Swapping Fun...



I love to swap fabrics and blocks with my friends on the HGTV Quilting Forum. Even though I have only met a very few of the ladies 'in person', I feel like I know a lot of them. :-) I met Bingo~Bonnie there a few years ago when she first started swapping. And now she hosts the hugely popular FQ Bingo Game every year. ;-) And the fun little mini-9-patch swap. Somehow quilters always seem to get off of the topic of quilting, and chat about other things and that is when you learn about each other. A few years ago we did a 12 inch 9-patch swap, and we have revived it again this year. One of the ladies mentioned how she'd love to swap floral 9-patch blocks, and next thing I know, I was hosting it. LOL :-) Many of us plan to take the blocks and cut them up to make the disappearing blocks. I'm planning to make a tablecloth out of my swapped blocks... won't it be cute?! That is, unless it is just too beautiful to put on the table! ;-) My blocks are all finished now, and everyone's will be here by August 15th. Now what to do while I wait??? :-)
Until next time, happy stitching!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
