Needlecase Exchange Number 3

Hi Everyone,

Our as the last needlecase exchange was successful I thought I would organise another! So come on – join in and have some fun. I thought about setting a theme but I just though that would limit creativity so there is no theme or limit.... only your own imagination!

Okay here are the rules:-

CONSTRUCTION:-

1. The case does not have to be quilted, although it surely can be, but it must be handmade - not shop bought.

2. It must be made of 100% cotton fabric or wool felt. Embellishments and pretty’s are very welcome as is applique.

3. The size and shape of the case is up to the individual creating it, but should not be smaller than 4” x 3”.

MANNERS: Please remember to thank your partner. Just a simple post is great. Please also let me know when you send and receive so that I can mark my records and make sure everyone receives a needle case. It would be great if you could post a picture, but if you are unable to post a picture, please ask your partner to do so. Much of the fun is seeing everyone's creations. Also, please understand that this board has members with differing skill levels and you will not necessarily be sent to by somebody at the same level as yourself...... so, love the creation you are sent, whatever the standard of sewing, piecing, quilting. We all started somewhere and the most important ingredient in our creations is love!

PLEASE PLEASE REMEMBER TO LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU MAIL AND RECIEVE!!!!!!

PARTNERS: You will be allocated a recipient in this exchange. You will send to them, but they will send to somebody else and so on!

EXTRAS: This is a secret exchange so please please ensure that you put a card in with your exchange so the recipient knows who has made it. If you can, give a few details about yourself.... it is lovely if we can get to know each other a little better. This exchange is for a needle case only. It is not necessary to put other items in with your exchange but you can if you feel you would like to.

SIGN UP: Sign up begins today and ends 30th August 2012. I’ll will assign partners as early after the cut off date as I can and I will let all participants know who their partners are as soon as possible.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all needle cases to be mailed is 30th September 2012 so there will be plenty of time to manufacture your creation. This is a written in stone deadline. Please get proof of posting so that we can try to trace lost packages.

Now for the fun...... to sign up please fill in these details and PM me

1. Name

2. Address

3. Email address

4. Favourite Colours

5. Can you post internationally?

6. Do you have allergies?

7. Do you have pets?

Hugs and looking forward to another fun exchange!

If this is a new swap, count me in. I really enjoyed the last one.

I don't mean to offend anyone but would it be possible, to ask whether or not the person is a smoker? Some of us have medical issues, concerning cigarette smoke.

Hi Neesie,

Most people let me know if they smoke or have smoking in the house....also, if you put cigarette smoke in the "do you have allergies" section I will make sure to pair you with somebody who is smoke free!

Having said that.... I would be happy to know from people if they have smokers in the house!

Hugs

Caroline

The last one was soo much fun! Count me in! Maybe I will finally figure out how to post a picture from my IPad :)

Go to the very first post and click Caroline's name (on left, in bold print). That should result in a drop-down menu. Click Private Message and then give her the info requested, to join. The easy way, is to copy the list of requested info, then paste it into the PM (private message). Then you can just fill in the info. :)

I haven't seen this thread come up in the "RECENT TOPICS". Just am wondering why? I can only find it on Members swaps and round robin.

Please add me to you group. I'd love to be in on the exchange. Sending you PM now!

Hi Guys,

Just a note to let you all know that sign up has nopw closed and I will be allocating partners this evening..... then I have to PM you all seperately to let you know who you are sending to.... so please be patient with me.... you should get your partners details in the next 48 hours!

Hugs

Caroline

Hi Everybody,

You should all have your partners by now.... If you have not received a partner tonight please let me know asap as that means I have gone wrong somewhere.... which I can tell you is easily done - LOL LOL.

Please guys - remember to post on time and let me know when you post and when you receive.... just a quick PM will do. Also, please please remember to put a note in with your needlecases as this is a secret exchange and not everybody sends to the person that sends to them!

Finally, please thank your sender when you receive your needlecase... it's just plain old fashioned manners to do so.

Hugs and have a fun exchange

Caroline

WhoooHooooo! Got my person. :thumbup: Thanks, Caroline!

Thank you,got my partner about two hours ago, pulled out fabs started making your needlecase. I hope you can post a pic for mr, i don't think ill be a le to.
hopefully, it will go out on thursday. I waited to get you so i could match your colors. Have fun everyone.
Now for the pics to start being posted. Yipee.

My needlecase is swimming west of me. My brother was born in that state and I have a cousin who lives there.

Mine went out today...post master said it should be to you
by the end of the week. Please post a pi for me.
oh, its heading west...but then again, i live on long island ny
so just about anything is heading west. Ihope you like it.

Mine is on it's way to Texas....who lives there???? I'll post a pic as soon as it's received since my pal's name is on it so it would be a give away.

Soooo... who's west of long island, and likes blue
by the way,blue is the most popular favorite color, lol.
can you guess

I'm west of Long Island AND I'm in Texas!!!! They're both coming to ME??? :D

Got the fabric for mine, today. Just wasn't getting inspired, by anything in my stash. Yeah, that's my excuse, for a trip to Hobby Lobby!!! :D

Got my name yesterday and her likes. I had one needlecase already done in pastels but this person
needs something different. Finished it up a little while ago. I will be sending mine out either Friday or Monday depending ...

I think what ever color you make they will like . I have had mine made for awhile its just a coincidence the colors are her colors. By the way I guess a lot of needlecase are headed to Texas at lest 2 maybe 3 .

Caroline
