First Christmas Fabric Swap
I would love to make a Christmas Rag quilt for our family to snuggle up with, and play a little game of I spy.
This first swap will be based on Christmas fabrics.
Participants will send 20- 4"squares of five different Christmas themed fabric (preferably something you could I spy).
1. We are swapping 4" squares. 1/4 yard of fabric should get you 20 squares.
(I recommend buying a little more than 1/4 yard- you may need to fussy cut
a little to get the item/object centered in
the square, and you will probably have left overs.) You will need 20 of each fabric for 100
total.
Small scale prints work best.
2. 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.
3. Fabric must be new and unwashed and must come from a smoke free environment.
4. Before sending your fabric to me, cut and press your fabric into 4" x 4" squares.
5. Put your fabric in a ziplock bag and include a note card with your name, address and email address.
6. In your envelope please include:
the 100 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)
7. Finally, upload a picture of your chosen fabrics to the group page https://www.flickr.com/groups/2682316@N22/ .
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 20 people sign up the swap 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 20 openings (19 open if including me). Sorry, but
only US participants for this swap. You can sign up for a maximum of
two spots.
If you sign up for two spots you will need to send 10 different fabrics.
Please sign up below by commenting with one or two spots. Also, leave your email address so I can contact you when we are full.
