Sign up time for the Quilting Board's 20th doll swap. Everyone is welcome to join. All levels of quilters play with us. We're just here to have fun. Here are the details:

Doll Quilt Swap #20 -- February 2011
No Theme, Sender's Choice

DOLL QUILT SWAP GUIDELINES

SIZE: from 12”x12” to 24”x24”…any size or shape in between.

MATERIALS: natural fibers/cotton, wool, linen.

EMBELLISHMENTS: if you want to use them, feel free…beads, rickrack, buttons, doilies, ribbon, lace…anything or nothing at all.

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliquéd, wholecloth; quilted by hand or machine; and bound.

LABEL: It is recommended that you attach a label to the back of your quilt. A label is a nice addition to any handmade quilt. Whether or not you decide to label your quilt, please do include a note with your quilt with your quilting board name, real name and contact information (snail mail address and/or email address, etc. so that your partner can thank you).

MANNERS: I hate having to say this, but when you receive something, please thank the sender. Just a simple post is great. It also lets me know you've received a quilt so I don't hunt down your partner wondering if they forgot to send you a quilt. If you are unable to post a picture, please ask your partner to do so. Much of the fun is seeing everyone's creations.

PARTNERS: You will be paired with a partner for this swap. You will make a quilt for your partner and your partner makes one for you.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all quilts to be sent is February 28, 2011.

COMMUNICATION: If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or you need to drop out of this swap, please let me know as soon as you know. If you communicate any setbacks with me I can make sure things work out favorably for your partner, no hard feelings.

SIGN UP: Sign up begins today and ends January 31, 2010. I’ll assign partners after that date.

If you would like to sign up, you can respond to this thread or PM me. Please let me know if you are willing to send internationally as we have a few swappers outside of the US.

Here are some links for ideas:

Sign me up. US or International, doesn't matter.

Please count me in!! I love this swap, it's so exciting and enjoyable.

I usually PM Chele to tell her I'm in. And a big welcome to you and all the other newbies. We like this swap because we go at our own pace, there are no quilt police, and we get to know other QB members better.

Please count me in I am having so much fun My January one should be ready to mail on Monday

I am new to the board, where would I find the general rules. I just want to make sure I can fulfill my obligation to my partner. If they are resonable I will be in. I have 2 pets a poodle and a conicorso if that makes a difference to my future partner. Thanks for the help.

Pansy Creations, you can find the guidelines here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-92303-1.htm (first page of this thread). I hope you will consider joining us wacky doll quilt swappers. We always have fun.

I am in I can do all that, it really is all about people kindness. When we wash the fabric regular detergent is good. I don't usually wash my fabric before sewing.

Hi All. I am game for another one. Welcome to all the new players. Warning....these are addicting! :-)

ME, ME, ME!!
DON'T FORGET ME!!!

Yes these are addicting. 8-) Is there a doll quilt anonymous group. I think I need to join. LOL

Count me in to please!!!!

Hi Chele,
Yes Please. Count me in!
Blessings.

Chele,
You know I'm in.
I'm addicted too! :lol: :roll:

Count me in!

Hi Chele,
Please, count me in!!

What a fun group already! Love all you veterans and the newbies too! We're going to have a good time as usual. Everyone let loose and have some fun. No pressure or strict rules. Just create and let it flow. And above all, have fun!

Please count me in. This will be my first swap, but not my first doll quilt. I've just started making a few and can't stop. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, but I plan to wash the finished item and put it into the mailing box directly from my dryer, so as to minimize the possibility of pet hair and dander. If anyone is terribly allergic, it might be better to swap with someone who is not owned by pets. I'd like to send within the lower 48, please. Thanks for hosting, Chele!

Add my name to the list for the Feb Dolls Quilt Swap Chele. Thanks again for hosting this fantastic swap.

Sorry I won't be able to do this one.
