I spy....

with my little eye...

something awesome.




it's me.


but that's not all....

it's mandy too.

mandy from sugar bee posted about making an i spy quilt...


LOVE THIS
and I immmmmmediately got on to emailing my sisters to see if they wanted to do an i spy swap..

they were in.

and then I got my neighbor (who blogs here:


to get in it on it...


but guess what.  we need SIX more people.

Let me tell you the details:

you buy 10 different kinds of fabrics.

we are looking for BRIGHT colorful ,fun, fabric...for example:

these are for sale HERE at thread this

 or for even MORE examples:


source

not just patterns....some kind of print to look for....


you cut each fabric up into 10  6 by 6 in squares.  so when you are all done..you will have 100 squares
(makes sense?)

then you will stick them all in an envelope with $6  and mail it to me. (by JUNE 1st)  (or if you live near me, you could hand deliver it to me and I will even give you an autograph..on your bra straps...like a rock star.)

Then I (with my sister's help cause I ain't no fool) will spread them all out and divy them up.

and I will take your 6 bucks  and ship 100 different squares back to you.

sounds easy enough

(but then you have to sew it all together...not the easy part...but still fun)

(for a crazy amount of ideas on what you could do with them...go HERE)

Does this sound like something you would want to do? huh? does it? 

We only need 6 people so if you are interested email me at kimbowest21(@)gmail.com



***WE ARE FULL!*** to the max. I even opened it up to ten more people!

and it's been so fun I will probably do it again in a few months!!!!!

    if my quilting skills were better I would be on this in a hot second, however knowing me those 100 squares of awesome fabric would sit in my craft room for about five years before a night of insomnia led me to piece it all together, LOL. Awesome idea!

    What a stinkin' fun idea! :-) WAY cool idea! I wish I had more time and my sewing skills were a bit better! Can't wait to see the results! I hope you post all the finished quilts here for us to see!

    I am probably too late, but if I'm not I am totally in! That sounds so fun. (And, I don't live close, but I could send a bra strap for you to sign, because that would be cool!)

    Hi Kimbo,

    I'm starting an I-Spy swap based in Europe, open to anyone anywhere. If you know anyone who'd be interested, I'd love it if you could let them know.

    Thanks! Helen
