Behind the scenes Mama's have been busy ~ streamlining, compiling, planning, listing, double checking and setting things up for the swappers of Doll Quilt number 9. A new blog button has been chosen by popular demand and the mosaic group is filling up with all sorts of ideas. I've made my mosaic and hope that my partner to be will be looking at it to find what I'm loving as of right now. Pastels, sweetness, birds, houses, and embroidery. And I'm looking forward to scoping out the likes of whoever I'll be sending to also.
First the other Mama's and I will be given our Bebe lists and we'll worry and work hard to pair everyone up with suitable partners. It takes hours of checking everyone's blogs and flickr streams hoping that the pairings will go smoothly and that everyone will have a fun time. I love doing that part! We also have some surprises in store ala "giveaways" ~ those details are being decided soon.
It should be fun for all.
Hey swap mamas, thank you so much for all the hard work. As the mama of two bees, I know what work went into those and you have hundreds of bebes to work with. I had an idea for the blog - maybe guests bloggers could pick, say, five favourite quilts from past DQSs so, on top of our constant Flickr DQS browsing, we get a regular fix of of lovliness on here. Not if it makes more work for you though because I know you're snowed under right now!
ReplyDeleteCan I just repeat Lynnes thank you's - thanks for all the hard work
ReplyDeleteRe guest bloggers etc - did you know that you can link each of the DGS9 participants to this (same thing that was done on the Black and White challenge project last year) and then each of the participants can add their progress etc as they go along which would releive some of the pressure on the Mama's during the swap
I feel so honored as a newbie to be accepted into the group! Thank you so much!!! This group is so amazing..mamas and bebes too!! I am really excited and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the hard work you all put into such a fantastic swap!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all the hard work and effort put into this. so glad i am getting to participate
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying the gorgeous mosaics everyone is putting together! I think Flossieblossoms must deserve some kind of prize, her color wheel ticker tape quilt appears in SO many mosaics!!
ReplyDeleteman, how did i miss out on another round again!!? if you know when the next round of signups will begin can you let me know so i can put it on my calendar? :)
ReplyDeleteOnly just found your site, not a member of Flickr (yet) so I can't join but as Amy wrote before me, I would love to join in on the next round if that's possible?
ReplyDeleteThis just looks like so much fun!
Me too, Me too! I guess it's too late to sign up for this round, but I would LOVE to be included in the next round! Any idea when that might be? I'm sure you are so up to your necks with getting ready for this round to even be thinking about next round, so I'll just keep stalking the blog :-) Looks like a blast. What good folks you are.
