let me know? Do I stink? :D

I would love to join, but the fussy cutting is putting me off with this one, plus I don't have any dog themed fabric on hand. My mother is a quilter, so I've emailed her to ask if she has an appropriate fabric, but I'm not holding my breath :lol:

Oh my! I didn't mean the "fussy cutting" to put anyone off! All I meant was... if there's a design which is really BIG and each dog is 5 or 6" tall, for example, then it's kind of disappointing for a swapee to receive a piece of fabric with only the bottom half of a dog on it. Most of the designs I've seen, though, have smaller dogs... and as long as one or two of the dogs are in there, it doesn't really matter if a 3rd or 4th dog is only half there. Does that make more sense? Maybe I should show examples of what I mean?

I should have been more clear. I meant that *I* don't like to fussy cut. I totally understand why it's desirable in this situation...I wouldn't want half a dog either LOL

Bumping to see if anyone else would care to join! :)

I found some dog fabric in my stash, Margaret, so I'll take a spot please :)

I'll join! I haven't posted here in forever, but I just tried another password and I got signed back on, lol. I'll pm you my info. :)

ETA- One spot for me please. :)

That's great, Amanda! Could you also please read the following post and reply to it? http://www.amitymama.com/vb/sewing-swaps/317767-swap-guidelines-please-read-before-participating-reply-signature.html
Thank you!

Is it too late for me to sign up? I would love to do this. I am in the mood for swapping lol. I also want to try my hand at making a quilt.

Hi Rebecka - I don't think it's too late, as long as the squares get in the mail by the 20th. :) Please read the following post and "sign" it. http://www.amitymama.com/vb/sewing-swaps/317767-swap-guidelines-please-read-before-participating-reply-signature.html

Thank you! Glad to have you joining the swap!

Margaret, I can take another spot if that will help :)

That would be great, Michelle! I'll sign you up for another. I may be able to fill a couple more spots as well... I've got some more fabric coming to me in the next week or so. :o

I didn't know if I needed to post the print I bought, or not. I thought maybe we wouldn't want 10 of the same print. Here is what I have ordered.
eQuilter Product Detail (http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=73142&sid=31U9Hz1jt0Iw8L5-45107112075.7e) I ordered 2 yards. This is my first quilt and I was not sure how many yards I would need. Hopefully, that will be enough.

That's a cute one, Rebecka! Two yards will be more than enough, in my experience. I usually get one or 1-1/4 yard for smaller prints, or two+ for larger ones if I need to fussy-cut. I don't think you'll need to fussy-cut for that one. :)

Bumping! Still just a little time left until shipping! If you know anyone else who you think would like to join, give them a little nudge! :)

I might join up.

Let me know how many spots you'd like! :) We'd love to have you join!

Please ship by Tuesday! :)

bumping up :jump:

Mine are done and I'm going to mail them out today:smirk:

My squares were shipped out today:) Can't wait to see all the cute doggie prints!! I love the print that I picked, hope everyone else loves it too:hbeat:

I sent mine out today. Let me know how much to paypal you I couldn't find a return envolope.

Mine are going out today...so sorry for the delay!

Received some more packages - check OP for summary!

I'm getting nervous - I shipped mine with the space squares a while ago. I hope they aren't lost!

Oh no! You have always been so generous in sending fabrics to me for the comfort quilts, too. I would have expected yours to be here by now, too. :( Did you send them with tracking? Maybe you can enquire at your post office?

I don't think so. I'm going to double check my sewing mess - maybe they were overlooked. :eek:

Nope - not there. I'm sure I mailed them, first class. Hopefully they arrive soon. (Fingers crossed!!!)

Great news, Sonya - your package arrived today! :D :D I'm just waiting on one more I think

I am going to sort next weekend, and hopefully Sam's package will get to me by then - I know she sent it! :)

I am sorry my package is taking so long. I hope it isn't stuck at customs. Please pm me on Tuesday if you still haven't received it. I am off to Ottawa Children's Hospital tomorrow so I won't be around. I am back Tuesday.

I have now received all the squares for this swap! I will be sorting this weekend. :)

Yay, can't wait to get mine!!:)

All the squares have gone out this week - people should start receiving them soon! :)
