The past eight years I've hosted a doll size quilt swap and they have been resounding successes! Time for our 9th Annual Humble Quilts Doll Quilt Swap 2022.
Continue reading for all rules. When the number of participants continues to rise, please READ everything before asking me a question. Please take the time to make a quilt that you'd like to receive. Due date for your little quilt to be in the mail is May15th. Please do not participate if you cannot meet the deadline.
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-Current
Not 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 15th. Please no smaller then 12"x12" .
If you cannot mail international for financial reasons please let me know. You do not have to leave that info in the comments, you can email me. In previous years I let you not mail international for any reason, but I'm changing that. It is the same people willing to send international doing it over and over. If you just don't want to send overseas because going to the post office is a hassle, then please join another swap.
If you are interested please send me your full name, mailing address and if you cannot send international to humblequilts@gmail.com
Even if you were in a past swap, please send me the pertinent info. I'll take signups through - April 1st Midnight PST
(Or until I reach a total of 70 swappers- it won't take long!)
I will send you your swap partner soon after.
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?
SWAP IS CLOSED with 36 participants!
With all I have on my plate right now, I shouldn't, but I just can't say no. Thanks for doing this again.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting! I'm game!
ReplyDeleteI have to follow Wendy's comment. I was matched with her as a swap partner and received a real gem. I don't know if I can find the time this year.....
ReplyDeleteOh, reading Wendy's comment almost made me waver, but I know there is no way I could get one completed in time, since I am trying to get my father-in-law's history ready to print for the family before the anniversary of his birthday late in April. Had a great experience participating last year, but I am going to have to pass this year. I am spending many more hours at my keyboard right now than I am at the sewing machine.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh I’m sorry Lori but this year, i won’t participate.... but I can’t wait to admire all the beautiful quilts ! Thank you for this Wonderful challenge !
ReplyDeleteI missed the deadline to sign up big time, didn't I, Lori? I so enjoyed participating in the swap in past years and meant to this year as well. I got sick and have been incapacitated for over a month now. I'll just look forward to seeing the fun when the swap ends. Blessings from WV!
