1  CLOTHING / Clothing for Kids: Completed Projects / Girls Summer Outfits on: May 20, 2013 05:16:55 AM
I love the tutti fruitti line of fabric and knew they would make sweet outfits for our little cousins! Used Butterick Pattern 3477. The flowers in the picture are part of the headbands that I made to match the outfit.

Thanks for looking!



2  QUILTING / Quilting: Completed Projects / First (two) Quilt(s)! on: March 29, 2013 07:19:46 PM
I decided to make my boys quilts (at the urging of my stepmom) to go along with their LSU themed room remodel. I made the tops and my stepmom (who is the proud owner of a longarm) helped me quilot them. After a week of looking at the "quilt sandwich" I bit down my fear of binding and got after it!

There are some bobbles, but I am happy with them and my twins love them.

Twin #1 - Purple Binding



Twin #2 - Yellow bindning

3  QUILTING / Quilting: Discussion and Questions / Scared to add binding .... on: March 28, 2013 08:50:08 AM
Please help me get over this insane fear! I made and quilted my first two quilt tops and now I am scared to attach the binding. I don't know what my mental bloack is about this! The quilt tops were not anything special - just some jelly roll race type quilts - it wasn't like I spent hours of my life doing them!

Help me get over this so that my twins room remodel can be completed!  Shocked
4  ORGANIZED CRAFT SWAPS / New Swap Theme Ideas / Teacher Appreciation Gifts Swap? on: March 24, 2013 07:18:41 PM
Teacher's Appreciation week is quickly approaching and I always make crafty goodies for my boys teachers. I'd love to share some craftster goodness with them! Would anyone be interested in this type is swap? I was thinking either a 3 pt swap or even a Sweat Shop type style swap.

What do you think?
5  ORGANIZED CRAFT SWAPS / New Swap Theme Ideas / Craft the Rainbow Swap? on: March 17, 2013 03:21:32 PM
Would anyone be interested in a "Craft the Rainbow" swap? I was thinking we would craft 7 different items for our partner. Each item should have a main color or the rainbow - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. I was thinking it would be a 10-12 point swap in whichever combination you come up with.

What do you think? Would anyone be interested?
6  PURSES, BAGS, WALLETS / Purses, Bags, Wallets: Completed Projects: Reconstructed / Upcycled Jeans Bag ... Gone Country :) on: March 07, 2013 05:22:13 AM
Here is a purse I made during the craftalong. I used a pair of Wranglers and some John Deere fabric



Back - I love the pockets - they are so handy to slip a cell phone into Smiley

Thankd for looking!

DETAILS OF SWAP

Welcome to the Givers and Needers swap! This is round 11!

Is your stash invading your craft space, over flowing your drawers, and pouring out of the closets? If so, this swap is for you!

OR

Do you need supplies to be able to try new crafts, complete those pinterest projects, or refill your empt craft room? If so, this swap is for you too!


WELCOME GIVERS!

If you have an overabundance of craft supplies and are feeling the need to purge, here are the details you need to read!

Givers will send a box of craft supplies to a needer so they can continue their love for crafting. In return, you will receive a small crafted item as a "thank" made with love from your needer. The giver can choose the size and amount of supplies they send, just make sure to send enough to help the needer without breaking your budget. Send something you'd be happy to receive.

This is a great way to stash and help a fellow crafter out who may for various reasons need some supply help.

WELCOME NEEDERS!

If you have more cobwebs than craft supplies in your closets, here are the details you need to read!

Needers will receive a box of supplies from a very generous giver.  In return, you will send a thank you gift that is the equivalent of a small. The thank you gift does not need to be crafted from the supplies the giver sends. The minimum is a small, but feel free to spoil your giver!

But WAIT - Can I be BOTH?!?!

Done with papercrafts, but want to try your hand at embroidery, keep reading!

If you would like to be both a Giver and a Needer you can! Just be sure to fill out both sections of the questionnaire.

Other IMPORTANT Info

Please put G&N 11 in all PM subjects.
Please mark all PM's with Approval, Sent, Received
I reserve the right to refuse ANYONE based on late sending, history of incomplete packages, etc, etc.  
Should your needs be something that no givers are offering, you may be contacted about changing your questionnaire.

You must have swapped at least once before to join this swap as a needer.
