we're kinda behind on this one cuz we had no idea they'd had another baby girl!!
bluehorse and i are heading this one up and toni is our master quilter cuz she does such beautiful work!!
details to follow.

*waits*

Woo Hoo

this one will be a typical smack family quilt w/a lot of fun details. i want board names on this one. doing a scrapbook page for each square you do is mandatory. jess's quilt scrapbook went over so well, we're going to make it a permanent fixture w/quilts.

this one is for a baby girl but we don't want it too babyish so she can grow into it. inspirational quotes are always great. be cautious w/choking hazards on your squares. take a look at the thread for nianni's quilt to get a good idea of a smack family baby quilt.
i'd like for teach to do our little smacker bear on a square. i think that'll be a permanent fixture on our baby quilts!

time to get started on this one. post now if you want in. the cost will be $10.00 per square mailed to toni w/your completed square. scrapbook pages are required for each square. if you choose to have someone else print it for you (either me or lisa), there will be a small charge to cover ink and paper - this excludes tam as she lives too far away and the cost would prohibit her from participating. (we got you covered baby girl!)
squares will be mailed to toni.
scrapbook pages will be mailed to me and must be printed on glossy photo paper.
git 'er dun.

toni - be ready to mail squares as soon as we get names and addresses together. let us know if you need $$ in advance as i know these projects aren't cheap.

people - this quilt is for a baby girl and is intended to show her our love and appreciation for her. know your square is not about you so please don't send us a self portrait of yourself on your square as it will be immediately discarded after we laugh our asses off at your balls to even do such a thing in the first place. your square is to pass on wisdom, fun and love to our new smack niece. period.

Are we still wanting to do Robbie's bass in the middle? 'Cause if we do, everyone only needs to do 1 square. And, also, if we do the bigger squares like with Jess', only 1 square will be needed.

I'm in.

Sign me up!!

I'm in....

And I wanna do a me square as well as the smack-bear...

As for the bass... This is for HER!!! We can make a new one with the insturment SHE chooses when she gets to that age!!!!

You ladies know to count me in!

I'm in. Gotta work out some idea's though. I have no idea!!!

I'd like to make my own squares this time, two if I may. The Us dollar isn't worth much at the moment, so that'll be ok (with the cash). I'll order some right away, because it'll take some time for me to get it.

now we're getting somewhere!!!

toni - we're doing a regular quilt so we're going to pass on the guitar idea. it was a cool idea but this is just for baby girl. (i know her name but don't remember how to spell it!!) also, we like to do full size quilts that the kids can grow into rather than a baby sized quilt that will be packed away when they outgrow it. you up for it girly???

teach - of course you'll get to do your own square. the bear square is a smack family square so that doesn't count as your square(s).

Okee-dokee! You know I'm up for it! What is the time frame for it? I have 2 I need to get done by Christmas. I figured if I sent the blocks out soon, we wouldn't need them done till after the first of the year. Whatcha think? That way, noone needs to rush, including me! LOL As far as everyone needing to do 2 blocks, can we wait for everyone to sign up, and then decide? If it's the same amount of people as with Jess', tghen 2 would be great, but not necessary. Any more people than that, 1 would work, and if they could definately do 2, that's fine too. Make sense?

Okay, first: I ordered the $$$ at the bank. They say I should have it within 7 days. Good news

second: I have an idea for 1 square, but ..how big are the squares going to be?? I saw this AMAZING (AMAZING!!!!) cross-stitch pattern I wanna try (with help from my mother-inlaw I hope....I've never cross-stitched!), but they're 20x18 cm. Uhmm.....in inches...7.9x7.1" To big??? (please say no!!!)
