hi-5!!! i did it.i finished all 70 of my signature blocks!!!
{these are for the repro signature block swap.}
so here's what i want to talk to yall about...
i'm considering hosting a modernistic siggy swap.
{this will be after the holidays...to kick off the new year.}
i'm projecting this will be a swap with fabrics from designers like:
kate spain, tula pink, lila tueller
amy butler, patty young, anna maria horner
denyse schmidt & heather bailey.
{just to name a few.}
a few guidelines as of now:
the swap will be centralized.
international peeps are welcome.
a tutorial will be posted on my blog for the blocks to be made from.
{i am also going to mock up a setting pattern for our blocks.}
everyone will HAVE to use quilt shop quality fabrics.
we will communicate via flickr.
& a charity quilt will be donated!!!
i'm ONLY gauging interest now just so i know what to expect.
so let me know if yall are interested.
please note:
saying you are interested now does not automatically commit you to the swap.
there will be official sign ups after the new year.
oh and don't forget about my giveaway!!!
the prizes are AMAZING!!!
promise.

this sounds like sooo much fun! i am in the process of making my first quilts... actually doll quilts for my best friend's girls. i plan to baste, quilt and bind them over thanksgiving. making these has given me an incredible itch to continue quilting!
I'm in ... even though it's not official or anything :)
fun fun fun! :) I'd love to play along!
it sounds like fun, but not sure if i can sign up or anything
Signature blocks look good. I think I will take the plunge and would love to join in the block swap however I live in Australia. Is it open to us?
I saw that there was a swap already going on somewhere, I am like 95% certain it's the one you are in, I was sad I couldn't jump on board, this would make me supper dupper happy!!
I would love to do a "modern" swap...let us know when.
Would be great contrast to have the traditional then contemporary sig quilts...
I would be interested...
I would love to participate in a siggy block swap.
I think this would be fun! Any idea on the deadline? That's my deciding factor right now :)
I would like to participate but, getting those fabrics may be an issue... will you work out a swap or will you post some FQ's in your etsy for us rural folk?
I'd be interested!
Sounds great! I found you yesterday...I plan to make the Friendship bag this weekend with some Kaffe fabrics!
I think a block swap sounds fun!
Modern siggy swap...definitely!
Definitely sounds like something I'd like to do, but I'll have to jump in with Amy right now and say I can't be sure until I know the dates!
Sounds like fun...especially with the types of fabrics you mentioned. Looking forward to hearing the details.
I'm interested! But I would need more info like dates and how many blocks I'd have to make ('cause God bless you, honey, but I don't know that I'd want to make 70 blocks!!) before I definitely say yes!

A modern siggy swap sounds fun to me!!

I don't currently do much with those designers but I'd really like to. I'm thinking I'm in!
I've gotten bunches of fabrics from those designers, sounds like fun!! :-)
Modern Siggy - yes! I'm up for that!
I will do it!!! Can't wait for the official sign up.
i am sooo in on this one!! I missed teh deadline for the repro fabric and my sister (of Pumpkin Patch Primitives) was making her 70 blocks this weekend while I looked on in envy. I so wanted to swap. Now I will have a chance! Thanks! I'll keep an eye out for signups!
I will be in like Flynn...

Yippee! Definitely interested in a modernist siggy swap!
Sounds like fun. And since it's AFTER the holidays, I'm up for signing up. Can't wait to hear about more details.
Love the signature blocks, love those designers. In fact, a local quilt shoppe has started to carry Hushabye, and I really need a good excuse to get some!!!! I would tatally be interested in joining.
Blessings,

Rachel,
I'm in the civil war siggie, and would love to do the modern one, too. One thought came to mind as I was signing the current blocks - it would be cool to have the blog addy of the swappers on the blocks.
Jo
Sounds fun! I would be up for that.
signature blocks look wonderful! nice to see another 'ohio gal' on the web :)
Yes, Yes, and YES! I would love to be a part of the Siggy Swap! Keep me posted! How exciting!!! Your Signature blocks are wonderful! You, so inspire me!
YES....very interested! Modernistic sounds great!!!
Sounds like fun! Although I have a basket full of quilt shop fabrics, some people may not be able to afford them. What about a pre-swap/ donation pool of fabric for those folks? You KNOW I love ya, just an idea... :)
As long as it's after the holidays, I'd love to swap. Kathie L. in Allentown
Your siggy swap idea sounds wonderful!
I would love to participate!
Sonja
I'd be curious to know more about this potential swap and how difficult the block design would be. I am a beginning quilter, but could use the practice. Of course, I don't want anyone to be offended by my newness :)
I'm in the repro one, so add me to the list of the peeps interested in the modern one! thanks! I'll keep an eye out for more details.
Looking forward to receiving your block in the swap!
I'd love to join the modern siggy swap. I just got a huge order in of Amy Butler, Patty Young, Heather Bailey fabric. So, I'm ready.

I've never done a swap before. It might just be a lot of fun!

I would be interested!! Inquiring minds want to know...
I'd love to know more!!

70 blocks, WOW lots of stitching but yes consider me down under here in New Zealand. Think quilts would look fun with people checking out where the blocks are from and finding international on there too, welcome to the bog wide world of quilting!
I would be so in on this one....I loved doing the other one...it was the first time I pieced blocks and I had a blast. will bookmark your blog, so I can check back after the first of the year!
PS...do you have any idea what size or would they be the same as we did for Melissa's swap? I would love to make some while I am on vacation at Christmas time.
thanks,
Anett
I'm definitely interested! :)
I'd love to do it!
You can count me in!!
I would love to do it ! Count me in :)
I have never done a signature block. Sounds like fun.
would love to join in.
Yes, I would be interested. I'm glad you re-mentioned something about this on a current post because I missed this on bloglines for some reason! Thanks!
How did I miss this posting the first go around? Because if I would have seen it, I would have said "YES!". Count me in please. Love the fabric designers mentioned--so many fantastic fabric lines out right now.
Does everyone use the same fabric for the signature bar? Or is it meant to be more scrappy in appearance? I'll admit the only ones I've seen are uniform.
What a fun project to look forward to in 2010!
Count me in too!
I am a beginning quilter...how difficult would the pattern be? I would love to try!
I'd love to join in. This would be something new to me as I've never done a signature swap before... fun!!
I want to play too!!!
I live in Australia. Can we join, I would be interested.
Hello from Australia, I'd love to join please, It sounds like fun,
I would be interested in participating if I meet the requirements! ^-^
I have never done anything like this before but I would LOVE to be a part of it. Can't wait for more deatils!
I'm all for this... Sounds like loads of fun!
I'd like more info, but I'd be interested! Those are some of my favorite designers!
