Posted Poll to the Right :)


Here are my thoughts on some of the items listed....
Tea towel... you would get a cotton tea towel and either do an applique on it or an embroidery theme, then have a matching pot holder ;)
The Halloween Stockings... you would make stockings using Halloween fabrics and put a few fun Halloween items inside ;)
Eye mask.. I envision these like the grand ball room masks you see in all of the Victorian movies, or Marti Gras.
Up-cycled clothing item.. I see this as taking a mans suit vest and appliqueing on it a Halloween theme or stitching mofits. Up-cycling an item into something new with a Halloween theme.. you could make an apron.. but this swap must be a clothing item you would wear :) Shirt, Apron, Vest, Jacket, Jumper... but has to be up-cycled.. Items can be purchased at the Good Will or an old item you have at home. It must fit your partner too. So that means getting to know your partner by emails to get the size etc.... ;)
The rest of the items are sort of self explanatory :)
Vote for one or more.. at the end of the poll the item with the most votes win..
we will make that item :)


Lastly I want to do a down and dirty Pot holder swap while we are waiting to get started on our Halloween Project...
These can be knitted, crocheted or made with fabrics :)
So that means that my yarn loving friends can join in on the fun... so if you crochet or knit.. please make your potholder with this method ;) Any Theme :)
Of course I can't knit or crochet.. so mine will be made with fabric ;)
Send me an email if you want to play along in this swap..
auntpittypatsfun@yahoo.com
I need the following information:
Name
Address
Blog
Phone Number
Will you ship international????
This swap is for a pot holder only.. no extras!!!
I will hold the entry open through the following dates.. Starting today and Ending the last day of June... then I will assign partners shortly after the closing date.
Please advise if you would like an international partner ;)
Thanks :)

First of all thanks for showing my black and white cocka-a-doodle potholder on your blog...I was surprised to see it.
Also, I can only vote once on your poll...but you said we can vote for one or more items, only it won't let me. Also, I sholdn't probably shouldn't voet because I don't sew, right? (i.e. I don't do Annnies or Aprons)

I've never participated in a swap before. Is the partner the person you exchange with? Is there a them for the potholders or just any design?

Thanks and I hope you're doing well today!
Doris :-)
