We have lots more cat pattern ideas in the links section of the Pretty Kitty Discussion Group. Click here to view the list. (You'll need to be signed in to the group in order to access the list.) |
Size: 6" finished (6.5" unfinished) Please measure carefully! Blocks that are not the correct size will be returned to the owner, unswapped.
Quantity: Make 6 identical blocks for each set of blocks. If you are making more than one set of blocks, please use different fabrics and pattern for each set. Send in 5 blocks and keep one for yourself per set. You'll get 5 blocks back for each set to add to the one that you keep for yourself, for a total of 6 blocks per set.
Colors: Your choice.....think PRETTY!
Fabrics: Fabrics must be good quality 100% cotton. Please prewash your fabric before using. All blocks in each individual set must use the same fabrics.
Paper-piecing: If you paper-piece your cats, leave the paper on for stability during handling. You can place your label on the paper.
To sign-up for the FALL 2007 Swap:
Send an email message to Betty Edwards by clicking here to let her know that you will be participating in the swap and how many sets (a set = make 6, keep 1, send in 5, get 5 different ones back) you wish to sign up for. Deadline to register for Fall Swap is September 1, 2007. Please join our email discussion group at Yahoo Groups. This is the place to ask questions and get answers about our Kitty Swaps!
Mailing: 
Label each block with your name,
email address and source of the pattern. (If your
pattern came from a website, list the site's web address
and the name of the designer. If your pattern
came from a book or commercial pattern, list the title
and the designer's name. If you designed the pattern
yourself, let us know! We'd love to ooh and aah
over your creativity!) You
can use a label (attached to wrong side of the fabric
only!) or you can baste your label to the edge of each
block. Do not use straight pins.
If you'd
like to see an example of a swap label, click
here.Place your
blocks in a large ziplock-type bag and label the bag with your name, mailing
address, and email address. Be sure to include your mailing address! Make
sure that you place EACH set (5 blocks) in a separate ziplock-type
bag labeled with your name, mailing address, and email
address. This makes it much easier when I'm swapping
the blocks!Enclose a self addressed stamped
envelope. Postage on the return envelope should equal the amount of postage
on the envelope that you are sending. Place your name and address in the return
address area. International swappers are welcome to join in! Just
send fabric in lieu of postage along with your self-addressed
envelope.
