Christmas pot holder - Fabric: 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain (2010)
|
Hi! Wendi Mihalik here saying "Merry Christmas!" Well, maybe not yet. But as the Spook-y Swap participants presented their goodies at the October 12 meeting, there seemed to be interest in a Christmas-themed Swap too.
To sign up to participate in the Christmas Swap, leave a comment below and tell us:
1. Your name
2. 3 colors
you would like your partner to use
3. One or two ideas about some cute quilty
thing you would like to receive. I've listed some ideas below, but the possibilities really are endless...
Sign ups will close Thursday, October, 24. Partners will be assigned by Saturday, October 26 so you will have two full weeks to create your item. Be ready to present your gift to your partner at the next ECMQG meeting on November 9. (This is a very short time frame, so you will want to plan your project accordingly.)

Christmas Tree Pants (because not every tree wants to wear a skirt!) - Fabric: Flurry by Kate Spain (2011)

So, here's the fine print:
1. Please use modern quilt shop quality fabrics. (No Jo-Ann's, Hobby Lobby or other Big Box store fabric, with the possible exception of fabric by modern designers. Jo-Ann's for example, has fabric by Denyse Schmidt, Patty Young, Juliana Horner, ModKids and Cloud 9.) Careful fabric selection is key - we are a MODERN quilt guild, after all.
2. Make your item the best you know how. Be sure to make something you would like to receive.
3. Stretch yourself a little. Maybe try a new process or technique. We would love to have this little swap expand your quilting horizons a bit.
4. Be sure and say "thank you" when you receive your gift. It's only good manners, after all.
5. Have fun!
I can't wait to see all the wonderful things you will create!
Happy Swapping!

2. Bright, modern Christmas colors - mint green, bright pink, lime

I'm changing my mind. It's a woman's prerogative.

ReplyDelete2 - Oh, I forgot my third color - red. So mine are lime, aqua/turquoise, & red. I'd appreciate something Christmas themed or your modern take on Christmas using those colors.
3 - Pillow cover. I have lots of pillows - all sizes - so don't let that throw you, that need seasonal covers. Just have fun. You know how happy I'll be.

Wendi, is it too late to hop on the bandwagon? If not I would not mind another table runner in Christmas Colors! Or whatever creative Christmasy thing you can manage. :o)
