OK ladies i hope there is something here for everyone this a fat q swap that i will post a new thread for each new theme, you must sign up as each month comes along, i will post the new theme about 7-10 days before the end of the month so everyone who wants to will have a chance to join in. All material is 100% cotton and approx 18 X 22 in size. August- BUGS September- MODA MARBLES-these are not always found in the walmarts etc, maybe only found online in some areas, so keep that in mind, but they are sooooooooooooo nice  October- CHRISTMAS- NOT the traditional red and green November- red and white or white and red December- "send it on over" you pick from your stash and mail it on over

I am excited to get back into FQ swap in August!!! Count me in for August! Carmen--you are doing very well on your weight loss!! Kudos for you!!!! I was disgustingly FAT after Sarah was born in May 2004 and stayed that way until about Dec of that year. I finally made up my mind to loose that weight..started out the WRONG way but was still running when I could (definately not as dedicated as I should've been.) After I recuperated from my hysterectomy in Oct of last yr, I really put alot of effort into getting back healthy. Total dropped is almost 70 pounds and the best part is I feel good. The best advice anybody gave me was to eat breakfast. I have never ever been a breakfast eater unless it was a BK bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and hash browns but now I eat something healthy (usually oatmeal.) Occasionally I splurge and have 2 pieces of french toast but no butter on it. Eating breakfast boosts your metabolism and gives you energy for the day..not only that, I feel fuller and snack less. Being only 5'4" every pound shows (in opposition to my 15 yr old who is half a foot taller than me.) I know you are VERY VERY proud of yourself!! Julie

Carman...way to go on your weight loss! I'm proud of you and I know how happy you must be with yourself! Count me in for August. I will be out of town the last week of July and the first week of August but will have my fabric mailed out before the end of August. Let me know if you need my addy again. All the themes sound great! Can't wait for each month-always nice to have a surprise in the mailbox! Lyn

thanks for all the encouragement  i must admit "I AM PROUD"  i have never felt better, i can always tell if i have not seen someone in along time, because they are taking a second look and another, and sometimes don't know what to say, it is quite funny.yes i have your addy info too |

Hey Carman, congrats to you on your weight loss. I will admit I probably have at least 50 lbs to lose, but don't have a clue where to start.  Anyways count me out of bugs, and with not working the summer will let you know about the Modas, as they will have to be ordered online. Have a super summer everyone!!

I'm afraid I have to pass for August - but I am in for September - that gives me a head start! Now - what is Moda Marbles? (sorry, newbie swapper here  ) Do we post what colors we are each buying so we don't get doubles? or is it ok for two to buy the same?Carmen do you want to know if we are in for all those months - or will we get another chance coming around? Thanks for including me! Robin p.s. Please do share your weight management plan and Way To Go! You Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm, and place their trust in you.

WOW Carmen you lost a whole you. You need a BRAVO!!!!! A standing ovation. I'd love to join but I think I will wait until Sept. When do you have to know if we're in for Aug. I might be able to pull it off. All I have to do is get fat quarters and mail them to you right? If so maybe I can do that. When do they have to be mailed? I could really use the fabric to add to my QUILT Stash. Not that I have enough fabric in this house already. ROFL Let me know in time to play now. I'm regressing back into my youth, I just have to figure out how I'm going to convience my body to come along with me.

And is there a date by which people need to receive their fq's? Is it just 1 to each person - I think that's what I read. Ok - well, looking forward to the info and the swap. Brandy~ |

Brandy~ Yes, bugs for August...be sure Carman has your mailing information. She'll send everyone who signs up a list of who is participating with their addresses, then you mail a FQ to each person on the list (don't forget to keep a FQ for yourself-I usually forget that part). Needs to be mailed by the end of the month the swap is for-in this case August. Lyn

the Moda Marbles will include the whole line per say, as long as it says Moda Marble on it and not the flowery ones in the line, i hope that makes some sense

Do I prewash the fabric before cutting the fat quarters? I plan to get my fabric early - and buy extra for myself for a quilt - I have coupons and gift certificates for fabric so I'm gonna use them before they expire. I just love the Moda Marbles too. I can hardly wait till September! You Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm, and place their trust in you. Isaiah 26:3, AV

I would love to participate in the November and December swaps. Living in rural areas you are so correct to warn us when certain fabrics may be hard to find. I loved the one swap I was able to get in on and would like to participate in these two months, do I need to wait to sign up or will you send out the info on swap participants just prior to the month? Thanks for taking charge of this swap, I am sure it is a lot of work, you are sooooo appreciated. Bye for now. Connie |
