A New Swap

Hello all, Sharon here. I am a bit late in announcing a new swap today. I have decided that we will be swapping something very useful and something that can be very creative- kitchen towels and hot pads. I was going to put up my own tutorial for this, but after doing some research on the internet I found many so good tutorials that I will instead give you links to great ideas. For those who like to embroider here is Alicia Paulson of Posy gets Cozy great Polish Folk towels:http://aliciapaulson.com/Pleasant_Kitchen_Dishtowels.pdf. Her great site is: http://rosylittlethings.typepad.com/posie_gets_cozy/. Here is a sweet and very different kitchen towel: http://calamitykim.typepad.com/photos/whip_up_a_darlin_dress_to/index.html . For a fun quilted project I have several links: http://lindamade.wordpress.com/2007/08/28/hot-stuff-patchwork-oven-mitts/ , http://supamb.com/supafine/2007/10/24/how-to-sew-a-patchwork-kitchen-towel/ , http://writemamawrite.typepad.com/blog/2008/09/patchwork-kitchen-towel-tutorial.html , and http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=550. I also found a felted hot pad at : http://www.purlbee.com/stars-stripes-felted-hot-pads/ . For those who want to practice their crochet I found this link which will take you to many many links!http://home.inreach.com/marthac/holder.html
To sign up for the swap please leave me (as a comment) :
1. your name
2. your e-mail (written out to stop those nasty spammers),
3. your country
4. whether you want to swap within your country, or internationally. Remember that if you swap internationally it many cost you a wee bit more in postage, but it is also so much fun!
The deadline for sign up is Thursday, Feb. 19
Rose will be helping me with the organization and the tracking of the swappers, and I have had many ladies who have signed up as my angels-those who will help me make sure that everyone gets a parcel. A great big thank-you and hug to everyone who is helping!
I also wanted to link you to a set of videos on You Tube. They are of Clara, a woman who lived through the Great Depression. She is seen in these videos talking about cooking and giving recipes that her family lived on during those hard years. I found these to be incredibly interesting. Clara is in her 90's now and all I can say is wow! I hope you all enjoy these as much as I did.

  44. Hello all-so happy that everyone is excited about the swap. The swap is for both a kitchen towel and a hot pad-but you can make more than one of each since they are a quick and easy project that is so much fun to add personalized touches to. I plan to add a couple of knitted dish cloths to mine. I am especially pleased that we have quite a few new swappers signing on. Leave any other questions you have in the comments or e-mail me at : cdetroyes at yahoo dot com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

    What's the time-frame on the swap - how long do we get to complete the work and post them off?

    Many thanks,
    Jo

  95. This is exactly what I need just now. I have been looking at my hotpads and deciding I need to make some. However I haven't made any since I was a child enjoying patchwork so it will be great to challenge myself again with something.

    This will be my first Down to Earth Swap and I am very enthused.

  96. Hotpads! Potholders! I am presuming both are the same thing. I had forgotten what I call them typing my last comment and just found this new idea of how to make them possibly.

    Yes it's potholders I am in need of!

  99. Hello ladies-wow so many of you and so many newbies, as well as old dear friends (hi Ann and Mandy). This is just wonderful. Hot pads and pot holders are the same thing:) Tea towels would be quite welcome Lichtlein, and Cee your link was great! Rose is helping me get the list done (how wonderful is that!) I am thinking about asking everyone to include one of their favorite recipes in their parcels-we would get a feast for the eyes and the tummies too.

  110. Hi,

    I would love to be part of the swap but I want to be fair to my swap "buddy". I am a total novice crafter and i really need a partner who will appreciate the that the effort and spirit will most likely be greater than the beauty of the products. If you have someone like that, then fantastic, please count me in :)
