NO THEME ~ABC~ SWAP

Please PM me w/ you info
Name~real & board, Addy's~home & email and your Phone # along w/ which letter(s) you'd like. You can take no more than 2. I'll add you to the list after I receive your info. Whose ever PM w/ a certain letter that I get 1st, gets that letter.

You can send different fabrics for ea letter, (ie- IF you have 'D' and have 2 different dog fabrics, that'd be ok to send in)

Only LGS quality fabric, please, which needs to be
WASHED, IRONED, CUT into 27 - 6.5" sq
w/ selvage cut off BEFORE CUTTING into sq's The extra set will be for a charity quilt. 1 yd should be enough to get that many sq's UNLESS YOU NEED TO FUSSY CUT! (I usualy buy a little extra incase of shrinkage or mistake in cutting)

Place each set of sq's in a separate baggie and slip a card w/ your name/addy & letter on one side and my name and addy on the other.

All sq's needs to be in my hands by Nov 23rd...that's 5 weeks! I think that gives you plenty of time to get your sq's mailed!


~Please enclose a SASE (self address STAMPED Envelope) NO Metered mail!!!

A Wink means you have let me know you sent your sq's & a Big Grin means I have rec'd them!

It usually makes a difference what browser you are using. I'd you can't send by clicking name go to top and go to new then personal the private message. Follow directions. I can't click on,name if I am using my phone .

Glad so many letters have been spoken for! I answered all PM's that I had.

Sorry a couple of the letters were already taken that a few of you wanted. I hope you can pick a different 1 so that you can join in this swap!

I updated the list w/ names that claimed the letters 1st.

Who else wants to grab a letter??

I like these...but would have to go to the quilt shop (not sure when that would be Roll Eyes) to see what they have and then come back and ask for a letter and they might be all gone by then....oh well, next time...

Do you need to be a HGTV member to play? Mom would be interested in the letter M if she can play. If so, you can put down Jeanne and we are at the same address. Let me know and I can mail it in my package and save **$.

Sprmom, as I was out running errands, I stopped at JA's cause a co-worker wanted me to let her know when I was hosting this again [it was the 1st chance I had to ask her what letters she wants] and she took those letters...I'm so sorry, I just got home and got on to update the list. I sure hope you can take a couple other letters.
