4.  In your email please express what kind of Quilt you want MADE for you.  That way I can match up the right person with the right quilt -   I will answer all emails and try to fit the right pair of ladies together....

LITTLE QUILT SWAP 1

Hello Quilting Bloggers,

Would anyone be interested in participating in a Small Quilt Swap???  Size approx 22 x22 inches?  You could make a traditional, contemporary, anything you like, Small Quilt???  I would be the host and I thought since it is September 17th, we could have three months to make it - so December 17th they would be due to swap?? 

What do you think and would anyone be interested???  I will organize it but first wanted to see if anyone would be interested - it would be called SQS1 (small quilt swap 1)???  what do you think...

Hugs,

Mary

WHERE OH WHERE HAS THIS SUMMER GONE...

Hi everyone,

Where has this summer gone...seriously, I want it back!!!  September already and today it feels like fall in Chicago!    Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend!

Was just wondering does any of you quilters know of any quilt swaps that I could join....???

Just wondering....

About three - maybe four years ago I had a really terrible experience in one - seriously - they sent my quilt back to me - wasn't what the lady wanted and they didn't like my machine quilting...so I received it back - quite humiliating, so was just wondering if any of you have had good luck with any swaps?  I still have it that quilt sitting on my kitchen table and I just love it - but, whatever...any info would be appreciated.

Thanks and Hugs,


Mary
