Round Robin Wrap-up

2009-12-29T21:19:00.000-08:00

Everyone has now received there Round Robin parcels so I suppose I should post some pictures showing what everyone done.

Now to refresh peoples memory, and for the non-participants. 12 lovely ladies all chose a 12" block each and some material and sent in 12 lots of the material to be made into each person choosen block.

The participants and there finished blocks

Piggy - Card Tricks

Esther - Golden Gate

(note the instructions are for a 9" block)

Becky - Schoolgirl Puzzle

Anna - Her Own design

Louise - Coronation

This is one of my favourite blocks, especially since it was Louise's first ever swap and I now she was quite nervous at the start. Looking at these I can understand why she took 4hrs to do each block. Well done Louise.

Khris - Honey Bee

Kirsty - Eight Point Star

I was asked why my points were so neat and the reason was due to the use of templates that allowed you to put a pencil dot where the point was, thus allowing you to only sew to that point.

Dani - Circle of Geese

Ruth - Double T

Kayscha - Ohio Star

Car -Summer Winds

I am still trying to work out how to post a link to a few of the instructions that I only have a pdf sheet for, if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated

To see pictures of the blocks in each persons chosen material, please go to the individual blogs and they will be posted sometime after today.

EB Charm Square Fabric Swap - Sign Ups

2009-12-14T13:00:00.000-08:00

EB Charm Square Fabric Swap 2010

What it is?

A swap of 40 charm squares and/or charm squares size cuts of fabrics from your stash. You need to put together 40 squares to be swapped and in return you will receive 40 different squares to the ones you sent.

**NOTE: If you would like to send less than 40 squares that is fine, whatever number you send through is the same number you will receive back.**

What to do?

Go through your fabric stash and find any charm squares (singles/packs) that you don't want/don't think you will use AND/OR cut out charm square size (5 inch x 5 inch) pieces of all sorts of different coloured/patterned fabrics (no plains) of cotton/quilters cotton. Once you have your 40 squares, send them together with a prepaid self-addressed (back to you!) 500gram bag (and registered post label which you can now pre-purchase from the post office for $2.80 if you would like your parcel sent back registered).

Then I will go through all the charm squares once received from everyone and post you back 40 charm squares of different fabrics that you didn't send me (as long as we don't all send in the same, lol!). So you will get a mix of 40 different squares (i'll do my best at co-ordinating sets of fabrics that go together if people like?).

Then when everyone has received maybe we could have a challenge of making something for ourselves with our new fabrics at some stage in the year?

Signups Open: NOW

Signups Close: Friday 15th January 2010

Fabrics to be posted to me by: Friday 5th February 2010.

This gives you 3 weeks from when signups officially close to get the fabrics back to me - but of course you can start thinking about this now and while completing project put aside those small pieces that you could use for this swap : )

Fabrics will be posted back to you: Monday 15th February 2010

(or earlier depending on how long it takes me to go through all the squares).

Once signup close I will email everyone my postal details for where to post your fabric. Signup on EB in the Newbie Quilters thread and I'll add your name to the list here : )

And here is a close up of half of the fabric

And here is the other half

Now here is all that same fabric sorted into all the envelopes waiting to be taken down to my local Post Office each month. I started out putting them in the gold bag and soon realised that I needed a larger container to hold them in. The ones shown in the gold bag are the ones for August alone.

I hope you all having fun working on your first two blocks for July

Remember to try and have them back to me by the 24 July.

Final swap details

2009-06-23T23:27:00.000-07:00

Now that we have sorted out the participants for the swap, and have all chosen a block to make. You should all be assembling your fabric to send to me.

Just wanted to put all the final information in one place to make it easier for all.

You are to sort your material into 12 lots each containing 2 Fat 1/8s of main/contrast and 1 Fat 1/4 of background material. Please them bag up 11 lots, make the bags as flat as possible, preferably the size of 1/2 C4 envelope, to make sure we keep on the posties good side. Please number the bags 1 -11, but no names please

Then you are to send the bags to me along with 6 self addressed prepaid C4 envelopes and 1 self addressed prepaid 3kg satchel. Please email me if you need my postal address.

Once I have all parcels I will send out the block for the first month, you will all have your own material to make into a block as well. Once you have made both blocks please send them both back to me.

I will provide you for a deadline date for the first month once all the fabric parcels are received

Remember sneak peaks of your completed blocks only.

Round Robin Block Swap

2009-05-30T04:20:00.000-07:00

Now that the wall hanging swap is all done and dusted, it is time for us Newbies to have another Swap, this time with a twist.

This swap will run over the next 6 months and at the end you will have 12 different blocks made in your choice of fabric that would be suitable to make into a single bed quilt or do with as you desire.

Interested, well then to start off

Sign up on the EB Newbie Quilters thread
Decide on a block that you would like to make.
Decide on the material that you would like to use

Need more details of that part

BLOCKS

You decide on a 12.5" (12" finished) block that you feel comfortable making. Please note that if your block contains more then two colors then you may have to provide the extra material from your own stash. Once you have decided on a block, please email Kirsty so she can ensure that there is no double up, please also tell Kirsty the fabric requirement for your block, no of pieces needed only not size required. Also please put some thought into your block selection, eg no-one is to do a nine patch block, to simple :)

MATERIAL

Choose your material to make up the quilt and bag it up into 12 zip lock bags (or similar) each bag is to contain enough material to make a 12" (finished) block. Depending on how scrappy you want your quilt to be it could be just two-three pieces (min to be confirmed), is so then allow at least a fat 1/8 of each in each bag.

If you have provided say more than 4 pieces decide if you are happy to have people add their own material into the block or not, if you only provide two or three pieces, you may find that people will have to add to your choice in order to do their block, say if it's a pattern that has 4 different materials to it.

Conversely if you have provided lots of pieces, please decide if you are happy for them to use only a couple of pieces, or if you want a scrappy quilt, EG some blocks can be done in two tones or scrappy, like a log cabin

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

Send Kirsty all 12 bag (please label then 1-12) along with your preferences, 6 self addressed prepaid envelopes (C4 $2.50 should be fine) and one 500g prepaid satchel, so that I can send all 12 finished block back to you.

Each month you will be sent two bags to make a block for two different people, you will then have a month to send the completed blocks back along with any remaining (usable sized) material.

At the end of the six months (hopefully before Christmas) you will receive 12 completed blocks in your chosen fabric for you to do with as you please. I worked out that with a 2" sashing and 56" x 70" quilt.

Some further details

Please note that these swap guidelines apply to this swap
This swap requires 12 participants, which will be filled on a first serve basis, so let Kirsty know ASAP.
Once all 12 places are filled you will be pm with Kirsty's email and postal address.
Please don't post your block choice on EB, PM to Kirsty
Applicable dates for providing the 12 bags etc to Kirsty and also sending back the completed blocks will be posted on this site once all places are filled.

All clear, if not please either PM Kirsty or reply this post.

Please note that these swap guidelines apply to this swap

Edited - Once I know the fabric requirements for all blocks I will determine the minimum fabric required and well as tell you what the total requirements are eg 4 blocks are 2 fabrics, 1 is 5 fabrics etc so that you can decide what you want to send in. If you wish to send it bags with different amounts of fabrics in them please clearly label the number of fabrics on them.

Kayscha's Update

2009-03-22T03:04:00.000-07:00

I am delighted to share that today I put together the top of my wallhanging, as well as the back. It is totally different to my original plan and I love it, I hope the recipient does as well. I now have to sit down and quilt it, sandwich, bind and label it then it will be finished. I can not believe that I haven't left it to the last minute!! (well, I shouldn't speak too soon, it is not completed YET). Will post a sneaky peak next weekend, when I will hopefully have internet restored!

Sneak Peak just posted on my blog :)

2009-03-18T20:20:00.000-07:00

HELP!!!

I am a little stuck on colour choices for my swappee... I have in my mind something that I *think* will work, but am hoping that you can ALL reply here and tell me your preferred colours!!!

For example - I LOVE most colours!!! I don't have a favorite as such and would be happy to receive just about anything in any colour way. I do however draw the line at the old style 'country & floral fabrics...

Material purchased, design done now just to ...

2009-03-07T20:11:00.000-08:00

Get some time to sew.

I have tried to do a sneak peek of what I have so far but.. my material would give away to much and my pattern... that would also give away to much. So sorry lovely ladies you will just have to wait.

Till next time

Kayscha is a little excited...

2009-03-06T22:50:00.001-08:00

I am so excited, today I decided on my final design for my wallhanging and the fabric as well...hoping the end result is as lovely in reality as it is in my head!! I am doing something that is a new technique and am looking forward to tackling it! Anyone else have an update on how they are going? Now to get back to another WIP that needs to be completed before the wallhanging is due!
