Just sent my info...

I'm in, not sure what PRIMARY AND SECONDARY 'BLENDER' fabrics means, but I'll try.

I'm in. See if I'm thinking right. (Still really sick). So if I chose one primary (like green leaves), then send 4 blender fabrics with green in them that match? Am I thinking straight?

Pm'ing jclinganrey as we speak.

is it solids and then blenders or is it anything in those colors that people are swapping? and btw how is everyone doing?? I hope your having fun swapping and that things are going well for both the swappers and your new leader! I love seeing what your swapping!

Primary colors are red, yellow and blue. Secondary colors are orange, green and purple. Blenders are usually tones of those colors or some of us relate to them as tone on tone. No prints. Google primary and secondary colors and it will explain it better than I have.

Primary 'blenders' are red/yellow/blue and secondary 'blenders' are orange/purple/green. Please choose any 5 of those six colors to swap. I found a site ((I'm not promoting it at all! It's just a good reference)) and it has a whole section of 'blender' fabrics. Look around to get an idea and remember this swap is anything from the six colors listed above. Hope that helps!

Also think Moda Marbles, Grunge, crackle, dots, etc. ((again, not promoting Moda!)) Just examples. Kaufman Fusions is another good example.

Jump in! There is still time!

Okay, I just got in some new fabrics (I know, I'm supposed to be downsizing). I got 1 that is "blender-y" but it's a 2 tone, teal blue/purple. It's by Jinny Beyer, RJR Bedfordshire Tonal. Is it okay, or would y'all rather have solid/1 color only?

Kiffie, Ew ah, yum, they sure do look good to me!!! Hope we get each other's names. :) Tomorrow I will post the FQ's I got from you, I think I'm going to live now. Sure do feel better, it's been a long trip. Not over yet, but getting better each day.

Gorgeous fabric. I am signing up and I would love to get it.

Very pretty, Kif. If the group is okay with shades other than primary blue, that's fine with me. It's really up to the group. Jinny Beyer has some wonderful blender prints.

This is the last day to sign up!!! I'll post tomorrow!

Okeydoke and thanks ladies.:thumbup:
Sewellie, very happy you're on the mend!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]518726[/ATTACH]This is the ugly side swap with Kiffie.
''''what's a matter with you girl, these are so nice, you failed miserably. :)
Baby Willa has not seen the monkey patch since we have been so sick. She will see them Monday.
And I see a little bag coming from the monkey fabric. Oh, and do I love those selvedges!! Yes, ma'am, you is the girl. Thank you so much, my friend. Monkey fabric for Baby Willa and butterflies for Nana.

Happy you like them, I tried to add in purples for you. When I bought the sparkly butterflies on purple fabric for my lil granddaughter, I knew I'd be sending some of it to you, too. And of course on the monkey patch I knew just who it had to go to!

Hey hey ladies. This time I didn't totally forget to join. I thought I should take a break as this month will be super busy for me. But I'll be watching and drooling!!! <3

Please PM your swap partner for mailing information. Mail deadline is MAY 10TH.

Have contacted Jaba and NancyW.
Annt59 messaged me as well. Let the swapping commence:thumbup:

Will miss you SheriR, but totally understand!

Kif

Mailing today ladies, you should have them by the end of the week.

Ladies - - - - please, please please pay attention who you're sending to and who you're receiving from. ((I hate ending a sentence in a preposition!!)) It's not a simple back & forth swap.

Please re-read the instructions posted above. I think some swappers are making this way too difficult.

Also please remember - we're all sending FIVE of the SIX following colors: red, yellow, blue, orange, purple or green - in blender-type fabrics according to the person listed above.

Any questions, please let me know.

Jane not sure but think I sent you a PM, both of mine are sent and in the mail. Primary and secondary colors, 1 of each. My partner's should be able to use them as they are medium tones...

Yes, Jaba I got your PM. Thanks!

I received notice NancyW received and likes fqs I sent. I didn't take a picture before I mailed, didn't even think to...not sure if she can.
I received mine from Jaba, all I can say besides a big thanks and I love them is I thought of the Skittles commercials: taste the rainbow:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]519045[/ATTACH]

Thanks for candy, too...

Kif

Glad you like them kif, I use them alot. The colors sure look off in the pic but they really were the 6 colors

Oh,those are so pretty!!! Some of you ladies just have the eye, I envy you. Lucky you, Kif. Please take a break from your busy schedule and make something purple for that sweet little granddaughter and I'll bet that little boy in your life would like something blue! And I'll bet the "big boy"in your life would like something too. Also, maybe your mama would like a mug rug. :) Nice job, Jaba!!!

fruitmama let me know she got the FQ's that I sent so will post a pic of what I sent her.[ATTACH=CONFIG]519179[/ATTACH]
