Hi Everyone...believe it or not, it's that time of year again. We had so much fun with this swap last year and I'm sure we will again this year. Here are the details and if you have any questions PM me.

Christmas/Holdiay Ornament Swap Guidelines
1. Sign up by September 30, 2011
Mail on November 1, 2010 so they are there in plenty of time to use and enjoy for Christmas.

2. Ornament should be handmade. It doesn't *have* to be quilted, but it does have to be handmade.

3. Each person can do up to two ornaments.

4. This will be a direct person to person mailing to save postage. I will email you the person (people) that you are sending to by October 5th.

5. This will be an international swap so if mailing internationally is a concern for you, please let me know in a PM.

6. If you would like to participate, please PM me the following information:
Screen name
Real name
Address
# of ornaments that you want to swap (1 or 2)

7. Make sure that you enclose a note to let your person know who you are !

8. Please read the guidelines for all swaps on the board at this link http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm

9. Have Fun getting ready for the holidays and let your creativity flow! PM me is you have any questions.

10. This is a secret swap and you will not necessarily be mailing to the same person you will receive from.

Swap has been approved by moderators.

Brenda- I PM'd but forgot to put how many. I would like to do 2 please. Thank You- I am anxious to get started. Went to a quilt show this weekend and found a pattern that I can do! I am so ready now! Broke my wrist last Monday so I have to wait couple more weeks but I am getting everything ready to go when cast comes off. Thanks for hosting this event.

JSNOMORE 09-26-2011 01:11 PM

Just send my PM. The ornaments from last year look so creative. Hard to beleive only 90 more days till Christmas. I have tons of sewing to do between now and then.

CloverPatch 09-27-2011 09:56 AM

Im in! I didn't have much of a choice! I have a young lady here who heard me read this swap to her older sister and has been nagging me everyday if I have signed up yet!!
She is 8, an avid sewer and eager for me to tell her grab her sketch pad and come up with a plan.

I don't know what we will do yet, but it will be fabulous!

jacquie 09-27-2011 01:35 PM

lawsonmugs 09-28-2011 06:59 PM

LYNNIE, so good to see you have your ornaments done already. that means your partners won't have to wait.I'm gonna start mine in a few days.Maybe more of us should get started on them so we aren't mailing them late.We don't need to wait for our partners name to make the ornaments.There is alot going on now that the fall season is here and the holidays are starting soon.Just trying to give some help. Mary

IrelandDragonQuilting 09-28-2011 08:03 PM

Excellent idea! Iam going to make mine this weekend.

immemother 09-28-2011 10:59 PM

Wow!

Im still debating. The big question?? Do I do something that will fit in an envelope or do I want to go with my other idea that will need a box......
Decisions... Decisions....

You are always so fast of getting your stuff done. It amazes me. I thought about joining but couldn't think of what I would do.... Any ideas out there?
