I was really worried about participating in craft swaps once I moved, but so far, the hosts have been very accommodating.
I signed up for a virtual quilting bee – called called SewConnected 3 - where each member sends fabric for the others to make a single block and they send it back to create a group-created quilt. I’m very excited – my month is June. The quilting bee is hosted by Quilt Dad, who lives in my home town in North Carolina. One of the other participants lives in Belgium, so she and I will be sending out and recieving our fabrics together to help reduce mail costs. The bee will start in March. I’ve added links to the other participants on my links page. You can follow our progress on Flickr:
I’ve also signed up for Project Improv, where we are all challenging ourselves to break the rules. This project is hosted by Tall Grass Studio. We’re creating blocks with improvisition – no patterns, no rules, just 1 block. Volunteers are combining the different blocks into quilts. There are over 100 participants and we will donate the finished quilts to charity. You can follow our progress on Flickr:
What crafting projects are you joining this year?

Let me see…. I will be doing Sew Connected 3 with you, Yeah. And I joined a international siggy block swap. And I started the ‘Once Upon a Time’ BOM. I think I started too many, but it will be fun.

Well, I think I’ll be limiting my craft sign ups for awhile. One because my sewing machine died and two because I’ve just started back to school on my PhD. But I’ve heard of both of these and will live vicariously through you all! ;)
