Mini Quilt Swap signup list for 2009

Don't make your quilt before you get your name... you might want to make it the colors the person likes... or pick a certain fabric you know the reciepent will enjoy...

Memaw4 you are in.. we can sit together and come up with some great ideas

golo that is great advise!! you can gear it towards the individual or you can make it your personality...I myself would like it to be you (the person making the mini...)
If you want ideas take a look at my blog I have made some posts on mini's I had made during my auction you will see some there...in fact I will post some more this weekend...

we are at 16 1/2 members so far on our list what a great response!!

Just wondering, is the half member the result of a successful diet?

that is a result of some of them coming on the bus incognito..we are trying to capture these elusive members and entice them with quilters delights.. just think you can look like this guy at the end of August..

you didn't put my name on the list am I in or out,,? just wondering

Today I'm working on my sample quilt for this swap. Gotta see how good it's going to look! :peek: that's me peeking!

I nap.... I live and work in the same place so it is easy for me to get to my sewing room or to do handwork at my desk.... I am lucky to be the boss... :lol:

First Mamu thanks so much for making a great decision!! you sent me a wonderful pattern for a mini do you remember at the Christmas swap??.. but that is for me sorry kids... you must have looked at all the scraps you have and thought what better way to get ride of them?? then to make a memoriable mini

Memaw.. I have had alot of swaps with all these wonderful ladies some where beginners at the time some were intermediate.. no matter what everyone helped each other if there were questions.. help is a keyboard away..LOL

I will have you know that my mom has not made a mini and she was looking through my mini mags and has a few choices..you all will not be disappointed that is all I got to say..LOL

Golo rule of thumb when making a mini.. make 2 of the same cause you know your gonna like it.. now you are back at square one.. so make 2 of the next one. and lets see the one you made so that everyone can have incentive..

I have a couple to pick from as well.

Whoever is standing on the bottom step of the bus better get on cause the door is gonna close and Isee thunder clouds out there you don't want to get wet... Honestly the bus is busy with the talk of mini's and everyone getting started. You have till midnight Tuesday..so either get the rain gear on or come in and have some sweet julip tea with us mini addicts..

:yahoo:
