Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
EDITED-- DOES A SHIP BY DATE OF MAY 13th WORK FOR EVERYONE?
Looks like no conscensus on the poll, so we'll go with 3 colors (pick any combo you'd like lol) lavender, green, and yellow.
The link to instructions from the winter swap is down a couple of posts. Still looking for suggestions on what block to do in addition to the 9 patch
You make 10 squares, keep 1 and send the other 9 to me. I'd really appreciate it if everyone would include a self addressed envelope with postage again. That has worked really well for me.
We have our 10

Sure-- it's been an ongoing swap for a year now. We've been doing 9 1/2" squares. You can choose to do a 9 patch block, the themed suggested block, or really anythiing you want to do. Then all the squares are sent into me (in this case) I mix them up and send them back so that each participant has a set of squares. Ideally we have between 10 and 12 participating, but we've been flexible on that lol. Anyone is welcome to join, we'd love to have you participate.
Here's the winter swap thread with a little more info http://www.amitymama.com/vb/showthre...t=winter+quilt
I'll start the swap sign-up tommorrow (and just transfer info from this thread if you've already indicated you're in.)
Thanks
I'm interested! I didn't vote - I think pastels would be nice. I was seriously considering yellow and green, but that might be more appropriate for summer - nice bright sunny yellow!

I would love to join in, but April is booked solid ...May would work better....I will watch this thread and see how things progress for me lol
huggles,
Trish
Can I see pictures of some of the ones you've made in the past? I might be interested.
Oh sure-- ask a hard question Marcey . I have only finished 1 of the quilts (the one from last spring) and don't have the pics from that. DH requested a "4 seasons" quilt and I have been hoarding my squares since then. I think Kathy posted some of the ones she made with the summer and fall squares (we did blue/yellow last summer and browns, reds, and yellows for autumn)
I'll try to take some pics of my squares when we get decent light in the morning. I WISH I had pictures of the one I made last spring (we did lavender and green ) I did a picnic set with matching napkins for my sister's college graduation and I love how it turned out
lol
