Gearing Up For PTS7

They're gearing up for a new round of the Pillow Talk Swap on Flickr. And although I am cutting back on the number of swaps I'm in this year PTS is definitely on my To-Do List. If you're interested in joining in the fun you should go and sign up to join the Flickr group so you don't miss the announcement for signups , which is coming very soon. This round they're asking us to have our mosaics ready so we can submit them with our intention to join in the swap. This is the mosaic I made this round...

1. Lone Star Pillow 2. Block for Sarah 3. Oregon Star 4. Fabric Stack 5. Cushion Covers 6.October Star Block 7. Pillow Talk Swap 8. Hexagon Block 9. VQB Block 10. Orange Bag Design 11. UHG Swap Finished 12. Spicing up the Kitchen 13. Diamond Pillow 14. Argyle Zig Pillow 15. PTS4

I also add notes to my mosaics in all the swaps I am in to help guide my secret partners and give them specific insight into why I picked the images I did. The more swaps I participate in the more I realize how the more information and guidance you can give to a partner really helps. Often you are paired up with partners who have different tastes and aesthetics than you do. That's part of the fun. It helps to get you out of your comfort zone. There is still time if you want to join in the fun. Hop on over to the Flickr Group to get started.
