Description:

This is a US only swap. You will have one partner. This swap is intended for those people who crochet who make doilies. This seems to be becoming a lost art.

You will make one doily in any pattern or color you choose using no less than one 150 yard ball of thread and no more than one 300 yard ball of thread. Please do not state color or pattern preferences. If you do not want colored thread, however, please state so. Otherwise you can use whatever color or colors you'd like. Please write a small note to include letting your partner know who sent them the delicate doily.

Because we are all pressed for time, you will have one month to complete and send the doily.

You must have a rating of 4.7 or higher and no "no sends" allowed. If you are a newbie, please email me.

If you want to add anything extra, that would be appreciated by your partner but it is not required. An example of an "extra" you might want to include would be a copy of the pattern.

Thank goodness there's a month here. I'm so behind in emails and everything else. Atleast this is something I can take and work on while I wait for my kids to get out of school. lol

I received a beautiful multi color doily from Mutantpenguin. I also received a bunch of goodies with it. I got spoiled in this swap. Thank You So Very Much!!! I still have to go search my patterns for the one I want to make. I better get moving. lol I've been crocheting since I was probably 8 so it won't take long lol. My kids have been learning. They want to know how mommy can go so fast lol. Well I will be busy this weekend, my sister and niece are coming to visit. I have to put together a baby doll quilt for her bed and make a quilt block for another swap. I already have everything cut for the baby doll quilt all I have to do is sew and iron, sew and iron lol. It's Hello Kitty and I can't wait to see the finished product since I'm still new at quilting lol. Have a wonderful weekend HeatherS

I have no aptitude for sewing... I tried, believe me! But I can knit and crochet. And because I know lots of people do both, I went ahead and started the dishcloth/washcloth swap for either knit or crochet. And had one request for an international so maybe in June if this one and that one go well. I am sure your doily will be gorgeous! Don't forget to take a picture before you send it!

I am going out to my craft house tonight and find my patterns. Found my materials just have to find a pattern lol. Wish me luck! I just hope my partner has their favorite colors written down on their profile.

Mary O. - I received your gorgeous doily today. I love it! The ecru color will fit in perfectly in my dining roon or living room, I'm not sure yet where I will use it. You do beautiful work! Thank you!! That's neat that you grew up in this area...I don't recognize the name but I graduated in 1967 so I'm quite a bit older than you. What year did your dad graduate?

I'm glad you like it! You can count me in for June! :)

Hi, sorry I didn't get mine out today. MIL called when I was driving youngest to school. I had to go over there and work on her vacuum while dad was gone getting his blood drawn. And headed home to clean my own house and forgot.
I'll try again tomorrow. Thank goodness the end date isn't here yet lol.

Well I thought I'd get it out but I just don't have the time right now. It's a long story and ya'll don't want to hear my wo's so let me just say I will get it out asap. Before the deadline. I guess that's why we have deadlines. ugh Sorry

Craftlover10101 05/22/2007 #

Oh btw I got it out yesterday and informed my partner.

I just read he bottom of the thing where you had already told me Lynn about the pattern. Um I forgot all about it with everything that's going on. So if anyone here want's cro patterns just let me know and I will send you something VERY SPECIAL to PLAY WITH but you MUST KEEP IT A SECRET OR I"LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN

Anyone interested in doing this again? Email me or leave a note via the contact here at swap-bot.

June is the last month of school for the girls so usually it's busy. We also have a couple of bday partys. I have a couple of dr. visits as far as they tell me. When? Ha I have no clue. I would love to do another but I won't sign up till I actually come back home from the hospital and maybe a week after that. So I'm thinking the end of July or Aug.

The thing that's going to suck the most is, while I'm not sending I'm not receiving either. lol But look out when I get back lol. The kids and I have a ton of things planned while I'm laid up so it's not like i won't be doing something besides sleeping lol.
Take Care Hugs
