| Post subject: | Easter Stitched Egg Swap? |
I know a bunch of members did the mitten swap last year, well there's a whole bunch of egg designs too nd I wondered if anone would like to take part in a similar swap with those. Basic egg shape Egg Designs Easter falls on 4th April this year. THE "RULES" - You can use any of the designs on the link, or you can design one yourself using the outline template. - You can use any count of fabric / perforated paper / whatever you like. Your only limit (size-wise) is the outline design of the egg. - You can finish it howeve you like - ATC, bookmark, bag, ornament, coaster - the only limit is your imagination! - You can stitch it at any time, but you must be finished (and indicated on this thread that you have finished) stitching by Friday 26th March in order to send it out for 4th April. - On Friday 26th March, everyone who has indicated they have finished stitching will be allocated another person who has also finished, giving them a full week or so to get the address of that person and post it so that it should stand a very good chance of arriving with the recipient by 4th April. - Anyone who has not indicated that they have finished stitching by 26th March will be assumed to have pulled out and not be allocated anyone, I'm afraid, as I want to make sure that all who send will also receive. SWAPPERS Kell (UK) - Anywhere - DONE KerryT (UK) - Anywhere - DONE kazzi29 (UK) - Anywhere - DONE Charmed (UK) - Anywhere - DONE K1ns (UK) - Anywhere - DONE grub72 (Australia) - Anywhere - DONE flumpz - Anywhere - DONE Murmured (NZ) - Anywhere - DONE Rose (USA) - Anywhere - DONE Serinde (UK) - Anywhere - DONE Maggs (UK) - Anywhere - DONE XandraS (UAE) - Anywhere - DONE Mauveme (Canada) - Anywhere - DONE Minij (UK) - Anywhere - DONE Meerkat (UK) - Anywhere - DONE Nachstenliebe - Anywhere - DONE Mags (UK) - Anywhere - DONE benceagi (Hungary) - Anywhere - DONE Tinkerbella (UK) - Anywhere - DONE MaeMae0410 (US) -Anywhere - DONE kathryn (Canada) - Anywhere - DONE maeflowers (US) - Anywhere - DONE meganadmog (UK) - Anywhere - DONE Sarah Gixxer (UK) - Anywhere Emilou (UK) - Anywhere Coffee_Freak (USA) - USA Angel (UK) __________________________________________________ Here is the list of participants with who everyone is sending to. Each person will send to the next person on the list (which was drawn by my lovely hubby - I actually forgot to put my own name in, so I've put myself at the bottom of the list - I'm such a ditz!). You are responsible for getting the address for your recipient so drop them a PM asking for contact details. Hopefully the majority of the eggs will arrive with their recipients in time for Easter on 4th April, so please do respond to your address request promptly and post your egg as soonas possible. I know not all the eggs will arrive by that time, but I hope most of them will. Please post to let everyone know when you have sent and received your eggs. The list is as follows: 1. kazzi29 SENT received 2. MaeMae0410 sent received 3. meganadmog sent recevied 4. flumpz sent Received 5. Minij sent Received 6. benceagi sent received 7. K1ns sent and received 8. grub72 sent and received 9. Rose sent Recieved 10. Serinde sent Received 11. KerryT sent Received 12. Xandra sent Received 13. Mags sent 14. kathryn sent Recieved 15. Charmed sent Recieved 16. maeflowers sent Received 17. Tinkerbella sent 18. Mauveme sent 19. Maggs sent Recieved 20. Nachstenliebe sent Received 21. Meerkat sent received 22.

You can see the mitten swap thread here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5564&hilit=mitten+swap" target="_blank The mittens were finished in a variety of ways, so I guess the egg finishing would be up to the individual too. As for size, you could use any count of fabric - the size is only limited by the stitch count. You would either choose one of the designs from the site or use the outline and design your own egg within those confines. |

So that's 2 definite "yes"es (me and Megandmog). What say if we get at least half a dozen, we start stitching? Are any of the other posters definite "yes"es? |

Well, that's 6 definites, so I guess we can start stitching. Shall we say, have them finished for the end of March so we can send them in time for Easter on 4th April? |

okay i read the link for the mitten swap but it kept talking about atc did i not go far enough. How does this work exactly. I mean ive done tons of swaps before. Do you just stitch an egg and make it into say an ornament, mug rug, coaster, hotplate????? etcc. |
