Anyone interested in having a themed embroidered block swap.. perhaps a summer theme for a wall hanging??

I should be interessed, but I need explaination to know how it function

I would luv to do this but unable to right now Got a lot of irons in the fire 4 the summer so going to b hard pressed to get everything done. I luv round robins, swaps etc. *4U

I would love to join in. I love these things and have been in a few quilt block swaps with my quilt group on the net. Please include me. Maybe we should all give you our e-mail addy?! Mine is in my portfolio...just mark Subject line with something like "Cute Embroidery" or "Embroidery Block Swap". *4U ><>

That shounds interesting. Let us all know the details.

Darlene, I might have to wait, until the next one, but I am interested. A flower for your thoughtfulness. Loretta

Well, it looks like there is some interest, I would be willing to facilitate if no one else has a burning desire too. You must be patient though, cause I work full time and have to share the puter with hubbie, I will try to get the details up by next week. In the meanwhile, does anyone have any preference of a theme, I was thinking of summer, any other ideas...? also I was thinking of doing 5 or 6 inch blocks, that way those that only have a 4" hoop could join... What does everyone think?

Darlene,
I would love to do it, it sounds like fun. How do we start, and who will facilitate? Let me know the legistics of such an event. Will be away for two weeks but when I get back I'll have some time.

Sounds like a neat idea but I don't think I would get it accomplished right now. Maybe in the future.

Oh that sounds like fun! I would love to know more and need to know about block size and such. I have never done quilt blocks on the machine embroidery... but would love to try it. Thanks

Sounds fun to do, depending on the theme. Like to hear more.

Sounds like fun.... would you like to facilitate?

Well, in other swaps I have been in a theme is picked everyone who is interested makes at least 6 blocks (an embroidery design on a designated size of fabric). These blocks are sent to the facilitator of the group by a certain pre-set date. She swithes all the blocks and resends them to all the people involved, so everyone would get different blocks from the other participants to sew together and make a wall hanging, small quilt, or whatever else you wanted with them... I have been in swaps with anywhere from 6-12 people. You send your blocks to the facilitator with a SASE to be mailed back to yourself... Hope this makes sense... Darlene

Darlene, I have never done one - can you explain - so we know what we would be saying yes or no to.

I've still got 4 to send to libby, so maybe later for me, ok? ;)
