Coffee/teapot Swap -- UPDATE SEPT. 19TH

[SewSew]

UPDATE:

I will be mailing out teapots later today.

9/10/08

I do not want to leave anyone out but I don't know what is going on with Dj. I have sent pm and email messages and received no answer. The last word was that she had mailed the blocks priority mail, but that was over a week ago. I will wait until Saturday and then sort and mail back whatever blocks I have, if I do not receive Dj's blocks then everyone will be getting 2 of their own back.

As I said, I do not want to exclude anyone but because of personal circumstances and the fact that we are already a month overdue, I need to close up this swap. I have experssed my concerns to a few of you and explained my situation, to those that I have not gone into details with, I ask that you please be understanding.

I am still keeping my fingers crossed that Dj will come through by Saturday.

Ann

Ann, how many sets of 9 do we have to make?

Denise

[SewSew]

One set will make a nice wall hanging, I don't know if anyonw would want to make a large quilt.

Ann

[BamaGirl]

Yes, count me in!!! Now, to choose which teapot and pick my fabric--- the FUN part!!

I'm thinking of doing these with Eleanor's fusible interfacing method, and then appliqueing the edges... Would that work, do you think?

Gwen

[SewSew]

Gwen, if you can make one of each design and that way we can get a nice variety for each wall hanging.

Ann

[BamaGirl]

okay, I will do that. Should I make them from different fabrics, too, or use the same fabric, and just different patterns?

Gwen

Okay, here comes the "confused lady". I tried to calculate and flopped that course! Are we making 20 sets of 9 each? Or just 1 set of 9? I THINK 1 set of 9 by 20 people will give each person 9 blocks. Is that right?
If we're just making 9 blocks, ie., 1 set of 9 different pots, then I'm in. Please sign me up. Surely we can make 180 blocks! DUH, don't think I'm figurin' quite right. This sounds like fun and I love the patterns.
If I haven't thoroughly confused you, SewSew, let me know and I'll try again! LOL
Yes, sign me up, I'm in! Thanks bunches, carol/kittyquilt
