October 2018 to December 2018 Table Runner Swap
Hi Guys,
Welcome to our ongoing Table Runner Swap! This swap will run from 1[SUP]st[/SUP] October 2018 to the 31[SUP]st[/SUP] December 2018. You have until the 31[SUP]st[/SUP] December 2018 to make a table runner - the theme this time is... Something you haven’t tried before. This is a method, block, applique, quilting… anything or way that you have not tried before. Size of Table Runner The table runner should be a minimum of 12” x 30”. You can use any technique/ any style. All fabrics used should be 100% cotton. The runner must have wadding and be quilted. Sign Up list There is no deadline so you can sign up at any time during the 3 months as this will be just an intention to participate. When you have made and are ready to mail your runner you can then sign up to the “ready to mail” list which is binding commitment. But please remember that the only list that counts is the Ready to Mail list posted at the end of December 2018. Ready to Mail list An initial Ready to Mail list will be posted around the 24th December 2018.If you are not on this list you will not get an address to send to unless you contact me and get on the final listing. Midnight on the 31st December 2018 – is the deadline to get on the “Ready to Mail” list. If you want to take part, I will need the following:- Real name Your address Whether you are willing to send international or not (Please consider this as it enables everybody to take part) Allergy info Pet and smoking information Email address As long as you have a table runner ready to mail you can join us by letting me know any time before the deadline. Addresses Sent Out: I will send out the name and address of the person you should send to on the 2nd or 3rd January 2019. You will have 7 days to get your table runner in the mail - No Longer. If you are unable to keep this commitment - please do not sign up. You will send your table runner to the quilter who's address you get. You will receive from a different quilter than the one you send to. This is not a partner swap. Please remember that there are quilters of all abilities on this board and you should appreciate the table runner you receive as your sender will have worked hard to make it for you. You are welcome to send some goodies in your package if you would care to, but please don't expect anything other than the table runner. Please Note.... You must let me know when you mail and when you receive. Also, please PM the person that sends to you when you receive to say thank you and to let them know that the table runner that they have sent you has arrived - it is only polite to do so! So come and join our fun. Hugs Caroline |
Hey Girlfriend I'm In!!! I sure do enjoy this swap.
|
i am interested as well.
|
Count me in! No idea what I will do/make/create but there is lots I haven't tried!
|
pretty quiet here - where is everyone? resting up after the summer swap? lol Has anyone decided what special project they are going to try for this swap? I'm still not sure and the first month of 3 is almost gone! yikes!
|
Being a newbie, there are lots of things that are firsts for me; log cabin, Dresden plate, applique, etc., etc, etc. lol
|
Is it OK to do something not so special? I am drawing a blank.
|
No Anna,the police say it has to be special..... just like me. lol. I don't have any idea either yet.
|
Anna you can do whatever takes your fancy, just try something new that you havent done before on it such as free motion quilting, or a disappearing 9 patch or use a block you havn't tried before....look up blocks of the month. the challenge is to try something new to you. you'll do well!
|
LOL m-fay I think I got my months mixed up and did the try something new last month. I think it lives at your house now. ~smile~
|
I'm hoping to participate this round..... I will do my best but, if I sell my home (fingers crossed)... I'll be moving...so, I'll try and start thinking about runner and what I haven't attempted to do yet. Goodness...talk about a challenge. Lol
|
I'm going to play again too. It is going to be hard to come up with something I haven't done. I think I've tried it all.
apple core is a trial unto its own. curves paper piecing english paper piecing miniature blocks prairie points applique- machine and hand curved edge binding original pattern quilting by hand and machine and a few I haven't thought of. peace |
I've still been procrastinating. I have the pattern but apprehensive about it but tomorrow I bite the bullet and buy the fabric!

Blindfolded, LOL! This would be new. Haha
I enjoy doing curves so maybe I'll try a new pattern with curves like Robbing Peter to pay Paul or the easy Cathedral Window look-a-like. There are just too many choices to make. |

You know you want to! LOL LLOL Shall I put you on the list??????? Hugs Caroline |
Hi Anna,
This time you just have to try something that you haven't tried before.... and everything you make is special! Hugs Caroline |
Hi Teen,
It would be lovely to have you if you can make it! Hugs Caroline |
It is lovely to see all the chatting and thinking out loud that you gals are doing..... I too am having to think of something that I haven't tried yet..... oh....as I was typing an idea popped into my head!
Ohhhhhh... I think I have something!!!!!! Hugs Caroline |
I am having another go at a pattern I did all wrong but turned out just different . It got sold at our craft fete so someone liked it , they didn't know it was wrong. I remember how I went wrong { I think } I might even try that again . Think, think, think
|
We sure sound sure of our selves...lol. Sounds like the blind leading the blind. This ought to be a interesting swap.
|
I'm still drawing a blank but will keep pondering until I come up with something...hopefully.
Just checking in with all of you, sorry it's been so long. Since being in Florida, I've had to go through a battery of tests that have really taken a toll on my immune system. It's pretty much non existent at this point. I had a CT scan last week that actually left me weak in the knees and really ill from the fluid they have you drink. Now I have a cold and stomach flu that will not go away. They postponed the MRI until next Tuesday so hopefully I will be better. Not a good way to start the Florida season. My other quilt for the Boom swap is pieced and put together, just not enough energy to get it on the machine and quilted, soon I hope. |

)))))))Hugs and prayers jaba((((((((
|
Oh goodness, Jaba....you've been thru so much recently. I declare November your month for recovery and healing... Get some rest...
|
My head is swimming with ideas....those who know me know...this could be dangerous...lol... You never know what you may end up with.
|
yes, i want to play as well. :)
|
I hope I am not too late for this. I'd like to have a go at this
|
Your never to late. You have until just before the names come out to make a runner and let Caroline know your ready to send. This is a quiet thread but still fun. Post anytime. We love to hear from each other.
|
I love seeing the chat this time! Lol Jaba I would send you a hug emoticon if I could find the darn things!
Still no idea what I am going to make for the runner! Currently away from home again to be with my Mom who is now palliative. Loving the time I’m able to spend with her, but missing my sewing machine too. Keep throwing out more ideas - then I can go “eenie - meenie - minie - mo” lol. Have no idea if that is even spelled right! |
sending hugs and best wishes Jaba that they find whats wrong and fix it and hugs for you too northern sue as you spend time with your mum.
|
I am going to have a go doing a runner with the wave ruler. I have no pattern so we'll see how it will turn out
|
I hope they get it figured out too! They tell you the cancer is gone, but the side effects of everything seems to go on and on. Just tired of feeling so lousy, it has to get better soon I hope. I’ve never made a bargello runner before so that could be what I try.
|
I'll join again! I have been wanting to try fusible/machine applique and a runner is just the right thing to start with.
|
at least I finally got one started. multicolored, fall, Thanksgiving & of course Christmas. I hope whoever gets this will like it. kind of rusty, so not perfection
|
Caroline, I'm in.

I'm still undecided on what to make. I have to keep clearing and cleaning sewing room when buyers come so I haven't been very productive. Another one coming to view today. Fingers crossed.. |
