Description:

This swap is to make a mini quilt with 25 little pockets,(to fill with surprises for the advent season). The quilt should be no smaller than 4"x6" and no larger than would be comfortable to hang on a door. It can be whatever shape you like - square, wreath - whatever you think would be fun. You can embellish to your hearts content.

The colors and shape are "senders choice" so you can get started before partners are assigned if you like. That said, you shouldn't give a low rating if the color scheme is not to your taste. Hopefully these will be nice, mini quilts that we are swapping.

You can fill the pockets for your partner if you like, but it's not required. The picture is one I found on the internet at http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=863 . There is also a tutorial for that advent quiltie on the "sew mama sew" blog. You need to have a rating of 4.8 and at least 10 swaps to join. If you have less than a 4.8 - but there's a really good reason you got that bad rating,(you were in the hospital and couldn't send or something like that), drop me a message. Life happens.Sorry, no newbies. If someone else wants to host a newbie swap of the same - that's fine with me. I don't have time to Angel if there were a lot of flakes. This is an international swap. The send date is in October, so that everyone can have their quiltie before Advent. Happy swapping!

This sounds like so much fun! I made these for all my friends last Christmas and filled them with goodies :D I can't wait to get started on this one

I like this, but I'm a bit intimidated. Will put it on the watchlist.

Ooooo - Don't be intimidated....be inspired! I hate that I made the description sound intimidating - Sorry.

BTW- I've edited the swap to be 4.8 ratings and higher. There are just too many meanies in swap-land waiting to hand out errant "3's" to well intentioned people who deserve "5's".

Awesome! My muse was prodding me to make something with Christmas trees--this is perfect!
