[size=14]Hostess: Holly E
~ This is a one time seasonal swap.
~The theme for the wall hanging/table mat is Halloween.
~~Sign ups start the first of September and the partner list will be posted on the 5th of the month. You need to have your completed project in the mail by the 10th OF OCTOBER.
~Please copy and paste the sign up list into a "reply to" post on this thread and add your name and preferences. (like no spiders or witches please and if a wallhanging- if you'd like a hanging sleeve on the back or tabs on the top for hanging it up).
~When you sign up, please indicate if you'd like a wall hanging or a table mat. A wall hanging will have to have either hanging tabs or a hanging sleeve on the back. We want the receiver to be able to use this right away.
~The wall hanging/table mat must measure AT LEAST 12" square, however, you MAY choose to make it larger.
~The project needs to have at least two pieced blocks (eg. paper, foundation, or traditional piecing) and two appliqued blocks (eg. hand turned, or using a nice stitch to prevent fraying if washed.)You can use more if you like. You can also embroider in these blocks or use bead work.
~Please quilt your wall hanging/table mat. It doesn't have to be a lot of quilting, nor fancy, but just enough to hold it together nicely.Of course you may feel free to express your creativity with your quilting as well!
~If something comes up and you are unable to send your swap out by the deadline, please PM(private message) your hostess and your partner.
Have Fun!!! Coloring book pages are great for applique ideas. In the example shown above, the pumpkin block was simply a coloring page design.The kitty block was found by googling "halloween silhouettes"...very easy! The example shown above uses 9" finished blocks with a 3/4" inner border and a 2 1/2"(finished) outer border and the blocks were found at the Quilters Cache.
