Used to be a regular here on rctq, maybe five years ago. Participated
in some really fun swaps, including the baseball thing one summer. In the years between then and now, I have been through divorce, retirement, selling my house, a long haul move, another long haul move, and yet another long move. I am staying where I am, right or wrong, because danged if I'm going through another move any time soon! To make a long story short, I used to keep my quilting fabrics (and everything else associated, that I collected) in storage tubs. After the first move, I bought barrister bookcases to put it in, then it got stored for quite a while. Fortunately, no damage came from the storage stint. Now I am refolding all these lovelies, and getting reacquainted with them. I really have an alarming number of pieces that are too topical for me to put in a traditional quilt, which is where I find my focus these days. I know it sounds weird, but if any of you are looking for a bit of (think the pieces are all at least a yard) of topical fabric, let me know. What I'm offering, if I can find something you want or like, is to trade a yard I can't use for a FQ I can use. Any takers? It's a trade, not a freebie, okay?

Hi Laura and welcome home. Help us, please, to crawl over the language
barrier here. What do you mean by topical and what do you mean by traditional? This group is so big that there probably is someone who may be making the switch from traditional to topical. Your definitions may be obvious to everyone else but I'm not sure what you're meaning. In Mississippi, topical is something you rub on a bug bite. Traditional? Could be anything from feed sacks to Baltimore Album. Just hoping to help you with a swap - and wanted to say how nice it was to hear from you again. Polly "Laura" wrote in message ups.com...

Sorry Polly...
What I mean by topical are such as prints of baseballs, soccer balls, combined sports balls. Allovers of fish, eagles and mountains. Even have some really cute, but not for me, juvenile things. A map of the US, surrounded by the states and their capitols. A panel with school buses and crayon ABC's. Some really nice Daisy Kingdom things, tossed Noah's Ark animals and such. That's what I mean by topical. Mybe it's better known as a focus print. I can do pictures, but I'd have to know what someone might want to see before they trade, and I'd have to email to whoever asks, as I don't have a web page. By traditional, I mean anything short of a huge print - not very useful in the FQ I'm asking for trade - and I don't care for really bright colors (Kaffe Fasset comes to mind, and I know there are others who embrace such brilliant colors). Blenders, small prints, and I do love marbles, florals, and who doesn't love batiks? Actually, my yellows to golds shelf is a little bit bare. :-) HTH Laura polly esther wrote: Hi Laura and welcome home. Help us, please, to crawl over the language barrier here.

You're probably thinking of novelty fabrics. People doing I Spy quilts
would be interested in those, I'm certain. If I had time, I'd even swap with you, but I'm swamped at the moment. -- Jenn/Jalynne quilting, beads, scrapbooking, cross stitch and other 'crafti' obsessions http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/jalynne29/my_photos Live! http://kinneykreations.com "Laura" wrote in message oups.com...
