Count me in, Margaret!

My girls love dogs.
2 spots for now - I'll see how many fun patterns I can find.

Shanka · 01-24-2007, 07:53 AM

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

RocketScientist · 01-24-2007, 08:36 AM

Hey Shanka! That's great! Here's Tuesday's guide for swapping in the sewing forums which you should read and reply to:

Bumping

RocketScientist · 02-04-2007, 04:14 PM

Bumping again!

RocketScientist · 02-05-2007, 04:55 PM

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?

Shanka · 02-05-2007, 05:09 PM

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!!

RocketScientist · 02-07-2007, 01:01 PM

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?

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

RocketScientist · 02-09-2007, 01:02 PM

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?
