Fall Swap #2 - Batik Leaves Are Falling. See picture of Lori's leave.

[CraftinDJ]

Okay, the other fall swap - a sampler was for only 10 participants. And boy, did I get quite a few PMs and emails from those that missed out. So to accomodate those that missed out on the sampler. I'm sure you will enjoy these blocks just as much.





Another layout using maple leaves and noodles (this picture is for another layout not the color of the leaves):





These are to be 9.5" blocks (finishing block 9" when sewn into a quilt).

Colors: Fall colored batiks for the leaf and Kona Natural for the background.

Swapping: 10 bags of 2 for a total of 20 leaves. Make 4 to keep for yourself so when the swap is over, you’ll have 24 blocks for each round!

Due Dates:
Round 1 - August 18, 2008 (6 weeks)
Round 2 - September 29, 2008 (12 weeks)

Please send a self-addressed stamped envelope for return blocks. No metered postage. REMEMBER - COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL SWAP.

DJ The leaves are 6.5 in the Fall 1 sampler. These say they are 9.5.


Vicky

[CraftinDJ]

Yikes - thanks Vicky. Jan please note they are 9.5" so not the same in the Fall Sampler.

I'd like to get in on this swap, but not sure I can make the August deadline. Put me down and I'd do my best. I've never worked with batiks before. Lori

[CraftinDJ]
