Surprise Swap III ~closed~ Due October 19

[hopemax]

Yep, Cricut layers count as paper piecings. You may get a break on the cutting, but you still have to do everything else, including going cross-eyed from gluing tiny pieces. Some of those are pretty detailed.

Hope I owe you 4 items. I don't think we are in any groups together. Is there anything you'd specifically like or I could send you a photo of the items I do for my 8 groups and you can pick what you'd like.

marlynnp, In the regular groups, we are in 13,14, 15 together. So you are only down one, so if you want to make me what you are making for 16, that would be perfect.

I'm making brand new items for everyone in the specialty groups. And I'll join the new Paper Piecing group too.

The second time around, is not so bad to make everything. I keep everything, so any computer files were saved, I had slips of paper with the dimensions for everything. There really isn't a way to speed up paper piecings. But like for the Tiki Room, the first time, I angeled the swap so I had like 10 days to do it and needed to make 15. So making 5 this time around was easy!

Susan, yes the Cricut cuts count for paper piecing. Thats what I am going to use although I do have 1 pattern I tried and I think I can make this without it looking like it got ran over by a mac truck. If all else falls I have my back up. eBay!

Hope, way to go girl! I was sitting here showing DH the picture, and I was like OH that one is mine! He said how do you know? I said, cause I am the only one who asked for it..lol..

 

[mommy2mrb]

Okay one more swap for me......can I have group b paper piecing PLEASE!!!

Thanks,
Lisa

 

[hopemax]

Oh, I was going to say on the paper piecings. Since so many of you have the Mickey&Friends cart, maybe you could post which item you are making so not everyone makes Mickey's House (that's a request )? Although, that does go against the "surprise" part, so I don't know.

 

[mommy2mrb]

If I get that group, I okay with picking a character, we just won't say what we are making.

BTW Hopemax, looked at your stuff last night WOW, you do terrific work!!!


Lisa

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'm going to make a bigger Donald's boat for mine. I call dibs.

 

[123SA]

I had a really good night! I finished groups 7,8,10,Halloween and Christmas. I just have one little bit left for groups 2 & 16. I also cut out 200+ tags and license plates for my kids to use for autographs in Disney. If I have a good night tonight, I may try to sneak in one more paper piecing group!

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

I want to make Mickey's house for mine!

ETA: Hope, I've confused myself! I know I asked for the Alice stuff, the AKV borders, and the AK dedication stuff. We are in 5 groups together for this (1, 7, 8, G, and paper piecing B). How does that work out? Do you have any requests for something I can make for you?

 

[hopemax]

For the specialty groups, I'm making all new stuff, so I'm not considering them as part of the exchanges, just the numbered groups.

So you have 5 element requests, I am getting 3 by being in your groups. Which leaves 2. So how about the cheetah stuff you are making, for the newbie swap? (You can mail those with either swap, whichever is easier for you to keep track)

Ok, cool! I can do that! I'll let you know which swap they're in with! Thanks, Hope!

I'd LOVE a spot in the new Christmas group. I thought and thought and thought about it and decided to go for it.

And I'm DONE!

 

[KatDisney]

11 Spots open, anyone else?

 

[mommy2mrb]

I will be making something for Daisy in paper piecing.

Lisa

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I'll take the last spot in Christmas.

 

[123SA]

Put me down for group 18 please!

 

[SusieStone]

I'll fill up Group 18 for you

 

[hopemax]

I notice Kat, put you ladies in 18, but I think you will be moving to 19. After the early signup frenzy, we were keeping stealth spots for me to slip into, so I could be in groups with people I had trades with. I think Kat forgot I had a stealth spot in 18 already . Plus there is one person that hasn't logged in this weekend, who I think wanted to participate, because I made stuff in the prep thread, and we're trying to hold a spot or 2 for her.

So at the end we might up with 2 groups of 5 or something.

 

[KatDisney]

I just woke up again. Sorry Hope I had forgotten, I thought something looked odd. Teach me to do this when I'm not awake. This is what I am gonna do.. we have 4 spots in 2 groups open. I want to give the one person who is MIA for the weekend a chance to fill those last spots.

So I have 2 Tables reserved in each of those groups.

 

[KatDisney]

Susie and 123SA do you want a spot in Group 19 to close it out? If for any reason the reserved spots come available I will get those spots filled.

 

[KatDisney]

Group 15 : Katdisney, SusieStone, Hopemax, AlexWyattMommy, marlynnp, djackow

Would you all mine if we made this group 7 people so I can move Bobcat up here and close out Group 20?
