Fabric: 1775-1910 is a wide span of time but that is what we are looking for. Look HERE if you are unsure what reproduction fabric is.
We are not using 1920's-CurrentNot primitive style, like Jan Patek, or cutesy like some of Primitive Gatherings or Joined at the Hip. (which I love, just not for this swap) We want the quilt to look like it time traveled from days past.
24" x 24" or smaller. (It doesn't have to be square), Civil War reproductions, a label, with a deadline of mailing by May 1st.
If you cannot (for whatever reason) send international please let me know.
If you are interested please send me your full name, mailing address and if you do NOT want an international partner. loridweightwatchers@gmail.com
Even if you were in a past swap, please send me the pertinent info. I'll take signups through Sunday, March 20, 2016- Midnight PST
I will send you your swap partner soon.
If I do not know you, if you have never commented on my blog or we've never emailed than I may not allow you to join. Don't take it personal.
It isn't a race (although there is a deadline) there is no reason to rush and do a crappy job. This type of workmanship is not acceptable. It doesn't have to be perfect. So many of my points do not match, but I do know how to attach a binding and basic quilt construction. Have fun and enjoy the process!
Need some inspiration?
Happy Monday! I am starting a dog obedience training class tonight....

Oh boy, can't wait until May to see them!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and Elsa on the training!
Count me in again this year. Emailing you right now :)
ReplyDeleteI loved revisiting all the quits of the past years. Thanks for the links. As I am not sure of finishing it before the deadline, I will pass for this year yet again. Someday I promise I will join as I think it is such a fun swap. Good luck with the class tonight. ;^)
ReplyDeleteYAY how exciting, i LOVE your doll quilts swaps Lori.. let the fun begin! I'll be emailing you shortly :))
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well at dog obedience training tonite, with Elsa!
Yes !! Count me in please once again.... I think you have my email adress !
ReplyDeleteThank you Lori !
Can't wait to get started! Count me in again.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Lori, I don't usually do swaps, but thinking of jumping in this year. It isn't like I will necessarily have to start from scratch--I have so many little tops finished that meet the requirements. I could just pick one and get it quilted. I see the "quilt in the mail" deadline. Is there a signup deadline so I know how long I have to talk myself in or out of it?
ReplyDeleteYes for me for the quilt swap! So much fun and lots of work for you so I truly appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with Elsa at school, I do hope it is successful for you both. I had a pup flunk out once, but we found another trainer and things got much better, so keep an open mind and be optimistic! I'm sure it will be great, she's such lucky girl.
Hello, I just discovered your blog today for the first time and would really like to participate. I have been quilting for 16 years and recently started doing some mini quilts, which are so fun! I definitely have Civil War prints in my stash. I'll send you an email.
