If "meanie" means that you insist that the participants follow the guidelines - I think you deserve a medal!

I really want to do another I spy swap. I have so much going but I just may do it. I will have to hit you up for some tips and pointers if I do.

I really want to do another I spy swap. I have so much going but I just may host anyways. I will have to hit you up for some tips and pointers if I do.

Ok so what does it involve to "HOST" ??

Id probably be interested if I knew what I was getting myself into... :lol:

I may be interested as well if I knew exactly what is involved

OK...I have a really silly question...what is an "eye spy" swap? What does the "eye spy" mean? thanks! :D

Terryl 10-07-2010 12:46 PM

"I spy" is usually a child's quilt with objects to identify in them, such as "I spy a dog", "I spy a fire truck" etc

The last swaps were for five inch squares of novelty fabric -it had something that one could name on it - cows, chickens, apples, cars, fish, etc.

Well i'm not sure what it involves either. I have never hosted but I had a lot of fun with the squares I got back last time.
