Description:

Holidays over, lets relax and make a bunch of dotees! We will make 12 flower dotees, one for each month! Keeping it simple we will use 12 different flower pattern fabrics to make 12 dotees. By all means, you can make it simple or as elaborate as you want. Just remember 12 different flower pattern fabrics to make 12 different flower dotees.

I have given 3 months for this swap, thinking that would give everyone time to make one dotee a week.

This is a time consuming swap. Absolutely no-no sends. Must have at least 15 completed swaps and a full profile. If swaps are due for any reason, they must be completed before signing up. I will go through all profiles to make sure there are no flakers.

Have fun and imagine a dozen dotees waiting for you in your mailbox! :)

Special request and guarantee
If by chance someone turns flaker in this swap, I am requesting that participants angel one dotee. This way we all have a guaranteed angel!

WARNING
To potential flakers. If anyone flakes in my swap I will call you out in every public forum! I will let every swapbot member know that you are a FLAKER!

Just to clarify, we are making 12 flower dotees for one partner?

kupkake 11/17/2008 #

Yes, there is also a group here at swapbot called "12 Months of Dotees" Check it out! :)

I'm putting this on my watchlist while hunting for fabric.

RobinT 11/18/2008 #

I will put this on my watch list. I would so love to do this, but in the last 12 Months of Dotees swap I got flaked upon by my partner. I didn't ask for an angel because I'm still holding out hope that she will send because the swap is still listed on her profile and not marked as sent.

I just don't want to get into this swap and put a lot of effort into making 12 dotees and get nothing in return. I feel selfish for saying that, but it's true.

kupkake 11/18/2008 #

Robin, Im so sorry that happened to you. The only way there is going to be a flaker in this swap...is if that person decides to turn flaker for the FIRST time in my swap! I am going to edit this swap so there is some sort of guarantee....

This sounds fun! And thanks for the invite to the group, I just joined!

makestuff 11/25/2008 #

I put this on my watchlist, since they limited how many swaps we can join.

Really, Flakers are just takers not givers and they are all over Swap=bot. It is up to the coordinator to watch for this and get it angelled if it turns out bad. There is no guarantee you won't be flaked on no matter what anyone says. But most swappers are great and also many willing to make things good.

kupkake 11/27/2008 #

@ladydy5 First I would like to say I have never had a flaker in one of my swaps and have turned down a few swappers who have signed up for my swaps in the past. You are right, there are no guarantees when it comes to swapping, but it is nice knowing there are angels available for such a huge swap Im hosting if someone should get flaked.

MirandAck 11/30/2008 #

This is on my watchlist.If I can get half done by the signup, I will join. The holidays are just making me feel overextended, but should calm down in Jan.

Haloquin 12/15/2008 #

Um... just wondering if it would be alright to print/paint your own flower patterns? I'm thinking I don't normally use flower patterned material so I don't have any, and wouldn't really want to buy huge amounts for one small project, but I'd be happy to make some to use :) and it'd be fun trying to come up with 12 different designs!

I'm probably not going to have enough swaps by the signup date, but thought I'd ask anyway.

kupkake 12/21/2008 #

Ask away :).......Sure! As long as you stay with the flower theme.

No worries, I LOVE dotees and will host more swaps after the holidays!

Happy Holidays Everyone! :)

jensquil 12/25/2008 #

This sounds soooo fun!, but I won't have enough completed swaps by the sign up date = (. I hope you do it again when I have enough swaps.

kupkake 12/27/2008 #

No worries @jensquil I will definitely host more! :)

LaurenRhodes 01/ 6/2009 #

Can they be retro flowers like hippie dotee's? I can't wait to get started I'm off to the shops this morning I love looking for material.

kupkake 01/ 6/2009 #

LoL! Sure, just as long as their flowers! :)

WarLordsWife 01/ 6/2009 #

I am in and working on my dotees. I just need to clear up a space on my board to join! Thank you for doing this! Mary

LaurenRhodes 01/ 8/2009 #

I got my fabric today it's really cute. As soon as I get off the net I'm starting to cut the fabric.

LibbyM 01/22/2009 #

Thank you for inviting me to this swap but I am new and haven't the swaps having done 3 so far - do you send them all at once? I would be interested as it would be certainly a good way to improve Dotee making I am going to make one tonight on the train! Hilary

kupkake 01/24/2009 #

Hi @LibbyM this swap is now closed. Check out the "12 Months of Dotees" forum. There are newbie swaps and tags going on there. :) Yes this swap was for 12 dotees all delivered at once! :)

Happy Swapping! :)

Rebok7 04/18/2009 #

Hi kupkake, I'm Rebok7 and I would like to know the requirement in joining your group. How often are swaps? time length? etc. I just want to make sure I can fulfill the requirements. Thanks Rebok7
