As always, rules for this swap also agree with the general guidelines for all Quilt Board Swaps – Read here http://www.quiltingboard.com/member-swaps-round-row-robins-f11/rules-swaps-similar-activities-updated-8-december-2010-a-t20154.html SIGN UP: Easy As 1-2-3 –4-5
Partner Assignment: Partners will be assigned on February 1st. Bookmark this thread for partner assignment – or find your partner at our Group Home herehttp://www.quiltingboard.com/groups/...group-g14.html Mailing Deadline: You must have your quilt in the mail no later than February 28, 2014. If you do not think you can meet that deadline, you might want to wait a month or two until your schedule frees up and you don’t feel pressured. DOLL QUILT SWAP GUIDELINES SIZE: Doll quilts can be between 12”x12” to 24”x24” or any size or shape in between. If your finished quilt measures 24" x 26", or 11" x 13" it's fine. No worries or excessive rules for this swap. MATERIALS: Most participants use cotton, but you can use any other natural fiber like wool, linen or silk. EMBELLISHMENTS: Let your creativity rule. Add beads, buttons, ribbon, lace, rickrack, or whatever if you feel like it. Or add nothing at all. It’s up to you. CONSTRUCTION: Pick your technique. Doll quilts may be pieced, appliquéd, wholecloth, quilted by hand or quilted by machine. All quilts should have binding. LABEL: Please add a label or sign your quilt on the back with your name and the date. It is a wonderful record of your work and years from now, it will help your partner remember who made this magnificent work of art! If your quilt is reversible and you don’t want to sign it, please include a card or attach a removable tag with your Quilting Board name or real name if different. MANNERS: Don’t for get to thank your partner. A simple post on the thread for the month is terrific, but a PM is nicer still. Please leave feedback for your partner. HELP YOUR HOSTESS KEEP TRACK: When you mail off your quilt, please send me a PM. Also send one when you receive a quilt you’re your partner. This will help me keep track and to ensure that everyone receives a quilt. PHOTOS: At the Quilting Board we love photos! A big part of the doll quilt fun is seeing what everyone has created, but as with most things in life, there is a little etiquette to follow. Usually the receiver will post a photo, but not everyone has a camera, so please photograph your quilt before you send it just in case. Don’t post a photo until your partner receives your quilt so the surprise won’t be spoiled. If you cannot post a photo, please ask your partner to do so. PARTNERS: Once sign up has ended, I will assign partners. I will try to pair you with someone you haven’t had as a swap partner previously. You will make a quilt for your partner and s/he will make one for you. Please PM your partner to share physical addresses. Do not post addresses on this thread. Although there is a theme and it is often sender’s choice, it is always nice to ask if your partner has any preferences. COMMUNICATION: If something unexpected comes up and for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or need to drop out of the swap, please let me know as soon as you know. If you take the time to communicate any difficulties, I can make sure things work out favorably for you and your partner with no hard feelings as a result. If, however, you just disappear off the face of the earth, you will not be permitted to participate in future swaps until you make good on your commitment. |

Nice to hear from you Crazy Quiltin Robin! I hope this new drug is just the ticket. My dad was the oldest recipient in Canada for a trial drug for Multiple Myeloma and he was declared cancer free a year later!

Oh, it is so great to see you back on the board Crazy Quiltin Robin, and glad to see you're feeling up to swaping again :)

I have been thinking about you and so glad to see you on the board again. Maybe you can do a 'crazy' log cabin doll quilt. Use your imagination! I bet it would be beautiful....:thumbup:

These doll quilt swaps are always so much fun. I would like to do this one but let me see if I can get my act together. I am really enjoying all the beautiful and cute little quilts I received in the past. this theme sounds just like something I would enjoy making and receiving.

CQRobin-best of luck to you. They are coming out with some real life saver drugs now-a-days. My hopes and prayers are with you. Lucinda
|
I'm in! Oooh, log cabin sounds fun. Been awhile since I've made one.
|
I've never done a log cabin and I'm nervous about this one. However, since it's doll quilt swap 53, and I'm 53, I will give it a try and hopefully get it done before I turn 54!
|

I cleaned the sewing room and got the fabric out for the log cabin ...I'm ready to go ..... can't wait to see who I get to swap with ..... ladies your quilts have kept me warm so often ...wrapped up in them when I felted so bad .... thanks for all the warmth you have shared with me .... lets go on with the mini quilts ....... got my pattern out too ......

|
I sent a pm to join on the 27th. Hope you have added me! This is my first doll quilt swap, and my first doll quilt, period! Looking forward to making a miniature.
|
Question, are we suppose to make Log Cabin Square DQ or and Log Cabin House? I think I messed up and read it wrong. I just finished up the Log Cabin Squares DQ so I hope I'm not to wrong on this...LOL OOPS!!!
|
I didn't make either one but have my own version of a log cabin type DQ with the theme. It's always been the way each one of us interpret it, so whatever you have done would be perfect with me.
|
Well If I did I can make the other. I can always use this one has a table topper...LOL
|
Hey swappers ! Log cabin block pattern was my first idea, but if you prefer to make a log cabin house works for me! I promise to answer pm,s today and get names in line for partners.
Robin glad to see you back on the board! You know laughter is the best medicine and some of these folks are hilarious! |
I have worked on mine with the log cabin block...so glad to hear that was the intent!
|
I sent in PM too!
|
Oh great I will not need to do over.....
|
Sending pm!!
|
Been thinking hard on this one, but please count me in again for this one. I already have an idea for this one, and hopefully this month will go smoother.
I did send a PM as well. |
I used the log cabin block, too. Glad that was right!
|
okay, i told myself no doll quilts this year because i have way too much going on already but i will admit to lurking on this one. can not wait to see all of your log cabins. just read one of my daughter's library books called "The Walking Quilt" the 10 year old girl pieced herself a log cabin doll quilt for her doll while walking in a wagon train from Illinois to Golden Colorado. Very cute book, and there is an adult non-fiction book that goes with it. Between that and this months theme it might be too much temptation to overcome.
|
paperpiecreme, think you should do this one and gift it to your daughter, just seems like a perfect fit!
|
i am making her a queen size hexagon quilt right now because her toes are hanging out of the end of all of her baby quilts. its beautiful mermaid and sea themed fabric, plus finishing a baby quilt, a baby shower quilt, and keeping up with a block of the week..okay reality talked me out of it. but, i look forward to seeing what comes of this challenge, please post lots of pics
|
I think I have replied to everyone's PM finally. I will get the partner list done tomorrow sometime? There is a quilt show in town tomorrow and I plan to be there! Hopefully I won't stay all day! LOL
|
QuiltingKrazy, thanks for all your efforts. Enjoy the show!
|
Ok ladies, I need one morevperson to signed up. Or is anyone willing to have two partners?
