Swap Talk

I am happy to report that my online swap talk with my guild went really well last night. They were only 2 people in my guild that had ever done a swap. They were amazed at all the incredible items I have received. Of course, I did not get to show them any of my work since it has all been sent away. They asked really good questions and I was able to answer them, which makes things easier. Thank you for all of your comments and suggestions. They were very helpful in organizing my talk. We did the night as a round robin with 5 tables for them to go to, so I got to do the talk 5 times. It was neat that each talk was a bit different depending on the group.

Here are the blocks I made for guild exchange :

Brights

Country

Now I need to figure out what I want to use as my background fabric for my jelly roll quilt along. Hope you are all getting time to quilt!

Building Blocks

 

 

Here are a couple of blocks I made last week for my quilt guild. We will be swapping 4 blocks and then making something for them for June. I am in the brights and country group.



I realized on the weekend that it has been months since I have made something for myself. The weather here has been quite cold lately and I only have 2 quilts. I have been carrying them around the house like Linus. I decided to start something new for myself but it will actually be a wall-hanging. Here is a little peek.

These are my blocks for the potholder swap. I now need to quilt them.

 

  

For March's meeting of my guild, I have agreed to talk about online swaps. There are other guild members speaking, so I only have (thank goodness) 10 minutes to talk about it. I am hoping to get a few of my quilt tops together to be able to show them. If you have anything you wish you knew/want to share about online swaps I would love to hear from you.
