Where is everybody?

The wedding might be in Nova Scotia, so I'm not sure what 'they' wear over there. Called "Nova Scotia" for New Scotland.
May I could wear a kilt! 8)

That is as long as it's beige! :roll: :lol: :wink: Actually, I think you should wear anything you darn well please. Congratulations.

Sounds as if everyone has a lot on their plates these days. Hope things go well and energy returns to all of you in abundance.

Here's the final pdf link on the Quilters Newsletter Christmas Houses quilt: http://www.quiltersnewsletter.com/ar...-9-Foundations. Enjoy!

Beverly thank you so much for providing a link to all of these houses and trees. They are now here forever (or until the forum is gone) for anybody to use at any time. I haven't done any of them myself (I made one of Edyta Sitar's farmhouse quilts for my sister recently though) but I am really pleased that you have provided a link to all of these so that I can dip into them at any time in the future. Many thanks.

Don't know where to post this, but after seeing the video from TQS on the red and white quilts, I am now more interested than ever. I have finished my mug rugs, and I know everyone is busy, and Christmas is coming, and then the new BOM in January, so maybe it's not doable, but is anyone interested in doing some sort of red and white swap? What would your ideas be? Specific blocks? Same-sized blocks, random blocks, FQs/fabric. It could be done do-it-yourself style, as the Mug Rugs... and what about time frame? ..

or not?

Terrie,

I love the idea of a red & white quilt. I've never done an exchange so I don't know what is feasible but I think maybe blocks all the same finished size would make it easier to put a quilt together when you have all the blocks. Keep me in mind if you get this started.

Okay!

[NanaPie]

Rita, you are very, very welcome. I'm not working on it now either, which is not to say that it won't become a project later!!

Terrie,

I like the red and white idea also. Maybe the blocks would all be the same size and each of us would pick a particular block and make them to send to each other. I guess that means everyone would have the same quilt, however, we would each be able to set the blocks in our own way. It would be quite a commitment, so people joining would have to be sure to do their share. Just a thought....

So if we followed the similar way of Mug Rugs....2 people would agree to exchange a specific number of blks(1,2,etc)
in a prescribed size (4in., 6in.) in the pattern the makers choice . The number of blocks and the size really need to be the same for all....and red fabric really must be pre-washed and color-fast. Anything else that needs to be added??
Could be fun... I personally think 2, 6 inch blocks would be do-able and would mail anywhere for reasonable postage !!
Terrie... what do you think ? After thought....all whites are not created equal ...mixed whites and creams?? or what ? :?:

There would also be a mix of reds, so a mix of whites shouldn't be a problem.

Does this swap warrant it's own thread yet?

Waiting for Terrie to speak up...she can start the thread ? Instigator that she is ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Re: mixed whites.....Bonnie Hunter style works for me !!
