Chinese Culture Swap # 1

2006-12-11T22:34:00.000-06:00

This cute fortune cookie print is from the Tyhursts' of Newmarket, ON and is the first in the Chinese Culture swap. Interesting that the fortune cookie is not even Chinese! This one has nice fortunes printed on the fabric, too. Thanks so much, Cathy!

I have been putting all the wishes in a scrapbook as I get them so they will not get lost or damaged. I think I will put the Chinese Culture and the Provinces of China swaps in a separate scrapbook as they are different - more educational. I'm not sure yet how they will all go in quilts.

This one is another individual swap - I will continue to number them separately as "OHGWQ #_" - the group swaps will be labelled by swap name as I have been doing with Seeing Red. The group swap pieces may end up in the same quilt as the individuals. I will keep the ticker updated for the total amount of fabric received, including all swaps.

Ticker

2006-11-04T01:42:00.000-06:00

I was able to add a Ticker that would count the number of quilt squares I have received to date. However, it is called Exercise Ticker. Does any one know how to remove that title?

A work in progress

2006-11-01T21:42:00.000-06:00

This is a work in progress. I need to learn how to post scanned images before anything will show up here.
