I love anything sewing so when I saw all the cute novelty fabrics in the store I wanted them all. I looked all over the internet for a current swap so I could build my stash and didn't find one so I'm starting my own. This first swap will be based on novelty items that coincide with a letter of the alphabet.
My fabrics: V is for Vegetables, and P is for Pig
Each participant will pick a letter.
1. We are swapping 6" squares. You will purchase 1yard of fabric and cut it into 6" squares.
(I recommend buying a little more than 1 yard- you may need to fussy cut a little to get the item/object that represents your letter centered in the square, and you will probably have left overs.) You will need 26 total.
2. Choose a fabric that has a unique print suitable for an I Spy
ABC quilt. (Think about an object that a child could identify) Small scale prints work best.
3. Fabric must be quality 100% cotton.
(No flannels, or cheap/thin fabric etc) Also please do not choose licensed prints like cartoon characters, Dora, Barbie, Sponge Bob, etc. If you don't follow this rule your fabric will be returned to you un-swapped.
4. Fabric must be new and unwashed and must come from a smoke free environment.
5. Before sending your fabric to me, cut your fabric into 6" x 6" squares.
6. Put your fabric in a ziplock bag and include a note card with your name, address and email address.
7. In your envelope please include:
the 26 charms in a ziplock; the note card; a PREPAID SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE
for me to mail your charms back to you! This is very important! If you
do not send a SASE with your charms, I won't be able to mail them back
to you. (Flat Rate Envelopes are $5.60, but first class will be less)
8. Finally, upload a picture of your chosen fabric to the group page http://www.flickr.com/groups/2265598@N20/pool/ and label the letter in the description.
The Flickr group is where updated information will be posted.
Deadlines: You will be notified by email when the swap is full. As soon as we have 26 people sign up for the letters we will be full. I will update the blog as we get participants. Once swap is full you will have two weeks to mail in your fabric squares. (the sooner I receive the fabric the sooner you'll get your fabric
back) I will email everyone my mailing address once the spots are all
filled.
This swap has 26 openings (24 total including my two spots). Sorry, but
only US participants for this swap. You can sign up for a maximum of
two spots.
