Siggy Squares

SIGNATURE SQUARE SWAP
Signature Squares are made up of two items:
a six and a half inch (6 ½) square of fabric of your interpretation of country theme and
a six and a half inch (6 ½) square of homespun or quilter’s muslin which you have decorated with your ‘signature’.
You will be issued with a list of Siggy Square Swappers on registration and it’s up to you to track down each person in the swap and exchange Siggy Squares. It is lots of fun and a great way to meet other SCQuilters you have previously only ‘seen’ in messages.
Del has uploaded some examples of siggy squares in the photos section of the Retreat Yahoo Group pages
