amitymamaThe Attachment Parenting Community

mum2conor · 07-28-2005, 11:09 AM

DH and I were talking last night about what AP has meant to us and how much we have learned about ourselves and parenting, etc. We've come so far as parents and have a lot more to learn. I don't have any support for the ap lifestyle from my family and we ahve few ap irl friends.

So, all that to say, I would love to do a quilt to celebrate attachment parenting. I was thinking we would all design a square and then make identical ones for everyone in the group. It could be anything that is meaningful to you about ap. I like larger squares, so I was thinking 10" squares, but I am open to other suggestions.

eta:
we are doing 10 10.5 " squares. You also need to do a 4x4 sqaure for the back that tells about your sqaure including who made it.

The list of swappers is:
rockerscientist
meemee
mum2conor
sagemama
tydytykesmama
hastings
tulanemama
babydreamer
jenilyn
maiden comfort

ship date is september 15th, pm me for my addy when you are ready.

I'm not all that great at piecing squares, but I would totally love to be involved with this quilt if it's OK to simply cut out squares of cloth to send. I have a material in mind.

I don't plan on pieced squares either. I have an embroidery design in mind for mine. That is one thing I think will be really fun is that different kinds of sqaures that people will design.

I'm in, I have something in mind as long as the number of participants isn't too high, or maybe something slightly simpler if its a big swap

I'll do it too

I love my quilt from the spring swap!

Oh I'd love to join. Maybe I'll paint something

oh, I too have a great idea for a square I want to sign up- but not if the numbers get too big. Right now I can only handle making about 10-12 squares....
