Well, just downloaded a bunch of ideas and patterns, so far doesn't look like anyone has what I'm thinking of making! I am jazzed, will start on this tonight!! I need to start excavating my halloween fabrics, and fire up the printer for some applique and paper pieced designs!
This is going to be FUN!!!

Sniff! Wish I had an embroidery machine! Mine will be machine stitched applique and paper pieced. However, I keep finding more and more designs and I've already changed my mind several times!! Decisions, decisions.

I finally have my 2 sets done and hope to get them in the mail this week.This is the first swap that I have been in. It was really fun getting the sets together. But there are so many cute Halloween prints out there it was hard to decide. I would send a picture, but my computer isn't working right. I have got to get it in this week. I have been putting it off for far to long. Cant' wait to see all the blocks. I love the ones I have seen so far.

I am working on a tutorial for the spider web throw. It was so fun to make. I will let you know when it is done and ready to post. I will need to get some more sweatshirt fleece first.
So how was your vacation Rachel? Did you have a great time?

Hi everyone!!
Sign-ups for this swap end in about a week and a half. Here is the official list of who has signed up:
http://www.quiltingboard.com/groups/...2-g15-d62.html
If your name is not on this list, please send me a PM so i can be sure to get you my address and make you all official like. There is still plenty of room, so if you have been lurking, please feel free to jump in!! Remember you have 1 month from the date the sign-ups end to get me your blocks.
Also as a suggestion as people are getting ready to mail. On the last swap I did, pretty much every person's sets could fit in one of those flat rate mailing envelopes for $5.15. Some people paid as much as $12 to send a package regular mail when it could have fit in one of those. If you go to the post office, you can buy a $5.15 stamp, put it on a flat rate envelope, put your address on the envelope and fold it in half and mail it to me with your sets. This makes my life a little easier when mailing and you will have the cheapest mailing rate this way.
Cheers!
Rachel

Howdy! I have a paper piecing question! I was lurking in another swap, and the rules are to leave the foundation paper on the block. Well..... umm.... I made up several blocks last night and being anal retentive, I took the paper backing off three of the blocks. What is the consensus of the group? Would you prefer to get paper pieced blocks with the foundation paper still attached? If so, should I make up 3 more blocks with the paper attached when I send them in?
