Monthly Quilting Bee-Version lll
I'd like to welcome all to our new beginning of the Bee swap. I hope all enjoy it, and follow the instructions so that everyone is happy with their blocks.
If blocks do not fit the criteria of 12 1/2" unfinished, they will be returned to the sender. Sorry to be so direct but the idea is to receive nicely finished blocks.:thumbup: 1. You will receive a swap pal name, and it is up to you to confer with your partner for theme and address. You will have ONE month to make one block for that person and send it to them. The blocks must be 100% prewashed cotton, 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" unfinished (12" when finally sewn into a quilt). You can make them in any fashion - pieced, appliqued, paper-pieced, embroidered, other methods - as long as you follow your swap partner's specifications to the best of your ability so their project can be unified. Please think carefully about your pattern and choice of fabrics, as some are not able to get out and purchase speciality items. Again, this is supposed to be a fun swap, so everyone have fun. You may see the whole document under HOME, COMMUNITY, GROUPS, Monthly Bee Swap on the right side of the screen. Please contact me if you have any questions, or would like to join. |
It's a great swap everyone, you will love it.

My partner, Nelco and I have exchanged messages. Thanks Jean for keeping a great tradition going.

GREAT.. You're welcome, I have enjoyed this swap too, for many years and was surprised when asked to take it over. I have another lady that's missed the sign in. She's been in, and didn't want to 'lose' her, so I'm doing a block for her this month. I'm sure ya'all know Country-Girl.. ;o) Welcome to all. I'm hoping others will let me know they'd like in, I'll get them paired up somehow.. Come on ladies/gents, it's not really toooo late to join back up for October. The more the merrier so they say. I don't want some of the 'old hands' not to be in the swap.
Sew Hugs Jean |
It looks like I found you too late! I read the swap instructions but didn't see where to sign up. Oh well, I can look forward to next month.
Phyllis sunrise450 I just read the instructions for the second version of this swap so I am sending a PM. Sounds like a fun fun swap! |
I can take an extra partner :) PM if interested. I also want to say.. a YARD STICK? um I will behave promise! yikes! maybe that's where I go wrong I threaten swappers with a wet noodle! and they don't seem to be too threatened! :) I will work on mine in just a short bit picked out the fabrics now to pick out the block. should be easy I was thinking a two square block that counts right? lol ok I don't even do 9 patches so you are safe. ok some of them only have nine pieces .. no? not really either. off to whack away! cross your fingers I keep all mine!
|
I finally found you. Only had to catch up on 2 pages. lol, I really don't know why it was so difficult. Have messaged my partner. We have been partners before. She has a really fun theme. Looking forward to it. Nice to see some new faces. Or at least new to me. This is a great swap. Lots of fun.:D

Oh shoot Judith, I thot I was being soooo careful not to pair with someone that had been a partner recently. Guess my eyes were getting crossed..lolo I promise to 'try' to do better next time.. ;o) |
It's ok, she really has a fun theme to play with. I feel a little bad for hogging her. :D Her theme is "Black is the new White". Meaning, she wants black to be the prominent background color. I'm thinking of playing with paper piecing this go around. Will see what patterns I come across that catch my eye. (Completely different from the last blocks I made her.) It will be fun. So, no worries. I will accept whatever partner you assign. I am having a blast trying out new things. (colors, blocks, ect.)

I love making blocks :) and if she doesn't write before I get home from clinic I will send a note to her so no worries. Its going to be pretty cold today. high of 37 and its 6:30 and I have to hit the road. its pretty darned fresh out there. fall, where did that go? time flies when your having quilty fun I guess. I have this wall hanging to make for another swap here.. golden glow of candles. yikes. what was I thinking? stained glass is what I was thinking.. good ideas gone lots of work :)
