Summary: 1 partner to receive 1 SEWvenir quilt block

Do you like souvenirs? I do. Well, how about collecting SEWvenirs from other places without the expense of going there? Wouldn’t it be fun to have a quilt made from SEWvenir blocks sent to you from different states, maybe even different countries, and be able to instantly identify each place and person those blocks came from? That is our goal with this series of swaps.

You will send 1 partner one 12 ½” (finished size) quilt block in any quilt pattern you choose. Senders be creative, appliqué your state bird, or use embroidery thread to create your state flower, add yoyo’s, buttons, trim, whatever accents you want. Remember whatever embellishments you put on the block must be washable. Do not send a plain piece of fabric you’ve written on, there must be SEWING involved for a SEWvenir. Send what you would want to receive. (100% cotton fabric only)

Somewhere visible on the top of the block (not in seam allowance) you must add the following 4 pieces of information (suggestion: embroider or use permanent fabric marker)

Your swap-bot name (or real name too if you want)

Your state or country (add city if you want or region)

Date you finished the block (at least the month and year)

And something interesting about you, or your state, or the block, or maybe even a famous quote or your favorite Bible verse. This doesn’t have to be long, maybe just the name of the block or your state bird, or flower.

Newbies welcome with filled out profile, 5 snail-mail swaps to their credit, and at least a 4.8 rating.

Questions welcome, now get creative!

boy do I understand staying on top of things...I'm gonna have to devote at least 3 evenings this week to hand sewing if I intend to meet deadlines........but I enjoy it and sometimes I work better under pressure....my creative juices really get to churning under pressure
