I love my bird in that label!! Ruth was great to think of that. My bird is such a goofball.. she even calls my dogs and those stupid... or smart dogs come,sit under her perch and beg from her. That bird drops down her peanuts to the dogs!! The dogs have learned to beg from the bird and she gives them treats!!

I think this rounds labels have been so much fun! They really do add a lot to the quilt, even though they're on the back.

Mary, that's a riot! Smart bird, next she'll have the dogs opening up her cage so she can fly around the house! lol

I love coming up with just the right label for the right quilt. The title of the quilt is always important to me and I think it reveals a lot about what the quilter sees in their piece. And it's so important to "sign" your work!!

Swap Guidelines

The swap guidelines are as follows:

SIZE: from 9"x9" to 18"x18" .. any size or shape in between

MATERIALS: quality fabric, natural fibers/cotton, wool, linen.

CONSTRUCTION: Pieced, appliquéd (needle turned only); must be quilted by hand or machine, not tied; and bound.

DESIGN: No art quilts this time, we're focusing on making miniature quilts like you would find on a full sized bed. If in doubt, ask your mama for advice.

LABEL:Please create a label of some sort for the back of your quilt with your name, date, DQS11, where you live, and who its to.

This is a secret swap. Your partner will not know your identity until they received your quilt. If you need to get in contact with your partner ONLY do so through your swap Mama.

Group participation is mandatory. Please post photos of your WIP, and your completed quilt. Once you have received your quilt, post a pic of it, and be sure to email a thank you to your partner as soon as possible. Contact your mama to let her know when you send and when you receive. Comment on photos you like and join in discussions. This is a social group.

DUE DATE: The deadline for all quilts to be mailed is August 9th, 2011 (international), and August 23rd for those sending domestically .

Delivery confirmation is required, within the U.S or within your own country.

Also, DO NOT SEND TOO EARLY. Don't send your package BEFORE July 26th. If there is some reason you must, please contact your Mama first and discuss it with her.

If for any reason you cannot meet the deadline please let your Swap Mama know ASAP. If you communicate any setbacks with us, we can make sure things work out favorably for your partner, with no hard feelings.

One last thing, There will be no NEGATIVITY tolerated. If you are unhappy with your partner, for any reason, that needs to be a private matter between you and your Mama. She will take care of any issues that need to be addressed. Negative or whiny posts in discussions will be deleted immediately and its a good way to get yourself banned from the group. We are here to have FUN!!
