Also, the rules associated with the stitcher's guild swap this year mean that I would just be adding unnecessary things to the garments just to meet the requirement of using a new technique on each.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873478695914665795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-45485467672171408332010-12-12T18:51:10.403+00:002010-12-12T18:51:10.403+00:00I have tried and failed at swaps, I just don't...I have tried and failed at swaps, I just don't have the discipline and concentration required. I am not surprised PR got rid of the 10 piece one, I got to 7 pieces and my enthusiasm died. Of all the people who enrolled in the contest only a fraction actually completed.<br /><br />The endless combinations is a good idea so I'm surprised to see it has gone. It looks like the competition is heading more for individual items that wardrobe pieces (with the exception of the mini wardrobe). Perhaps that reflects the time people have available.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-22160400951358884812010-12-12T14:49:03.812+00:002010-12-12T14:49:03.812+00:00Hi Ruthie, you were the only poster and have won t...Hi Ruthie, you were the only poster and have won the pattern, let me know which you'd like and in which size and your mailing address. You can email me at: jennifersteynAThotmailDOTcom.<br /><br />I also moved during my 1st SWAP 2 years ago and it is very difficult. Needless to say I didn't finish. By the way...I just adore your names for your collections, "Winter Berries" is perfect.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12057253892868554819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4595089853264619781.post-26945995181235659242010-12-12T14:32:22.923+00:002010-12-12T14:32:22.923+00:00oh... and thanks for clarifying the meaning of &qu...oh... and thanks for clarifying the meaning of "swap" ... when I read this term in the past, I thought you all actually "swapped" sewn items with one another (like I've done in other art forums). I just recently joined the Stitch Guild, and wow, there's a lot going on out there.
