PP8 Sign Ups (swapping potholders, bags or tea towels

view profile

During Quiet Time (Amy) is a group administrator During Quiet Time (Amy)  Pro User  says:

Potholder Pass 8 ups are beginning!

Read this carefully. You have a lot of choices this round.
In short, you may sign up to swap either potholders, grocery bags or tea towels. You may sign up for more than one swap and will receive different partners for each swap.

POTHOLDERS:
1. Potholders must have a summer/bbq theme (up to your interpretation.)
2. Potholders should be a minimum of 6", preferably 7-8".
3. Please use insulated batting in the potholder-at least one layer, preferably two OR one layer with one layer of cotton batting.
4. Send a set of 2 potholders. They can be identical or coordinating.

REUSABLE GROCERY BAG
1. You must use quality materials that will hold up well over time.
2. You must use one of the following patterns:
Keyka Lou's Grocery Bag www.keykaloupatterns.com/product/easy-reusable-grocery-bag
Sewtakeahike's Wrap It Up Bag www.etsy.com/shop/sewtakeahike
The Jane Market Bag rosylittlethings.com/janemarketbagpattern.html
or the free tutorial: craftyady.blogspot.com/2010/09/fold-away-shopping-bag-tut...
If you use the tutorial, you must line the bag.

TEA TOWELS (DISH TOWELS)
1. Tea Towels must be made of prewashed linen (can be embellished with quilting cotton.) If you are concerned about the cost of linen, Amy Dunn has offered to make some available in her shop www.pinkedfabrics.etsy.com at a very reasonable price.)
2. Send a set of two coordinating or identical towels.
Look at these tutorials for napkins and towels for inspiration:

RULES FOR ALL SWAPPERS:

You must adhere to the deadline for the swap.

You must join the Flickr group and respond to group posts, etc. because good communication makes the swap work so much better.

Post pictures of the items you are sending.

Indicate when you have sent and received in the sent/received thread.

Please mind your manners and promptly thank your partner when you receive your potholders.

WHO CAN JOIN
Anyone with an active Flickr stream full of crafty items who is willing to follow the rules above may join.
If you were late shipping for Potholder Pass 7 (for unexcused reasons) you may not join this round.

SIGN UP PERIOD
You may sign up beginning now till May 29, 2011.

SWAP DATES
June 1-July 10th

HOW TO JOIN:
Express your interest here, on the sign up thread, and join this Flickr group.

Send me a Flickr message with:
Flickr name
Real name and address
Potholders, bag or tea towels
Anything you want your partner to know regarding colors and style preferences

You may make a mosaic but it is not required. I would like you to have lots of favorites for your partner to check out though. I will not separate international and domestic shipping so please join only if you are willing to send internationally.

If you go to the little picture of the envelope in the top right of your screen, it will bring you into your Flickr mail. You can send me a private message that way so you aren't broadcasting your real name and address to everyone on Flickr ;) If you have trouble, let me know and I will try to clarify.

I am putting PP8 on hold briefly until a few more PP7 packages are received. There was one that I was told was en route that has not been sent and another that was returned to sender and needs to be resent. I'd like to see some of these delivered. We might just be delayed by a week (it isn't cancelled!)

I am delaying this round due to a number of outstanding packages from last round. I am about to call it though and ask for angels for the two packages not yet sent. I am not as worried about the international packages that remain since they usually take a long time. I haven't had to delay a round before but would like to resolve these issues first. I don't want to wait longer than 6/15 though. Then I will extend the deadline till the end of July for sending.
