Count me in! Will be fun to do a holiday piece.

Yippee!!! I've been waiting for this. I'm in too!!! I'll let you know later if I'm doing Winter or Holiday.

I can't decide what to do! I promise I won't make a snowman....(did that twice in a row) Gotta think of something new!
Maybe a Blue, silver and white mini?

Hmm.. thinking about this one! It has been months since I have sewn and now I feel the need.. I love sharing my work and this would a good way to get back in the groove. I shall think for a day or two on this..

What would constitute Holiday vs Winter? Holiday would be manger scenes or Christmas Trees? Winter is a snow flake? I ask because sometimes what I think of as winter , someone else may think of as Holiday.

Blue lady...do join in! I think holiday would include Christmas trees, Santas, sleighs and reindeer, presents, carolers, candles and Christmas lights, gingerbread men, poinsettias, wreaths, nativity scenes and so on. To me winter would be snow scenes, snowmen, red cardinals and evergreens, snowflakes, fireplace with roaring fire, mittens and so on.

Thanks Chasezzz!

And don't forget the Cocoa ;)

Count me in.
peace

PLEASE sign me up for NOVEMBER swap.

I just realized I hadn't signed up. Just pm'ed. I am ready to start.

sign me up.

This sounds great. I'd really like to do a winter quilt!

This is my first time in this swap. Do you usually choose your own design, within the theme, or custom design something your partner asks for?

Will appreciate your thoughts.

The design is totally up to you. Your interpretation of the theme :)
It is nice especially this month if you ask your partner which direction they'd like you to go. Some folks may not want an authentic Christmas mini, but rather a wintery one. But the design(pattern)is totally up to you. Hope that helps.

Glad to have you join us!

Just sent my PM Teresa. I will do either one. So happy to be able to get back to sewing and quilting! Ready for some fun projects :)

Yeah Jaba! Welcome back! Glad you are sewing again.

I am finally settled in after the disaster at the condo and closing the cottage in Maine. Count me in -- I have to make 9 table setting/place mats and this will also be the right size. I do enjoy the minis.

I have a steel door here in Olympia and use magnets to"hang my minis each month.

On to Thanksgiving. I am trying a few new recipes and just made a mushroom barley soup. Very easy and tasty with a hearty crusty bread. Yumm!
peace

my fabrics are red and green -- one has gingerbread houses -- another has holly -- another has candy -- so I guess you could call them holiday -- I hadn't thought of differences before

sounds great Mim.....

Pretty colors Ube.......

Haven't gotten that far, just know I love the challenge.

Thanks Chaz, got a new laptop this morning for the sewing room and now I'm really ready :)

Hi Jan! Glad to see that you are finally getting settled in. Welcome to Florida!

Thanks Karen, still seems to be a lot of work to do but we are getting there. Had to replace the stove fan today and found a cockroach in the enclosed patio, they're coming to spray tomorrow. I'm getting use to the heat but seems like by 7pm I'm yawning and think it should be at least 10. :)

Welcome to the swap AnnieQuilts. Have fun creating.
peace

Last day for sign ups. Partners out tomorrow.........oh the possibilities!

My mini top is ready and will finish after names are revealed, just in case we decide to do something different.
