January 2019 Quilt for Hitty Swap
January is cold! My Hittys love to snuggle under their favourite quilts at this time of year,
and there is nothing more delightful than a brand new favourite quilt!

Will you join some Hitty friends in making a cosy quilt for a swap?
The way this swap will work is: everyone who wants to participate makes a Hitty quilt;
The swap hostess collects the names of the people who are ready to swap;
a random number generator mixes up and pairs the names;
and you exchange Hitty quilts with your swap partner.

Expectations for this quilt swap:
You will use 1 1/2 inch squares of fabric and piece them together.
You will make a quilt for Hitty that is at least 5 inches across X 6 inches down.
You will use a backing fabric but no padding, unless you use something very light, like cheesecloth.
All correspondence about the swap should be addressed to hg.swaphostess so I don't miss any messages.
You will receive your swap partner's name by Friday February 1st.
You will mail your quilt to your Swap partner by Monday February 4th.
When
you receive your quilt, you will post a picture of it in the Swaps and
Challenges folder, acknowledging the name of the person who made the
quilt...
We want people to have fun with their swap, so here are a few Swap Etiquette Reminders:
We always ask everyone participating in a swap do their very best.
Please do not enter a swap if you have not produced something that you would be very happy to receive.
Please assume that a swap item you have received is the very best your partner could produce.
If
you are in a swap or a challenge, it is polite to comment on other
every other swap or challenge offering, not just yours and your swap
partner's.
Please remember to thank your swap partner.
Please photograph your swap item before you send it in case your partner is unable to post a photo.
