Thanks sewbizgirl. I will be cutting and ready for the next time you have the swap. I like to be prepared before I sign up. I have a lot of health issues so I just like to be prepared prior. Looking forward to it.

Ok, now that you know this goes on every so often, you can be prepared to jump in next time. Just take care of yourself!

I sent a PM as well, but wanted the group to know mine will be mailed out on my lunch break today. The package is in the car waiting to be dropped off. I also added an extra St Patrick's day square to everyone's bag. I'm excited about this swap! And since the sewing expo is next month - I'm looking forward to getting more I spy fabric.

I realize that that this is early - but do we think we will be doing a March/April swap? If so... Will it be general again or themed? When I shop, I want to keep this in mind. Also, I have some more fabric at home, but didn't want to cut it in squares if we weren't doing another swap soon.

Kindest regards,
Tracy

Great Tracy! As for the next swap, Owlvamp has told me she is ready to take the swap back over so you may want to pm her to ask her about that. I will merely be a participant again!

I'm ready to ship, but can't till tomorrow.

Thinking of ideas/patterns....something other than a snowball block.

Anyone have ideas to share?

Hi Pinkflowers, I just sew my I Spy squares together the simplest way... like in the photo below. If you want to try some pretty patterns for I Spys, Bonnie Hunter has two free patterns on her Quiltville blog.

Scroll down to find "I Spy a Four Patch" and "Storytime Stars".

Thanks! Just sewing them together looks better than I thought it would. What fun for a young child!

Love, love Bonnie H. Princess Crown from her site looks interesting.

I added a smiley for everyone I've received and will keep adding until they are all in! Waiting on 4 more... only ONE WEEK left to get those swaps in my hands (not mail... receive.)
Can't wait to swap and send them back to you.
