Calendar SunBonnet Sue Swap - Swap CLOSED
12.5 unfinished block
Cream background
Sign up till Feb 28, 2010
Blocks to be mailed by July 1st.

We will be making a calendar SBS, with each participant being assigned one month. Sue should reflect that particular month. For example, Jan may have snow or snow flakes, Feb would be reds or hearts, etc. If you have a particular month that you would like to do, please note that to me pm. I will keep track so all of the months are represented as equally as possible. The number of blocks to be made by each participant will depend on the number of participants. For example: 12 participants, each person will be assigned a month to make 12 blocks. March 1st will show all participants and the month assigned (requested). Posted block swap rules will apply as indicated by Admin. All blocks to be mailed to me by July 1st, and will be sent out in July.

Will it matter how the applique is done?

This sounds like a great idea!!
:D :D :D

I am in please!!! No preference as to the month :D:D:D

Glad to have you along! I am going to use mine as an actual calendar - know the ones that have the picture in the top frame and the month below it? I have a friend who will make the frame for me.

This sounds like fun. Count me in.

Count me in too!! This is my first swap...should be easy enough that I won't screw it up. One question, can we embellish with buttons/beads, etc.? As for the month..it doesn't matter to me.

I would say anything that will stand up to washing as some may actually be using this as a small quilt, though if some want a wall hanging or to use it as a calendar as I plan on, lots of embellishments would be fine. We can do the fine tuning when I get the entire participant list. Thanks for joining in this swap!

Any particular month you would like?

Sounds like fun!! But I need to think about it first! :D

Please sign me up. This sounds like a lot of fun. I can't wait!

I would like to do March, please.

Won't it be fun to do a swap that you don't have to worry about? :-)

Yep, make and send. Sounds good to me!

Sign me up....Faye....I am going to try & get the months printed on fabric & stitch them to each calendar page-place 2 blks back to back & make a 6 page calendar. Now why do I make myself all this work????& don't anyone dare tell me I am a crazy quilter!

Hi Deb. I'm a new member, as of about five minutes ago. I joined (after "lurking" for months) because I'd like to be a part of this swap. I'm not entirely sure how a swap works. In the end, I'll get 12 different blocks made by other people, and I will make 12 (or whatever assigned number) of the same block that I'm sending to other people?? I'm really excited about this swap.

Please sign me up too. It should be fun

There are 10 of us so far.......if you do have a particular month you wish to do, please let me know. Otherwise I will just assign a month to you March 1st. Colletta has chosen March, Laura (lbosma) has chosen Sept, Lisa (LLQ) has chosen October. If you do want a particular month, please pm me, to make sure that I know what you would like.

Count me in! This sounds like fun! Any month will be fine for me!

I would like to join the swap! Sounds like fun! What ever month is find.

Sign me up and I would like to do February or July let me know which is available

Sign me up too. Any month will due. Just need to know what size also.

I would like to be involved in the Sunnbonet Sue Calendar blocks.

I want to join the SBS swap!

If there are too many, maybe we can do an Overall Sam also?

I think I'd like to give this a try, sounds like fun! I would like February or April, if either is still available.
This is going to be my first swap, so I'm excited. Also, kind of nervous, since I'm not quite sure how the swap works.

I'd like to joun this too. I'll do what ever month is needed, let me know the details... month, how many, etc. Thanks for aranging this. I look forward to trying this way of getting a sunbonnet sue quilt done.

Please check out the updated list on page 2. This is where I will update it as more sign up! I have had pm from some of you, you have already started! (I have!!! Just couldn't wait)

If I sign up for December I have to make 6??

I would love to participate. Sunbonnet Sue is one of my favorites.

If you only make 6, you would only get 6 back. Right?

Sorry for the mistake on the math. I was thinking of something else when I posted it. You will always get a full calender of Sue's. I am hoping to always get an increment of 12 people so all the months are covered. Plan on 12 for now, March 1st I will let everyone know how many they have to make.

What size will the blocks be?

I know what SBS looks like but am a little lost on the calendar thingy.

I will Google it but if you have a particular site or sites I can go to, please let me know. Ok, I Googled this and came up with a plethora of ideas. I think a lap quilt or a wall hanging would be adorable. Will think about it.


I will confirm later in the month after I hear from you whether I will do this or not.
Thanks, Deb.

I couldn't wait to get started, so here are two of my blocks. I did the 7" SBS size. One is complete, the other is still waiting for ribbons, buttons, etc.

Looky what I found!
