DOLL QUILT SWAP GUIDELINES

SIZE: from 12”x12” to 24”x24”…any size or shape in between.

MATERIALS: natural fibers/cotton, wool, linen

EMBELLISHMENTS: if you want to use them, feel free…beads, rickrack, buttons, doilies, ribbon, lace….anything or nothing at all.

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliquéd, wholecloth, or yo-yos; quilted by hand or machine; and bound.

LABEL: It is recommended that you attach a label to the back of your quilt. I know, this can be a bit scary for some people though, so it will not be a requirement. A label is however a very nice addition to any handmade quilt. Whether or not you decide to label your quilt, please do include a note with your quilt with your quilting board name, real name and contact information (snail mail address and/or email address, etc. so that they can thank you).

PARTNERS: You will be paired with a partner for this swap. You will make a quilt for your partner and your partner makes one for you. Feel free to discuss color considerations, likes and dislikes, etc. between yourselves. You will also be responsible for securing delivery addresses.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all quilts to be sent is August 31, 2009.

COMMUNICATION: If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or you need to drop out of this swap, please let me know as soon as you know. If you communicate any setbacks with me I can make sure things work out favorably for your partner, no hard feelings.

SIGN UP: Sign up begins today and ends Tuesday, August 4, 2009. I’ll assign partners after that date.

If you would like to sign up, send me a PM or reply to this thread. Please let me know if you are willing to send internationally as we have several members outside of the US.

Here are some links for ideas:

count me in Chele

Like I said on the other thread, I'll duck out of this one as I'm on hols for half of August BUT I'll be watching to see everyone's beauties, and I'll come back in if there's one in September! :D

I'm in!!

Count me in.

i could do internationally also.

I'm in- International shipping is fine by me.

Hmm..........Ok, twist my arm......I'M IN!!
Doesn't matter where I ship!

I've never made a doll quilt, is it hard??

Susic...they are really easy.
Check out the pictures of them.
They don't have to be intricate. Can be strips, blocks, anything you put together that you like and think your partner will like.
What's best about this is....you can ask your partner what colors she likes, so that helps too! I didn't ask mine only because I wanted it to be a surprise for them and they loved them!

You can peruse thru this thread and find some pics

Thank you!! I have been following that thread and have seen some amazing quilts! I've not done anything smaller than a wall hanging, but can see a lot of possibilities. It would help knowing favorite colors, etc.

Please count me in, I can mail internationally as well.

HA!
Another victim! :) :) :)

You go Terri! You are a wonderful recruiter! Your description was top notch. I hope it entices others to join. Newbies are always welcome. And of course our veterans are especially encouraged to join in the the fun again. You guys make some beautiful quilts. I'm always amazed!

Aw, thanks Chele!

I like them because they are really quick to make. That is IF I don't do like the one that K3N got lol
But, they will sew up in an evening and really are cute!

Right now, I'm looking in my 501 Quilt Block book to see what cute blocks I can find. All the blocks in that book are 4 inches, so I can come up with some really cute designs.

Ok, VICTIMS! WE NEED MORE VICTIMS!

Opps, I mean....we need more people to join!
Come on peeps! They are fun to make!!!

Count me in again Chele. I love these little quilts. Having different partners each time is great. I can do International too. Overlander/Barb

Ok I can't find it. What did k3n get???

I'd like to join in on the fun

I can't find the pic at the moment.
It's a mini Baltimore Album.

I thought the word was "sucker"... we need more suckers! ;-)

Count me in!

I like victims better because they will get hooked!
Sort of like fishing.....:)

It was kwhite got that beauty - not me! :cry: :lol:

oops, sorry!
Why did I think it was you?
Hmmm......maybe too many "k"s to think about.
Hey, at least I was thinking about you. :) :) :)

I'm in

I'm so nrevous about my first doll quilt(july). but yes I'm hooked after just one!! so count me in again :lol:
Star

Star - I am waiting with bated breath to receive your little quilt. They are all so lovely - from beginners or old hands at the quilting needle. Glad you are in the fun again. :)

OK, you talked me into it. I'm in.

We didn't hurt you when we twisted your arm, did we? lol

Ahhhh....another victim! lmao

No Terri, you just put a spell on my computer and it locked up. I was only able to get out of this post when I joined the swap.

Woo hoo! 17 already signed up. And lots of newbies, which I love! Where are all the veterans? You guys too busy? There's always September!

I have been wanting to get involved on a swap! Count me in!

I"m in :wink:

Aha! So my magic wand IS working! lol

All I can say is that I just finished my top for this swap about 10 minutes ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited, I'm not even waiting to find out who I get. And, it is soooo adorable...Can't wait...:)

I haven't started mine as of yet.
I know what I want to do, I think, but then again, not sure.
I know I want to do prairie points or scalloped edge again on it. I love the way they turn out with those....so cute!

That is what I was thinking. I can't imagine another quilt being as beautiful as the one I got from Terri.

Go Esqmommy! You are fast! And I know your quilt is adorable! I hope I don't have to wait long to see it! Way to start the fun!

Ok, I'm closing my eyes and jumping in with both feet!!!! Count me and my machine, Suzi in. And I'm good for shipping where ever.

How can they not be adorable...this is the coolest swap - I'm hooked before I started - seriously. I love every single doll quilt I've seen!!

and i said the next one I would have one done before i sign up :lol: that was funny considering it has taken me down to the wire to finish this one! :oops: But I hope Overlander loves it

These really are too too fun. Yeah sign me up.
