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 April 20th...that's 6 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~Pvillelou ~ ~B~Sewlove2quilt ~ ~C~Keepyouinstitches ~ ~D~Longjohn ~ ~E~SueB ~ ~F~Crazyboutquilting ~ ~G~AppleBetty ~ ~H~EvelynB ~ ~I~Aliquilts ~ ~J~Ilovemy4kids ~ ~K~Chlynn1129 ~ ~L~llcp48 ~ ~M~KC1930 ~ ~N~Pvillelou ~ ~O~MonkeyMom ~ ~P~MonkeyMom ~ ~Q~AJ ~ ~R~Chlynn1129 ~ ~S~Holly In South Jersey ~ ~T~Dixieldy ~ ~U~Kentucky_Sunshine ~ ~V~Longjohn ~ ~W~EvelynB ~ ~X~TerryOH ~ ~Y~Sewlove2quilt ~ ~Z~jobows ~ Get READY, SET, GO raid your stash or visit your LQS for your fabric!

Got my fabrics in the washer right now. I'm doing W and H. I do love these quilts and appreciate someone hosting for us. Evelyn | ||||

I will take X. I bought some material a long time ago knowing someone would do an alphabet swap and need an X. Now the X will not be an unwanted "child" TerryOH | ||||

MaryLou, the 'N' is yours! Aliquilts, I put you down for the letter 'I', glad you joined us! Ilovemy4kids, sorry to say, Aliquilts grabbed the letter 'I' 1st...I put you down for 'J', though. Is there another letter you'd like? Only a few letters left.... ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving.

I tried to PM you could not get it to work I will take Q please. AJ Make someone smile today. | ||||
|
![]() |
AJ, I sent you a PM...'Q' is yours! Thanks for joining the swap! Here's a good suggestion from Chlynn: "please make sure the squares are suitable for juveniles. My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves his quilt! He looks at it all the time and we name the squares. However, in some past exchanges I have received some squares that I had to replace. For example: W was a wine bottle...E was Elvis fabric. I am sorry, but my grandson does not know what an Elvis is! Nor did I like the wine bottle" The ONLY letter left is 'Z'....who wants it?? ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving. Take time for friends & happy living! **************************** | |||
|
I will take the 'z'. I wasn't going to do it.... but.... ETA: It *might be me.... but I cannot PM you?! I pushed the button and nothing comes up.... Jolene ------> who doesn't have a 'cool' siggy yet... | ||||
|

Jobows ~ I sent you a PM, so reply to it w/ all your info, k? Thanks for taking the last letter! When I send a PM, I click on the person's name, then click on "view public profile", then scroll down a bit and click on "send private message"....hope that helps! Ilovemy4kids, JA's fabric is ok IF it's not then & see thru. I got my 'B' fabric from their novelty section. 'LQS' = local quilt store ****************************** Take time for kindness & for giving. Take time for friends & happy living! **************************** | |||

Take time for friends & happy living! **************************** | |||
|
Yeah, that was super fast! Mine will go in the mail tomorrow. I will send a confirmation # when I get home. Thank you, Sew, sew, and sew some more that's my motto! | ||||
|
Hey Jobows! I KNEW you'd jump in! We should get together next week and sew! This week is busy, but next week would be good. So glad you joined the ABC swap! | ||||
|
Since I already have prewashed fabric in my stash for this swap, it won't be hard to get my package ready to go. However, DH is in the hospital with pneumonia so it will be at least a few days before I can get them cut and ready to go. | ||||
|
Mine were mailed today. Evelyn | ||||
