HALLOWEEN SWAP! CLOSED!

Post by purrfect-lady » Fri Jul 23, 2021 2:03 pm

Hi, Everyone!

Halloween is just around the corner - in quilting speak, anyway. Can you believe it's been 7 years since our last Halloween swap? Tina checked! I was thinking it had only been 3. Time flies! Anyway, we ARE having a swap and I'm opening up sign-ups now through Aug 15th. I know it's coming hard on the heels of the Christmas swap, but time is flying by. I'm giving extra time to sign up because I know many of you want to see how the Christmas swap goes. Blocks will be 12-1/2", quilter's choice, traditional Halloweeny colors of black, purple, orange, lime green, golds, yellows, etc. They can be pieced or applique. No machine embroidery. Sign-ups will close Aug. 15th and blocks will need to be to me by October 7th. I will try to do as quick a turnaround as I can and get them back to you ASAP. I have return envelopes.

The usual swap rules apply and by now you all know them :

*PLEASE remember, once you sign up, you are committed.
*PLEASE make sure your blocks are at least 12-1/2" square. No one wants undersized blocks.
*PLEASE do not square them up. They can ravel some during transit.
*PLEASE include $8.55 for return postage. Cash or checks are OK.
*PLEASE put your name somewhere on each block. I don't care where.
*PLEASE keep in touch, weekly. Through this thread is best, but texts and e-mails are also OK. PM me if you need my info. Don't make me hunt you down. It makes me cranky.

When you decide on your block, let me know. Remember, this is HALLOWEEN, not simply fall, so your chosen block should reflect the Halloween spirit. We would like a picture of your block when you have a sample ready to share. If you can't post photos, I can do it for you, if you text me your photo.

Now let's get our spooky side on!

WOW 🀩 7 yrs????? I gave my quilt to my grandson Spencer who LOVED πŸ₯° it!!!

I am IN for sure. Was actually looking at Halloween blocks the other day wondering …

Ok I GOT IT!!!! with the help of Maryz sharing a idea on fabric choices.
I will be making a RING of CANDY CORN.
60* triangles with added corners.
:) :) :)

Now just need to keep going with my Christmas Swap Trees and quilt one quilt.
This swap is a definitely fast turn-a-round.

Purples, blacks, lime green, yellows.... all kinds of colors say Halloween, especially in combination with each other ❀ not just oranges.

I was in Tacoma today and stopped at Joann's. They had all their Halloween fabrics in and 25% off! If you have their app, you get even more off. Also, our Joann's has now put out a sign on the door that says they are pet friendly. We can take Foxy fabric shopping to see what colors look best to show off his beautifulness!

Deb, we can always use cheerleaders! But if you change your mind before August 15, we will save a spot for you!
