Are you using a treadle or a motor to power the press? If you’re using a motor, the drive belt will need to be adjusted to the correct tension. And some motors have adjustable speeds, so perhaps that’s what he’s calling the timing. But I usually think “timing” in this situation is the operator’s hand eye coordination and attention span. 

I’m good with the January Deadline. As well I like the idea of 3qty per design. As to size, I haven’t decided yet. Let me know when you need to know for shipping cost and I will let you know.

I’m fine with January and with waiting on shipping costs.Where will we be sending these? Remind me.I’m looking forward to this!Thanks!

January is fine with me – if you are done early you can send them early or you can wait and send later!Might be easier and more accurate to wait to figure shipping until all the entries are here??

Mine will either be square 10x10cm or c6 10.5x 14.8cm with envelopes it depends on my mood and what I have new to make!

Cool! I would like 2 or 3 of each card, too. Right now, I expect to print either postcards or A6 cards with envelopes. Did we agree on a due date? Late January, maybe?Thanks!Ren

rules are simple.. you pick the size, you pick the paper!Provide an envelope or surprise us with a postcard. Up to the printer!We still need to decide how many cards per participant (depends on how many people are in and how many we want each — I would like 2 or 3 of each printers card, what does everyone think??If everyone can let us know what…[Read more]

Hazel & Violet is in!

Very glad you are running with this notion…I’m in.

Sounds great!

I love the idea of leaving the size open to the printer if everyone is game — and I know that a printed envelope that coordinates with the card is a lovely touch! And I think  a postcard is a cool idea too! 4 bar is roughly 3.5×5 inches when folded. 

We could leave the size up to each of us; that way we can use what we have. I don’t expect that anyone would go poster-size :-)Envelopes: hmm. What if we provide envelopes that coordinate somehow with the card. Companion print? Or not. We can leave that to the printer. Maybe some of us would want to print Birthday postcards. . .?I would prefer…[Read more]

Yes I think a November deadline or a January deadline (December seems very hectic already for everyone)?? ENVELOPES: Do we want to provide the coordinating envelope as well? (so its a set, you can print on the envelope as well or not)? that way you can do any size you want up to say a-7 envelope? Or maybe we don’t even have to worry at all about…[Read more]

Yes, I would like to be in this swap! Could the due date is sometime in late winter or early spring?Ren

Yes I do have pictures, do you have an email i can send you pictures and details

Does anyone have pictures of the Mohawk and LoL “What are you making today” prints? I sent mine in but couldn’t make the conference this year and would love to see some photos of what others made.

Im happy to coordinate/organize this.. if there is still interest??

I agree – especially since you’re getting the press, and if that would keep the press from further deteriorating sitting in a barn. If you have a maintenance person in your region, you can get the whole thing looked over, adjusted, etc

I’d love to join the birthday card exchange as well!
