Wanna swap?
Ever since I got home from the workshop with Denyse Schmidt I’ve been stewing and brewing the idea for a quilt block swap. I’ve worked out logistics, made graphics, picked some fabric colors (which match my website beautifully) and now I’m ready to say, “Come and play!”
If you click on that button up there you’ll be taken to the not-a-secret-anymore page on this here site. All the details are there for how to have a really good time, do some service for the world, and make some collaborative “soft art” from crafty friends everywhere. There is so much talent, creativity, good taste, craftmanship, and camaraderie out there in the craft world that I want some tangible evidence. Tangible as in a nice snuggly colorful quilt to wrap up in. Anyone else?
Well, what are you waiting for? The sign-up window for Block Swap opens today and closes March 8th (or when I get 50 people, whichever is first). And if it sounds like a fun idea to you, spread the word. I have had a little help from Denyse (who’s been giving me feedback and sent an invitation to former workshoppers) and a few craft-blog friends, but the more the merrier!
Very nice idea – sounds like a great swap and I’ll watch it develop with much interest. My machine is in the shop for probably 3 weeks so no way can I get it done this time. Hope you’ll do it again someday.
Just wanted to stop by and tell you that I appreciate all the work you’ve put into organizing the block swap. I’m really excited about it. Just ordered the fabric and was told that it won’t be here for 7 – 10 days. Ack! I’m ready to start right now!!!!
Enjoying your blog and your creativity.
Looks like things are a rolling now for the block swap. I, like many others are waiting for my Kona colors to come. But my insomniac brain is dreaming of the blocks I will make….
