Me again...I also wanted to get feedback as to what everyone thinks about seersucker fabrics? I for one love some of the patterns of them, and I am fine with swapping them...I have used them in quilts, never had a problem. I also have some great ones that were actually bought by my grandma and my great-grandma and in addition to quilts some of them were used to make some of my lil dresses with matching ruffly panties back in the day (now I am dating myself...lol..). I have received them maybe a couple of times and I have shared a few in the swaps because I just love them! I have a very few of the "stripey" ones; this month I did include 1 that had stripes...one that was a patriotic red, white, and blue stripe. Most of mine have stars, flowers, dots, lil lady bugs, etc. I have Probably included them for 3 swaps over the last year. I never swap more than 2 of the 5, and usually only 1. I also include either an extra "regular" fq / pre-cut squares, tho I do that anyway...my version of chocolate. Also, I for one won't ever turn down someone's vintage fabrics (hint, hint...;)). Lastly I haven't had any negative pms about it on the few occasions I did enclose some. This could be because you gals are too nice to say "Don't send me seersucker, even if you send extra stuff!!!". :eek:
All this being said, I don't want to "swap" them if others don't like them. And my feelings won't be hurt if the consensus is "No way Kif!!" I know most swaps usually say no homespuns...but just wondered about the seersuckers...
Thanks all!

Lisa and Nancy, I received both swaps yesterday. No picture at this time, hopefully later this afternoon. I don't know how to post pictures so DH said he would show me how. Please, don't hold your breath!
Any way, I love all the FQs I have received and have planned a table runner and pot holders.
Lisa sent a card with hers amd Nancy sent an extra FQ!
When will we find out what the next swap is going to be? I want to go shopping!

Hi Kif .... In response to your thoughts on seersucker .... I enjoy sewing with them for clothes but have not used them purposely in quilts, except for scrappy quilts for myself. When I belonged to a guild, one of the members let me know that seersucker was not appropriate for quilts - very loudly - quilt police humiliation drove me away from guilds after that. That experience still haunts me, but I am willing to try again ... so swapping would be fun. I also have many vintage fabrics, some of which I sent last month to swappers .... at least I didn't sent them some of the many, many, many yards of 60's - 70's polyesters!

these are my FQ'S from starshine. She did a great job and I hope to make a table runner .

I have seersucker pieces that I have purchased and used...I love them.

Oh I used to wear seersucker shorts all summer, they were my favs! I would be happy to receive them, not so much the polyester lol.

After all the bragging about knowing how to post pictures ............... well, if it doesn't work this time I'll just give up.

But I want to thank ssnare for the first set and the 2nd set from tumrub. Thank you ladies so much, I love them. Sorry it took me so long to post, but I couldn't get the pictures to come up.

oh sewellie,

I feel your pain. Was having the same problem. My son got here from Texas for fathersday and helped me do it. I have to do it in a round about way,but I can do it so thats all that counts. Good luck to you.

Hope my partner liked her FQ's because I still haven't heard from her.
