3rd Annual Christmas Ornament Swap
 
Hi Everyone...believe it or not, it's that time of year again. This will be the THIRD annual Christmas Ornament swap. Here are the details and if you have any questions PM me.

Christmas/Holiday Ornament Swap Guidelines
1. Sign up by October 1st 2012
Mail on November 1, 2012 so they are there in plenty of time to use and enjoy for Christmas.

2. Ornament should be handmade. It doesn't *have* to be quilted, but it does have to be handmade.

3. Each person can do up to two ornaments.

4. This will be a direct person to person mailing to save postage. I will email you the person (people) that you are sending to by October 5th.

5. This will be an international swap so if mailing internationally is a concern for you, please let me know in a PM.

6. If you would like to participate, please PM me the following information:
Screen name
Real name
Address
# of ornaments that you want to swap (1 or 2)

7. Make sure that you enclose a note to let your person know who you are !

8. Please read the guidelines for all swaps on the board at this link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm

9. Have Fun getting ready for the holidays and let your creativity flow! PM me is you have any questions.

10. This is a secret swap and you will not necessarily be mailing to the same person you will receive from.

Swap has been approved by moderators.

QuilterMomma 09-20-2012 12:54 PM

Hmmmm, wonder if I want to do this again. have to check my stash of things I have and see what I can come up with. Darn, I have no UFO ronamets to put on my list, now it would be a new project, hmmmm, let me see. Did this last year and loved my steeler ornament I received. It is so cool and will of course be hanging on the front side of my tree to rub it into my neighbors face because he is a bronco fan.

brenda21 09-20-2012 12:56 PM

LOL quilter momma~ I remember you loved that ornament....you can come up with some lil thing to make:thumbup:

QuilterMomma 09-20-2012 01:19 PM

well, you twisted my arm. I have a good idea of what to make. Can't start on it till October after I finish six more UFOs for this month. Yep, 6 of them. Then I will be on track for year. Was a little slow last month and customer quilts need to be done as well. But have this in mind. may set up the embroidery machine and have it working while I am on the longarm.

cuppy 09-20-2012 01:48 PM

QuilterMomma 09-20-2012 02:14 PM

Yep, you just can't help but do two.

Tothill 09-20-2012 06:37 PM

This may seem like a silly question, but here goes.

If you sign up for 2 ornaments do you send them to two different people or 2 to one person?

Anastasia 09-20-2012 10:35 PM

I'm excited :) Getting ideas, gonna have to go back to the craft store! hahaa

marytoddliz 09-20-2012 11:16 PM

Qbee 09-21-2012 01:57 AM

I'm in.....I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!

QuilterMomma 09-21-2012 11:41 AM

So glad you ladies can join in the fun. Just love swapping with you. These are going to be so good. Now to decide what to make for sure. I have so many ideas, possible lace icicles, snowflakes, ornament covers with ornament, or an embroidery in the hoop design. I am going to just have to sit and make a bunch up anyway so will do them all and then try to decide which one to send.

brenda21 09-22-2012 07:15 AM

There are always so many unique and beautiful ornaments in this swap!

Anastasia 09-22-2012 09:55 AM

I know i can't wait! I don't have a tree but I love to create (hey that rhymes) But I'm building for my future tree. I like the idea of having ornaments from "family" even if its a make believe online family :D

lynnie 09-22-2012 01:10 PM

Im going crazy just trying to come up with something new, and not seen before.ive made my tree ornaments for over 22 yrs and need a great new idea.

brenda21 09-22-2012 02:12 PM

jacquie 09-22-2012 02:29 PM

Ms Grace 09-25-2012 06:56 AM

Ok, this will be my first ornament swap.:thumbup:
Sign me up for 2 please...I'm going to pm you.
I think I will put up a small tree in my sewing room, and hopefully add ornaments from the QB each year to fill it up.
It would make a very special tree:)

rwquilts 09-25-2012 07:04 AM

they sure can:thumbup:

rwquilts 09-25-2012 04:06 PM

I had marked some ornaments I wanted to make some time, but not 11 at one time (make ornaments every year for the grandkiddos), so this is perfect! Two vs 11 works for me! So should we post pictures as we finish them or just keep it all secret?
