Get ready for those crazy, lazy, hazy days of summer and join a Summer Table Runner Swap.
SIZE: Minimum runner size is 12x36 inches. You may go larger. For this swap we’ll do actual runners rather than “table toppers” that are round or square.
IMPORTANT DATES:
* SIGNUP ends Sunday, April 18, after which you will be matched with a swap partner. You may start sewing at any time -- you do not have to wait to get your partner’s name. However, you must send me a PM in order to get on the sign-up list.
* MAILING DEADLINE is June 1 to mail your table runner to your partner so it can be used during the summer months!
MATERIALS: Use 100% cotton fabric. Be as creative as you want. Use any blocks, colors or fabrics that suggest summer to you: seashells, flower gardens, popsicles, watermelons or ladybugs. You may want to use citrusy bright colors or soothing pastels. Maybe red, white and blue and fireworks is your idea of summer! Make it lighthearted or elegant – just so it says SUMMER!
This swap is for a finished tablerunner -- top, batting, backing and binding. You may quilt it by simple stitch-in-the-ditch, echo quilting, hand quilting or decorative machine stitching. Do whatever your skill level allows.
LABEL: Please add a label to the back of your runner, or at least include a note to your partner with your Quilting Board name, real name and contact information so they can thank you. And please be sure to thank the person who sends a quilt to you!
COMMUNICATION: If something comes up and you are not able to meet the deadline for mailing, or if you need to drop out, please let me know as soon as possible.
Please PM me if you would like to join the fun! If you are willing to swap international, please indicate that in your PM.
