At this point it looks as though we will not find the original Batik Snowball top so with renewed interest I can going to open it to new joiners.

If you were a member of the original swap and I do not have your name, would you please let me know so your name can be added to the drawing which will be held around July 15th.

The only deadline will be a Postmark Deadline of July 1st! So sign-up and get your blocks to me as I will not include blocks Postmarked after that date!

My email address is on my profile page so send me your name, address, phone number and I will send you my mailing address.

BLOCK REQUIREMENTS:
Blocks will be Snowball blocks made out of Batik Fabrics. Start with block 6.5 in size and add 2.5" corner blocks. Unfinished block size will be 6.5".

Solid Black fabric cut into 2.5" blocks will form the 4 corners of the block.

Here is a site that will give you clear precise directions to make this block. Just remember you will have to adjust the size as they are making larger blocks.

Hi Betty I posted that to Kim months ago. I have no idea what happened to it after it left Aust.

Midge

Well great Midge,thanks! I've sent emails to you but since my computer crash I have lost a lot of them and yours was one of them! I guess they never made it to you! lol

Well I've added your name to the list and if it ever shows up just let us know. I figured it had to be floating around somewhere! Who knows?
Is there any way to trace it through your Postal Service? Just a thought! lol

I've heard from Kim and it's never been received. But we are going forward! lol

We hopefully we can get a few more swappers and we'll draw for what I have! It's just one of those things that can happen now and again.

Glad to hear from you though! Thanks Midge!

Hugs,
Betty

Sign me Up for the Batik Snowball swap revival! Betty, do you have another discussion as to how many blocks need to be submitted and address to send them to?
Bev

Well here we go,



those are my snowball's.
They are on there way as we speak. Let me know when they arrive.

Kerstin, wow that was quick. I'll be looking for it!

Bev, I've added you!

Betty

Looking good Kerstin! I'm so glad we have this going again.

Looks really good, Kerstin.

Betty, would you please post a picture of the blocks/quilt top you have so far so we can all drool? Pretty please?

Bev -

I believe you can make as many as you'd like. Originally, I think most people were doing 6, 8, or 10 blocks, but there wasn't a specific number.

Betty, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Ladies

I've found piccies of the original Batik Snowball swap so will post here
