Anne, I just couldn't wait to get started! We still need some more signups - but have till Feb........

WHAT MONTHS ARE LEFT, MY SISTER WOULD LIKE TO SIGN UP.

Right now we have two for each month except Aug, Sept and November, and we have 3 for December. So, we do have the potential for a total of 36 quilters. We have lots of time yet, so I am sure more will sign up as time goes by.

I would like to join, and will take november

Horray! Two for each month except August. Three for December. We are on our way for 36 quilters participating!

My sis, Pat, will take October. I'll pm you her info.

We are 26 strong now! Looking for Jan - Nov to make it 36!

Still have several months available for this Calendar Swap!

I'd like to join and I'd like July if possible and where would I find a pattern for a Sunbonnet Sue applique? And I'm a newbie

Hi and welcome to the swap! You can find several patterns on sunbonnetsue.com. I will put you down for July! Any question, feel free to post or pm me!

I have some WOC that has tiny Sunbonnet Sues on it that I would like to use for the background. Can I use that, or does it need to be solid cream?

I was thinking muslin, is that ok?

MistyMarie...I love the sampler you have as your profile pic, do you know where I can get the pattern?

I would say that if it is cream, muslin, very pale tan that would be okay. I am using a real pale cream. And if there is any little stuff in the background, works for me!

Most of the blocks were made from quilterscache.com block patterns. The blocks are from swaps, but I know the ladies chose blocks from that site to follow.

I would like to join please. Sounds like fun :)

Welcome! Would you like to take October? Have a recent opening for it.

October sounds great to me. Thanks really looking forward to this.

My friend Carol would like to join. Please let me know what month. Thanks, ponderingangel

After much enabling, LOL, I would like to join in. I really love Sunbonnet Sue and have been wanting to do one for a long time. Sign me up!

Sheila

HA HA HA I am an enabler aren't I.

Glad to have Carol join. I will give her March since there is only one person with that right now.

Hope is is ok to double post, here is my SBS with the fabrics I have on stash, she might be a bit busy with this fabric so going to get some more fallish fabrics this week and play some more.
What do ya think? Will she work?

Saw this on the applique question thread....will work just fine. Though in looking at yours, I realized that I made a huge mistake on mine.............

I no the the size of the block is 12.5 but how big are you making the sunbonnet sue?

I think mine is 7 inches or so. Im going to add some fall stuff to it also.

Your SBS can be 7" size or the larger version. What ever size you want, just as long as she reflects your month.

If there are two sewers for a month can we send our 12 and get the other sewers block for our month back? Instead of getting our own block back.

If you are referring to the apron on yours, I like it. The differences are what make this fun.

I agree

Good Idea

I like the idea of NOT getting one of our own back. Is everyone okay with this? Cuz you can ALWAYS make another one of your own if you want.........And I had another thought, it may appear that the blocks we doing are a little 'plain' on the background. Not to worry, as when we put our blocks together, we will quilt or free motion or whatever for the background.

I am going to add a bit more to my blocks once I get what I want to do figured out :)

Sounds good to me of not getting mine back I am sure I will have an extra or 2000

LOL,not getting one of our own is a good idea if we can do it.

If we have the incriments of 12, it won't be a problem at all. Right now we are working towards 36 participants.

I'm okay with not getting one of my own back, although she's turning out to be pretty cute. :-D
Deb, I don't know what the mistake is on yours, they look cute to me.

I liked your SBS she was cute

I like the iea, too. I've been reading up and watching tutorials online about applique. I haven't started yet, but I'm not so afraid of it now. I can't wait, actually, to get started. It reminds me of playing paper dolls as a kid ... my grandmother gave me a paper doll book that had cardboard templates for clothes and squares on the pages that looked like fabric, and we "made" the dolls' clothes. This reminds me of that ... and, like I said, I can't wait to start. May have some questions once I do, but I've learned that this board is great about answering questions.

You could always make an extra for yourself.

Sharon - don't be afraid! I made a huge mistake on mine, but since they are already done, with the exception of the extra things I want to put on them, I am not going to fret about it. It is supposed to be fun, a learning swap for those who have never done applique' and I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone's idea of their theme month! don't be afraid to ask questions, we have a wealth of experience to share!
