I Can Make It ! Posted Feb 09, 2008 07:08 PM I will host the swap. I will post complete details soon but wanted to let you know my plan.
The usual rules. Blocks to me by May 27th.
I am saying 9 in a set so that it could be a nine patch wall hanging or lap quilt. REMEMBER WHEN CHOOSING YOUR FABRIC WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET BACK. Please wash all of your fabric and press it.
Anything recieved after May 27 will not be swapped. There will not be a sign up since I will swap set for set of what I have on the 27 of May.
Be sure to put in your self addressed postage paid envelope to recieve back the amount you send. Put everything in a zip lock bags so that if the envelope is opened it will stay together. Add a card with your name and address on 1 side and mine on the other so it can be return to 1 of us. pm me to get my mailing address.
Swap 1 6 1/2 in. fabric squares any butterfly print. Sets of 9
Swap 2 appliqued butterfly blocks 6 1/2 in. Sets of 9
If I left anything out please let me know.
Ok here is who has signed up so far. Remember it is not absolutely needed to sign up but lets us know how many are interrested.
Played around with one of the applique blocks today...hmmm, needs work The fabric squares part is done and ready to go. Still, it made me feel like spring will actually come despite the fact that we got bunches of snow again today...

I found another really cute butterfly fabric yesterday, so will cut one more set. Since these are not due until the end of May, I might keep looking in April and then send out. Tammy
This is really fun having the date set so far out. I just keep cuting and stacking and cutting and stacking trying not to buy but well you all know how that goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to stop in Joanns today so we will see if I can be good or not.
Joann's has a new line of butterfly fabric in the novelty prints and they are 30% off. MYMYMYMY I was pretty good 1 pattern.99, 1 magazine with 40% off coupon, 2-1 yard pieces of butterfly print for a grab bag purse at 30% off.

on my list of things to work on this week...I just can't decide. How on earth can you decide between all the cool butterflies out there. Maybe I should just take the closed eye, point and choose method.

I know what you mean. I have a really hard time passing up any of them. Then I get them home and don't want to cut them because I might think of a better way to use them. Sometimes I just pull out a bunch of them and put them on my cutting table and look at them and touch them. Only you ladies would understand that. Sometimes on a bad day I might even hug them. Then I think about how I came to be butterfly lady and love them so much. It helps to get through a rough spot. Waiting for more to fly in.
