Welcome to our Wall Hanging Swap!

You have 4 months to make a wall hanging of your choice.

Size and Type of Wall Hanging:
Smaller than a lap quilt but larger than a mug rug.
Use any technique/ any style / any colors.
Embellishments are a fun way to add to your wall hanging if you like

Sign Up list

There is no deadline.
The Sign Up list is just to see who is interested in joining us.
The only list that counts is the Ready to Mail list at the end of the 4 month swap.


Ready to Mail list
Ready to Mail list will be posted the middle of June2018.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addresses Sent Out:
I will be sending addresses to each swapper at midnight of the last day of June!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will then send your wall hanging to the quilter who's address you get.
You will receive from a different quilter than the one you send to.

This is not a partner swap.

Important!!

Please send me a pm when you mail and when you receive!!
Only those who send me a pm to let me know they are ready to mail will be on the mailing list.
Anyone who is not done on time may enter theirs in the next swap.


Please Post Pics of:

Your fabrics
Embellishments you are using
Progress pictures
Finished wall hanging - since noone knows who gets what -not even me-there is no surprise ruined by posting your pictures.

Prewashing or not is up to you

I hope you decide to join us and have a lot of fun!!

We really need some more international members to join us. It would be so much better to have more people to match up for the international swappers.

So if you know of anyone who is international share the swap with them and see if we can get more to join in!

I'm working (slowly) on something called a watercolor quilt...lots of small pieces, but I'm using a styrofoam board and it really helps. Pictures to come in a bit.

marscrafter 03-17-2018 01:15 AM

Hello! Add me to the list. I'm excited to find some pretty fabric to play with and maybe try some new techniques.

I ran across some cute prints that were screaming my name for this wall hanging swap. I'm off to go iron the fqs and see if I can get some piecing done.

How is everyone else? Finding any fabric or patterns that you are loving?

-marscrafter

Linny 03-20-2018 03:51 PM

Your fabric choices are so pretty marscrafter. I’ll be checking to see what you decide to create with them in the coming weeks.

skaduzy 03-20-2018 05:17 PM

I haven't got a clue as to what to work on yet :eek: Lots of ideas are rolling around in my head but I haven't been able to grab one fast enough :D. Soon I hope!!,!

ube quilting 03-21-2018 10:04 AM

I am working on a pattern from a picture I saw, figuring the dimensions of the units and final size, in between shoveling snow. Seven inches so at 2PM with the rest of the day to go. Still need to pull fabric.

Pretty fabrics "mars"

m-fay 03-29-2018 03:58 PM

I'll sign in again too but I may have to pull out. Winter is garden time. We get rain and everything rejoices and the weeds grow and then Spring comes and with it the flowers etc. Love my garden but its a battle over summer with water restrictions keeping everything alive.

LindaC 04-02-2018 11:26 PM

Armylady asked if I would like to join this swap as you are short on international swappers. I am currently in rehearsals for taking part in a dance/sing off fund raiser for Breast Cancer Ireland and don't have much sewing time at the moment. As soon as that is finished I could start on a wall hanging so I should be able to take part.

You're very welcome to join us Linda. I know everyone leads busy lives that's why I made this swap a 4 month time limit so it is easier to fit it in to everyone's schedule. You just need a wall hanging ready to mail by the last day of June! And if you don't get done in time you can use it for the next swap.

Yes I would like to get more international people to join us. It is easier to match people up when there are more playing with us.

notmorecraft 04-07-2018 11:39 PM

Armylady asked me to join, count me in will pm you info

Wonderful assortment of fabrics. Anxious to see wha they become.

Irene C. 04-09-2018 04:56 PM

I'd like to join, I have a new applique book.....can't wait to pick something out of it. It's got some lovely ideas.
I've had the flu the last three weeks, finally on the mend and sewing a little bit :)

ube quilting 04-10-2018 02:06 AM

Welcome Irene. Glad you are mending from the flu. Getting our energy back is a good feeling.

It will be nice to see some applique. I haven't even picked a project yet.

glad to see you gals are keeping the conversation flowing along!! I am excited about having new people join in and adding to our international members is a bonus! Thanks Armylady!

Armylady2012 04-10-2018 05:49 PM

Your Welcome, I am still looking to see who else I may be able to ask.

Rhonda 04-15-2018 10:28 AM

I've never actively looked for people to join in the swap. It's always been self sustaining so to speak. but it is great to have more international people. I like to keep the variety as mixed as possible but hard to do when you only have 5 international swappers.

I sooooo appreciate both international and US swappers!! You have all been wonderful now and over the years. I couldn't have a successful swap with out you all! I"m always amazed at how long this swap has survived! I had my doubts when I dreamed up the rules and conditions. but it has really worked out well. I think Patrice thought I was nuts when I presented the idea to her. She gave me the go ahead and that was back in the fall of 2012.

This swap was the outcome of my getting tired of answering questions like Can I use my entry if it is 2" over the posted size? or Can I do multimedia? or I'm sorry I won't be able to send (this at the last moment) or someone just didn't follow through and then we had to scramble for an angel item to replace the one that never arrived because that sender backed out and didn't tell me. As any host who is familiar with these things knows these things happen in most swaps.


so I decided on the time frame. I debated on 3 months or 4 months and decided on the quarterly approach. then no limits made sense. No need to ask me if it is too small or too large. No need to agonize on if it is appropriate for this swap. I don't mind answering questions but some are just annoying when you've answered and explained a number of times. so this way there's no problem!! Anything goes!!

I started out with putting names in a list and having the top one send to the next on the list and so on. Problem with that is the international ones don't work that way. so I used to just pull names out of a hat. LOL but that had problems too. Ube had sent to skaduzy several times so no I don't want her to send to skadyzy again so soon. or someone wanted to send close to home one time and I had to consider that.
so it has evolved into my balancing who is the best fit for whom.

I'd dearly love to send the one you want to you but it just wouldn't work LOL everyone might want the same one!!

AND ON GOES THE SHOW!! I hope you all have fun making wall hangings and enjoy the fellowship of like minded quilters!!!

ube quilting 04-15-2018 11:27 AM

I have enjoyed every swap since near the beginning of it. I have a wonderful collection of small quilts to display throughout the year and enjoy them all. Thanks Rhonda for keeping the swap going.

All the players are wonderful.
peace

MarionsQuilts 04-19-2018 04:23 AM

Some weeks I have tons of time, others I'm scrambling! But I always love to come on here and read and see people's progress and projects (and Ube's stunning wildlife pics!) I will be joining again ... and I will ensure mine is done super early, so I can mail internationally super early too!

m-fay 05-23-2018 10:35 PM

Today in the mail I received my WH (Nov-Feb) from Marions Quilts. Well worth the wait, I love it and all the fat Qtrs and bird fabric and magazines too. I have taken photos on my I Pad and will put them up next.
