Description:

I love to receive little pieces of art in the mail. So I thought why not start a quiltie swap.

Size restrictions 8"by8" to 81/2"by11". Then we should be able to just mail it in a manilla envelope or smaller bubble envelope, depending on embellishments.

WHAT IS A QUILTIE? It is a mini quilt by the fact that it is normally created with a top, middle and a back. I personally don't always use batt as the centre, sometimes I use felt or flannel, depends on the body of the finished product. I hope this helps with some questions.

So it needs to be bound, have hand stitching(do amount you are comfortable with), please put a label on the back with your name and where you are from.

I am going to give 6 weeks between sign up and send out to give everyone a little work time.

Hope some of you want to play.

Any questions or concerns please just ask.

It's on my watchlist. I didn't make a quiltie before, so I want to make sure I can do it in 6 weeks before I signup.

When you write hand stitching, do you mean embroidery or that it must be done by hand, not machine? I was thinking about ideas for this swap and I was not sure about this.

A combination of machine sewn and hand is fine. I quite often do my background on the machine then add hand stitching.

Just joined this swap! I only want to tell you, that if you are my swappartner, please do NOT use wool in your quiltie. I'm allergic to it. It's on my profile too, but I wanted to tell it here, because this is a project where wool would be nice to use if you're not allergic. Sometimes people started to work on their swaps early.
