I think the board names on the blocks are a good idea. I think of you all by you board names.

We could always put both...
"Lisa Smith aka Lisa_wanna_b_quilter"
Oops, I guess that's what you just said!

And Maksi could just add her real name somewhere if she wanted to.

I just sent you a pm I would love to join. I would love to have peoples board name on the block.

I've added you to the list, welcome to the swap.

WOW-EEEE! I have ALOT of scraps! I just went through them to see if I could muster up enough to join and now I can't fit them back into my drawer! This sounds fun! I don't have a guild, so if you all don't mind, I have sort of started thinking of you all as my guild...and a guild quilt would ROCK!
I wanna play!
:)

Darn it... Another cute swap. Why, oh, why?!?!

I'm a little confused, it you aren't going to have each participant make one block for each person, how are you going to divide them up?

BRT, there is a conspiracy to drive you crazy with tempting swaps! :D

If a person doesn't make enough to swap with the whole group they will get a random sampling of what was swapped.

Come on BRT you know you want to! They're quick and easy, after the first 50 you'll be a pro!

Lisa, you weren't suppose to let her in on our little secret :lol: :lol:

Bwhahahahaaaa- You girls are NAUGHTY. Sign me up, you devils.... and when my husband complains about the state of my house, I blame YOU! lol!

Well you can blame me if I can blame you and those dang barns. Have they arrived yet?

Not yet! Im keeping watch, though! Blame away. It is good to have a scape goat, lol!!

Sign me up! :)

I'll play! I should be able to make one for everyone who signs up unless you get hundreds. I guess I can get started now!

I'm starting now. I figure if there is alot of people who sign up it's easier to made a few at a time then a 100 all at once, and with the close date in May we could a ton of people signe up.

That's what I'm wanting to do! It'll be a "Quilt from around the world".

I'm with Chele.....make a few at a time, stack em up, ship em, then make a "quilt from around the world"
so cool

Hi,

What type of pen do you use to sign your blocks?

Karen "Craftybear", Indiana, USA

Count me in for at least 12 blocks. More if more
people sign up.
Thanks for setting this up.
Catlady

These are the pens I use, any fabric pen will work.

Thanks for the link. I need pens too.

I want one from everyone!! I will be starting soon.

In the instructions it said 100% cotton washed, my question is that if I use scraps not all of my pieces(color) have been washed, (the white will be) is this ok??

Try putting hte scraps in a laundry bag for bras, etc (or a pillow case) and run them through the wash.

good idea, DUH I should have thought of that

Someone had to tell me once.... Where are you in MI? I used to live in Livonia

i want to make a block for each in, i put done 12 but will change to however many people join

For other siggy blocks that I have made I just used a fine point sharpie. he only thing is that it needs to be heat set, so after it is all dry usually the next day I iron all the blocks.
I have not had any bleed or run.

Holland

I've tried Sharpie pens and depending on the fabric they can bleed.

You can get these pens in most craft stores like Michael's in the scrapbook isle. I alway stock up on them when they have the 40% off coupons.

NorBanaquilts - I would like to play if you can help me sort out postage.

I have pm'd you.

I live in Holland to, the Netherlands (NL) is also called Holland. hihi.. thats funny! :lol: :lol: :lol:

AWESOME!!! :mrgreen:

As far as I know lots and lots of foreign cities can also be found in the US :lol: :thumbup:

That is neat. I knew there was another Holland somewhere but never thought of any other places

We live in a smaller world that we think.

What a wonderful idea! Count me in. I have LOTS of scraps that my DH wishes were neat and orderly... This way I can have fun sewing them, and he won't have to look at them any more! :lol: :lol: It would be so fun to have a quilt block from each of this marvelous group!

oh this is going to be so great with so many ppl doing this, especially our friends over seas!! it's going to be a genuine "quilt around the world"!! i am so excited!! this is going to be another of my treasured quilts for sure!!
