SCRAPPY QUILTERS SWAP IDEAS 2022

This is in no way a complete list. Please note that we can always use a hostess to help facilitate a swap, but you have to contact me first at luv2cutfab@gmail.com. Please scroll the way down for more information.

NON SEWN SWAPS: *CHARMS: Size: 5 inch square *LAYER CAKES: Size: 10 inch square

SECRET SISTER: This is a one-on-one swap, but you will not have the person who draws your name. Rules to be determined at time of swap and same guidelines apply as above.

ROUND ROBIN: A fun way to get a quilt top made by sending it to fellow quilters.

ANYTHING GOES BOX:  Pass along your gently used items to others.

SECRET SANTA:  A one-time swap between two people to exchange gifts.

ONE TIME BLOCK SWAP:  To be decided by the group, size, type and theme.

CHARITY QUILTS:  A selection of different blocks to choose from and then donated as a quilt to the charity of your choice.

ONE ON ONE SWAP: Make a block and swap with your partner.

BLOCK SWAP:  To be decided by the group, possibly 2-3 times a year.  You make a block for each player.

RETREAT BLOCK: Join in on the fun and win the lottery!

SIMPLE SALLY:  Make a project, like a stocking or pincushion and exchange with friends.

SQUIRRELS: Watch out for challenges to be announced such as new ideas, tips or projects.

CHALLENGES: There may be a new quilt coming, watch for more info.

PATTERN SWAP:  Do you have too many patterns?  Share them with friends.

MODERATORS: ALL SWAPS MUST BE APPROVED BY ME FIRST.  All swaps, challenges, etc., will have a FB messenger group assigned. 

If you are interested in hostessing one of these you will need to be a moderator; please contact me at luv2cutfab@gmail.com and we can work it out together.

We are always looking for new swap ideas and people to help hostess. Please keep in mind that unless it is a Secret Sister Swap, all swaps are decentralized. That means signing up and then sending the list on to everyone. Please send your ideas to me and we can work it out together.

MINI BLOCK CLUB 2019

CLUB STARTS:   JANUARY 10, 2019

CLUB ENDS:   DECEMBER 31, 2019

DEADLINE TO SIGN UP:   JANUARY 1, 2019

THIS IS NOT A SWAP, BUT A CLUB! This is designed for those of us who love challenges and miniatures, especially mini blocks!

Starting January 10, 2019, I will post 4 different mini blocks to work on. These will be pieced blocks, starting with easy and progressing from easy to challenging.  You can access the block patterns with links that I will provide and you can find these in the files.  I will be posting the first set of blocks with pictures on the 10th of each month.

The size of the blocks will be 6.5 or 3.5 inches in size but no larger.  Some blocks may appear to be incomplete, but keep them aside as they will fit into other blocks later on for the overall final design.  This quilt top will be like putting together a jigsaw puzzle.

COLORS:  I will be working with small prints, mostly scrappy colors but controlled.  I prefer blues, reds, yellows, etc.  You can use whatever you prefer, this is your quilt.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:  Will be posted on January 1, 2019.  Since I will be using scraps, it will be an estimate.

BLOCKS:  All four blocks will be posted on the 10th of the month with directions and pictures.  Please, I am only human, if you find a mistake or have a question, please let me know and we can fix it together.

The Mini Block Club is a yearlong commitment. I expect to see pictures at the end of each month in order to stay.   The blocks are available under the files section and are free to use.  I never charge for patterns as most of them are under a free domain.   If you find that one of the blocks is one that you are not comfortable with, you can leave it out, but it might affect the quilt top later on, just saying so in advance.

Please do not just drop out without saying goodbye first. I am hoping that this club will bring friends closer and that we can have some fun!

Now at FaceBook

Hello Everyone

 

Welcome!

It seems that everyone is migrating to FaceBook lately so I thought it would be a good idea to add our group here.  We will still have our group on Yahoo and our blog, but I feel that we need to reach out to our members so that we can continue to share our love of quilting and friendship together.  This will not be taking the place of our group, just adding to it.

 

If you have friends that you would like to invite, please do so.  Thank you for dropping by.

 
Here is the link to the group:
