*************************UPDATE 10-21-09*****************************
Hi Ladies - Just want to touch base with you all. Sally has notified me that she has mailed hers, so as soon as I get them I will mail a package to each of you whom I have received from. Thanks!
************************UPDATE***************************************
Would anyone be up for a mini half apron swap??? I came across a thread here on the site where the senior farmgirls do these and was wondering if anyone else would be interested? I looked online and found one picture, but it belongs to someone and I don't want to copy it and get in trouble. Does anyone have a picture of one that they could post as a sample. They are just the sweetest and soooo small. They look to be about the size of the palm of your hand (maybe a little bigger). I was thinking it would be fun to incorporate a bit of the signature block swap from quilting into it. Say maybe have the fabric be light enough so that we could sign our name, write our city and state, and date the apron as a keepsake of our fellow farmgirls. You could even include your farmgirl number.
I've been the mama of many other things, but not yet a swap. I would love to try it!!!! I was thinking the simple rules could be as follows:
1. Have a date to end sign-ups. (or should we only sign up the first so many since we would be making that many aprons? But how fun would it be to receive many mini aprons from around the states from our fellow farmgirls. I'm up for the challenge of making many, would you be? (I am a single mom and work full-time, but know I can do it!!! Like that confidence?? )
2. Have a strict date to have aprons due at my house. I know that life happens, but we all put time and effort into these great swaps and there should be a definite end in sight.  If for some reason someone has to excuse themselves along the way, no problem, but the rest of us can still make the initial amount and will have a couple of extras to give away or whatever we decide on. I don't think there will be that many though.
3. Send your completed aprons to me, along with a self addressed postage paid return envelope or little box. You know, the post office has $4.95 flat rate small boxes or envelopes. They say you can stuff them 'til your hearts' content and still only pay $4.95. Why send first class/parcel post when for a little more we can get them sooner and start enjoying them? That's the way I feel, at least.
4. I will post when each is received and will get them back into the mail within five days of when they were due to me. We just need to make sure they get to me on time that way I can get them back out to you on time. I will post the day they go out!! (I have a wonderful 17 year old daughter who gets suckered into helping me with all my swaps and creative ideas. I can just see her eyes rolling as I type.)  But she still loves me!!!!
What do you all think? Any interest? Please let me know!!!

Oh my goodness I love them, I am planning on hanging them on my tree this year. I might even make a few more to go with them. My daughter and I decorate our tree different every year, this year it might be farmgirl themed.
I got you email and emailed you back.

My Life has been very hectic this week, everything I planned on doing just didn't happen the way I wanted it too. So my aprons will be in the mail first thing Monday Morning. Sorry for the delay.
I love the ones you have gotten so far.

Hello Michelle, I have to drop out of this swap. Health problems are making me give up some commitments. I'll be watching to see pics though!

Whatever you would like. Just make sure the fabric of the apron is light enough so that we can see your name, home town and state and possible farmgirl # when you write it.
Have a good day!

Michelle, we should make 8 but only send you 7 (keeping one for ourselves). I've done that with other swaps before it works out well. send us your address.
Do we have a theme or just whatever we would like. I think I am going to have a winter theme for mine. I might put them all on my tree this year.

Like it Sally!!! Whatever size you make is fine. I would like to see the written area on the front of the apron that way everyone can see which farmgirl friend made it clearly. Where ever on the apron you see fit.
Have a good day!
