July Mini Quilt Swap "Dealers Choice"
 

For this swap we will be making miniature quilts. The suggested size is 6-18 inches or anywhere in between, finished.
Square, round, rectangle, hexi, it’s up to you.


The theme is “Dealers Choice” anything goes. (it would be nice to ask your partners likes/dislikes for this one)
either your literal interpretation or just the color way you choose.
The little quilt must have a top, batting and backing and must be bound. You can use any method you wish to fashion the top, piecing, appliqué, whole cloth, thread painting etc.
This will be a partnered swap. Each partner will make a mini quilt for the other.
(Partners cannot impose requirements or expectations upon each other.)


Please PM tlambing by Friday, July 3rd to sign up. I will then match up names and get them out to you by the evening of July 4th . You will have until July 31st to mail your tiny quilt to your partner. This is a FIRM DEADLINE!

Any swapper that fails to follow through and does not contact me and their partner will be banned from any of my future swaps and will receive bad (swap)feedback.

Me too! Sending info

I am also in.

Count me in for July please.

I wish I knew my partner's likes and dislikes. I really like to start early. But, I guess I have to wait for another week. :(

Only one more day to sign up for the July pincushion/needlecase swap. Everyone is welcome. Come join the fun!!! :)

I've sent my info... I'm so excited!

Sign ups close tomorrow. Hope to get a few more swappers on board!

TL how many do we have so far?

I'd like to swap... I haven't done this swap in a long time! The last time Jaba was my partner. Looking forward to playing.

We have 11 swappers so far! A small yet MIGHTY group :)

Today is the last day to sign up. Partners out in the am.

Come on and join us!

Sent my info.
I'm in, my first time here. I hope I do o.k.
don't know exactly what you expect of me, hope I can do o.k. by your standards.
off to make a mini pretty.

Welcome Welcome Welcome! Lynnie :)

Don't be silly, you are perfect for our little group !

Yeah! Lynnie is here too! :thumbup:

lynnie,I have seen your work you have no worries!!!

Welcome Lynnie,

I haven't been on for a bit. Now I see you! :)

This sounds like too much fun!! I'm in :)

can't wait to get my partner. hope you like what I make. I don't have a camera, so i'm hoping my partner can take a photo for me.

do we get our partner today?

Waiting, waiting, waiting for a partner!

After I suggested that Lynnie join in ( I love her) , I decided I'd better join too. Always time to make a new friend.
I'm doing homework- cutting- for my Split Diamond Star class at City Quilter. Yes, I could do it by myself, but the terrific teacher has great tips! A mini quilt will be a fun distraction. I wonder who my partner will be. Dotty/NYC

Yay... hope we ended up with an even number of swappers.

So where's our Fearless Leader? She said she'd have our pairings up this morning. Didn't happen. Hope she didn't get lost on the way to the QB...

Just plugged your names into my partnering software ;)

Partners soon!
Happy 4th Everyone!

Yeah! Now we have more on board. I love this swap. :)

Happy Birthday America!

OK here we go!
This month is a bit different. The theme is Dealers choice. You can make anything you choose this month! I thought it might be fun however to find out a couple things about your partner and try to incorporate something they will "like", maybe their favorite color or "batiks" You get the gist.

* quick reminder, the only item you are "required" to swap is the mini quilt you make. If you choose to send other gifties it is totally up to you but they are NOT required*

thanks for partering us up. sent mine a quick note with my mailing info. won't be able to mail till Friday.
My son has my car for his CDL school, so i'm carless. Hope she likes what I make.

looking forward to seeing what everyone does.

I'm done! worked on it a lot last night b4 I signed up and worked on it a lot today. Not doing to much, got a bit too much sun yesterday, so I finished my mini already. Hope she likes it. a lot of different techniques in it.

o/k., I've been known to rush things, the holidays and stuff, but anyone have any idea what next month is so I can get a jump on it??? don't kick me off , I like it here. I just like to get a jump on things.
happy 4th everyone.

stupid, is the mini and doll quilts the same???

Dotty is doing a beautiful split star. it's breathtaking. Dotty, why don't you show every one your little piece of art?

My partner has contacted me, and I have replied. We are good to go. :)

No, the mini and doll quilt swaps are not the same. Has the doll quilt one started up again? I was a frequent flier there and then I didn't see it posted anymore.
As far as next months swap........thinking thinking thinking!

I sent a message to my partner with my info and waiting to hear back with her info. Looking forward to this swap! :) Thanks again for setting this up and I can't wait for more to come.....

JuneBillie and I have been in contact. I have her mini-quilt done... just thinking about what else to include. Little surprises...

I hope she likes her quilt when she sees it.

I am sure I will love it, and I have viewed all your pretty quilts in your gallery. You have made many of them. :)

I've contacted my partner and waiting for a reply. Thank you TL for hosting again!

Thanks so much for looking! :)

just heard from my partner too, we are both done. this looks like it might be an early swap for all of us. Seems we all got a lot done yesterday. Mine is going as soon as I can get to a PO. thanks for posting.

azcardsgirl, started your mini today. Had 1 done but decided to try and change to get both of your favorite colors in it....we'll see how it turns out. As a backup I have one ready to go in just 1 of your fav's, 'cause it's mine too!!

Let me guess Jaba. Could it be purple??? :D
