Description:
Welcome to Quilting in the New Year Swap – March 2011

Sign up deadline: March 15, 2011

This is a swap that would enable you to be paired up with another ‘Quilting Pal’ and swap a quilted item that each has made. It can be either machine or hand quilted. The Quilting Pals would know who each other is and can chat about their projects throughout the whole month. This would just be for March 2011. You would be signing up for one month at a time.

Beginner quilters as well as experienced quilters are invited to join. Every attempt will be made to match you up with a quilter who is at the same level of experience. (If an experienced quilter would like to be matched with a beginner and to be his/her mentor, please let me know.)

If you are international, feel free to join!

If you are interested in joining, please send me a Private message with the following information.

Screen Name:
Real Name:
Address:
Level of Quilting Experience:
Can you mail international?
Size and type of project you’d be interested in doing (wall hanging, table topper, potholders, etc.):
Allergies:

This form will be given to your swap partners. Partners may choose to exchange additional information about such things as color preferences, specific type of project, etc. Partners are reminded that this is a swap. Please avoid issuing too many specifications as though you were placing an order with a commercial business. The elements of mystery and surprise are at least half the fun.


The cost limit on this is to be $10 (USA) excluding postage.

Sign up will close March 15, 2011. The names will be paired up by March 17, 2011. Partners are responsible for keeping in touch during the month to keep each other updated on the progress of the project.

All of the standard rules that apply to swaps apply. The rules were updated on 8 Dec 2010, so please make sure to check them before signing up.

In addition:
Neither project will be sent out/exchanged until both are done. Partners will agree on a specific date on which each will put their package into the mail. Unless otherwise agreed by both partners, the projects should all be done and in the mail by April 25, 2011. Tracking information should be sent to the Coordinator.

Coordinated by: dream56

Great to see all the new swappers signing up for March. You will all have so much fun. Be sure to check out some of the goodies being received for February on the Quilting in the New Year Feb posting.

We are up to 17 sign ups - love it. Only 5 more days to sign up - so it won't be long now.

Any thoughts of what anyone wants to make. We've seen wall hangings, table toppers, totes, potholders, and mug rugs. I know I am making a wallet for February's swap. Any other new ideas. Be sure to share your thoughts.
