Tesspug you have it down. Is that our sneak peek? :D] He is dancing a lil jig.

Okay. Stupid question. How is a mini quilt different than a mug rug? Is there an album of a completed swap? I am considering joining, but not sure I am competent enough!

Our minis range from 6-18 inches. Most are ending up 10-12 ish. Most everyone includes a hanging sleeve, but it's not required. You can applique, piece, thread paint, do whole cloth...any technique you choose. You can take a peek at last months swap to see what was made then. IMHO, if you can make a quilt block, sandwich, quilt and bind it. You have all the ability you need to join this swap. The fun part is creating!

I'm afraid I'd be way out of my league with you all here. These mini-quilts are wonderful! Everyone of them a work of art! Maybe someday when I am bit more confident. Have fun ladies!

I think you could do this! I had the same questions. Still sort of do. I'm don't see the difference in a "miniature" and a "wall hanging". At least in their piece size, maybe miniature quilts have miniature pieces and wall hangings are just small quilts/less normal size pieces-blocks?

Anyway, like tlambing said, if you can cut, sew, sandwich and bind, join! I'm hoping to practice and learn new skills while I make mine. My goal is to fill my sewing room/office wall with them this year!

(If you made your avatar, you certainly could join.)

Patches, please come and join in. We have a lot of fun and it is for all skill levels.

Quilting gf, you are way competent enough.

'Nuf said.'

Patches, just sent you a PM.

Jan

Yay! Patches....

You all are so supportive and encouraging. Thank you. As Whigrose's tag says, "My best is the least I can do" and that is what I promise, I'll do my best!

I will step out in faith and give it a try!

Deb

Yippee! Patches is in! You won't be sorry.

So glad to see you signed up Deb, now let the fun begin!

Jan

We are our own worst critics! (yes, even me!) So glad you all have joined and are so encouraging to one another :)
It warms my heart <3

To try and explain the difference between a mini and a wallhanging. Hmmmm, not much difference. We are just trying to keep them small. The idea was small or even smaller. But, that's just a suggestion. By looking at the minis sent over these many months about 12 " is about the average. 6-18 is the guideline, but larger is up to you and your partner.

I just love seeing everyones creativity at work and how different and at the same time similar we are. We have such a great group.

Names out tomorrow!!!!

Ooooo I'm sooooo excited!!! I have some ideas for what I want to do. Can't wait to confer with my partner! :D

sign me up please

After almost a half hour of pushing buttons and flipping levers....Here are our names for February's swap.

Please contact you partner right away. Let me know if there are any problems. Bookmark the thread and help keep our momentum going. Chatter and encouragement is always nice! Sneak Peeks are also SO much fun!

*Please let me know if I've made any mistakes ;)*

I am so excited! Pm-ing my partner now!

Debbyg, I looked at your profile and see that you have only posted 4 times to the board! Come out and let us get to know you! I looked through all 7 pages to find the post where you joined in and didn't find any. Did I miss it? Or, perhaps you simply PM'd Tlambing.

At any rate, this is SO much fun when we all join in and chatter away! Come play with us!!!!

Deb

debbyg has pm'd me several times, so I know she's around :)

She wrote me this evening! I am so glad.

Glad that you joined us Marilyn! I love small town life. Especially now that the internet has made the world a lot "closer."

Oops just seen this. I have got to get up with my partner. :)

My partner and I have been in contact! It's fun getting to know new friends :)
I know exactly what I am going to do, just have to finagle a little math (lord help me) to decrease the size. No piggy's for my mini, BUT LOTS OF GREEN!!! and a little GOLD too!

Is everyone getting in contact??


Teresa

My partner and I have contacted each other. :)

I've PM'd my partner, but haven't heard back yet.

My partner, JuneBillie, and I have been in touch. A couple of times. <giggle>

I PM'd my partner today.

How can I contact my partner? This is my first time in this swap, and I guess I am not catching on to what I should do. I see the name, but who is it? How do I contact her?

Plover, just go to your private messages, click on send new message, and write her board name in the TO spot, just as Teresa put it down on the list, and send her a note.

Does that help? Or, clear as mud? If you find a post by Krisb you can left click on her board name and a little window will come up, you can click on Private Message and do it that way.

PnP

Thanks so much for helping PP! This board can be quite confusing...but once you get the hang of it, it's so much fun!
ive pm'd you Plover, as well as your partner. Hopefully the 2 of you will be in contact soon.

SheriR and I have made contact. Off to my stash. Had to get up before the dawn this morning to take DH in for a kidney stone removable. The little dog got up, went outside, did her thing and flew back into the bed under the blankets. She was still there when I got back.

MizMelly and I are ready to start are mini. Let the fun begain

Jeanne49 and I have been in contact as well. I have my design in mind and ready to plow forward!!!

Hi all,
Here is a sneak peek of the mini I am working on for JuneBillie. Her preference is the theme colors rather than symbols. She also stated she loves the green colors of her area in spring and summer.

The background is a soft butter yellow, although you cannot tell that from the photo. I have finished the piecing and now trying to decide the next step/s.

Enjoy.

Best,
deb in Maine

Love the sneak peek. Can't wait to see your "colorway" mini. Just love the concept! And it's multi use/season that way!
My mini is still in the planning stages :(
