I am ok with dark and light batiks as long as the contrast is good. I think you are right, it is hard to find a cream but you will undoubtedly get some with cream batiks, I have a few. I think in the all over view of a quilt, the thing one looks at is contrast.Especially scrapppy.

Just double checking - are we doing the triangles, like the traveling sisterhood - just using cream (or neutral) on one side and dark on the other. If so, I think I want to join this one :-)

OK ladies, I have spent all morning online (after failing to find any in the area) looking for cream batiks and what I have found is that they all have different colors in with them. So, I just want you to be aware of that. Also, this leads me to the conclusion that if you want to use a cream/white/beige fabric that is not batik--go for it.



Have you checked www.batiks.com (i think that's it). Have not checked recently but they have a ton on batiks.

I am in for a batiks/cream exchange.

I checked my stash, and the piece I had in mind when I wrote cream batik is actually a hand dye. Will that work? -- Naomi in Oegon

I would be interested in a strip exchange as well. Really want to do both of those quilts also. There are just to many quilts to make and not enough time to do them all. :)

I am realy good with this exchange. 23 is a good number. I will try to do as many as possible but am about to become a Grandmother on or about march 3. If you could set the final ground rules, I will happily follow them. :D
my email is sanquilt@optonline.net and look forward to hearing from you. When is the deadline? Where do I send for the papers? Thanks for hosting it. I recently did host a heart swap at Carol Doaks site and it was a lot of work, sorting bagging and mailing. I appreciate your effort and would be happy to send you a fat quarter as a gift for all this work. Sandy

Yes, Sherry, you will be sending them to me instead of Debbie or Clara. Welcome aboard.

I'm new - and asking for a bit of help. I think I just entered the other group - but when I put my name, I did it in a capital - May23 instead of may23. Will that make a difference?
I would like to join your group for some of the triangles also. Thanks. may23

may23 - Hi Karla - I see you got on here - good job. Hey everyone, Karla is my friend from home and she is just getting familiar with TQS. Karla, it doesn't matter here if you use a capital or not - that only matters on the sign in screen. Ritzy will give us all the details - where to mail the triangles, etc.
