I've been wanting to do this for a year!!! Let's do it! The usual swapping guidelines apply. PM me your info!


Open until Sept 21st. Ship date Oct 5th.

6.5 inch squares

PRE-WASHED 100% cotton fabric, no flannel or knits

Please send a SASE or postage for a flat rate priority envelope with your squares.

Send your squares inside a ziplock storage bag with your name/username/address/ and number of sets written on it.

Swap Organizer will check each participant to make sure they meet these conditions:

Also remember to read the Swap Guidelines Sticky to find out how to ship your item and other details about participating in a swap.

Because we want to have all of the elements represented, please sign up for which elements you want to send. I'm hoping we can get all the slots filled so we have well-rounded and balanced quilts. :) Each slot is for 30 squares of THAT particular element.

man.. I'd take a spot in each group, but I don't have any way to cut fabric right now - all that stuff is in storage. *sigh*

since I never can remember, you might want to post.. how much fabric is needed for 30 squares?

A yard works to cut 30 squares, with a little bit left over.

I'm in!! I want Fire and Earth...

-Jeannine

i'll take a spot in each

~jo

I'm sorry Jodi - any chance you can get to them in the next month?

We're on our way...

I'd like a spot in each and if you can just remind me ahead of time to ship them. You might love me but you know I forget! ;)

I think I'll make wall quilts out of mine to hang on the wall at various times. It would be nice to look at the squares from my beautiful sisters whenever I want. :D

So about 5 yards total is what I need to get? FUN FUN. This means I can make Vin and the kids take me out to shop!! I LOVE YOU!!! lol

Ok, add me. One of each. :)

Amy, it's in a pods type thing until we get a house. :(

Well, poke Selena and ask her if you can borrow her rotary cutter and mat. ;) Oh, get her to take a few slots too. :lol:

You can use mine if you want to! :bounce:

I also added a slot to each element because apparently I can't count to 30. :o

You can use mine if you want to! :bounce:

:lol: give me a space in each - I'll talk to Selena and see if she's got a rotary cutter and mat I can use, and if she doesn't, I'll plan a road trip down to use yours. :lol:

Hehehe - I'll use any tactic I can to get you here for a visit. :D

Whoo-hoo! It's a new record for me. I got my squares cut today and since I had your address already, they are going out tomorrow.

WTH? You've got a newborn, are you trying to make us all look lame? :lol:

LOL - I'd ask if you'd let me borrow your cutting stuff, but you're a wee bit too far.. I'd hold the baby for you though :)

WTH? You've got a newborn, are you trying to make us all look lame? :lol:

No, I just haven't gotten any sewing done in weeks and cutting quilt squares was about my speed. :p

I have a mat, ruler and rotary cutter, you can do it at my house if you wanna :)

rofl.. I just looked here and see my name being used in vain...sheesh... and after I so kindly offered up my cutter and mat!

sigh...you all just want my fabric... I see how ya are...

;) :lol: :hahaha:

anyhoo, I am totally totally unreliable right about now for everything so as much as I would like to get a 30 squares I will never sew because I suck at "real" sewing ;) i will just sit back and drool when the squares and final products are show... HINT HINT HINT I MUST HAVE PICTURES!

LOL - ah, come on.. we'll do it together :)

I need to drop all spots. We're probably not getting into a house until January or so (if we get the house we want), so I won't have a sewing machine until then, etc. Eric pointed out that spending the money on fabric I can't use would just be a silly thing to do.. and I can't come up with an argument otherwise.

I'm sorry Jodi, that stinks! :( I removed your slots.

On another note, I received Hastings' squares...we are gonna have one beautiful quilt!!! :)

Can someone post this on Sewing Mamas? I'm swamped and have to run right out today!

10 spots left!

Anyone willing to take more of the slots? Shall we go ahead with the empty spaces? Delay the shipping date? Tell me whatcha wanna do!

I can take one more spot... maybe Air to even in out.

-Jeannine

I would like to take one spot on each element please.:)

Great - I took two more as well...so we're down to just two left. :)

I'm headed out this weekend to find my last yard for "air". I hope you all like my choices!

-Jeannine :)

If stars count as cosmos/spirit, and if I don't have enough for all of one kind (like if I have 2-3 kinds making up those 30 squares) count me in for one spot?

That's great Margaret, got you on the list.

Those fabrics are pretty Jeannine!

I'll take the last spot, water. ( I saw the cross post in Sewing Mamas.)

Gotcha Sunny! :)

While the "rules" for swaps are 100 post minimum, this type of swap shouldn't be an issue and I know you've been at Sewing Mamas for awhile now. This board is a bit more quiet, but we do some fun things too! Welcome to Amity's!

We're closed and fulled up now! Ship date is October 5th!

Hi mamas!

I'm working on getting these buggers cut... I might be one day late shipping as we are really really busy this week. Is that going to be a HUGE problem? I'm still trying, they may get done sooner than I think :)

~jo

Jo that should be just fine. :)

I'm in the same boat. My local quilt shop closed and I didn't see anything that I like at JoAnns. I'm on the hunt for a good fabric for "air" today. I will do my best to ship tomorrow.

Thanks,
Jeannine

Updated with received squares! Thanks mamas!

nak
amy, mine came packed with the squares for Gaga (my mom, Chari) I didn't wind up sending a prepaid envelope because of the wacky estimates I got before I sealed the package- may I please paypal you to ship ours bac together ?

thanks!

Sorry I didn't look closely, just saw they were from you. ;) Yes you can send paypal for the shipping back and I'll put them in the same envie. empathicheart@comcast.net

Waiting on Jo, I PM'd her this morning!

Still waiting to hear from Jo...

:juggle:

Jo will be shipping today...she's had some health issues and is VERY apologetic for her tardiness. I told her it wasn't a huge deal and to just send them anyway. These quilts will be gorgeous!

They're still not there? :( I paid priority shipping from Tome which should have then gone through Los Lunas to Albuquerque and then out of the state and it should be there!!

I'm so sorry everyone, even once I send them out you have to wait. I promise not to join anymore swaps.

I did get them Jo, they came on Saturday. :) I've been sick, so slow to ship to everyone but I hope to this week!

Oh you won't hear one word from me about time shipping hun. lol. I'm sorry you've been sick though. Let me know if you need anything okay?

I also owe you paypal for shipping back to me so whenever you feel better just give me an estimate and if there's any difference in the cost you can just keep it or put it towards one of the billion things you are always working on. ;)

I'm sorry mamas, I'm so lame. Life has gotten pretty nuts lately, sick kids, trade shows, my own personal physical and emotional breakdowns and breakthroughs and last week my step-brother passed away.

I have all of the squares, I need to sort and ship. If you haven't already paid for shipping, please send funded paypal to empathicheart at comcast.net I will work on this through the weekend and hopefully get them in the mail early next week.

Again, I am very sorry I've been the hold-up on getting these beautiful quilt squares to everyone. :( :o :eyes:

Don't sweat it, mama... Take care of your self and get to the squares when you can.

I'm sorry for your loss.

-Jeannine

Everyone's squares have gone out except Hastings', just waiting on shipping from her and they will be on the way too!

Thank you all for your patience, and enjoy the beautiful squares! Please post pics when you're done. :)

I got my squares today! WOW... that are awesome.

Thanks to everyone!!

-Jeannine

Glad you're pleased, there are some *beautiful* prints that everyone picked out! Hope it was worth the wait. ;)

I got my squares today too - thank you so much for letting me in on this one! :heart:

Mine arrived today too. Thank you so much for doing this. :)
