From Hearts to Hands
Swap Coordinator:pearlie (contact)
Swap categories: Craft Supplies 
Number of people in swap:3
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:July 6, 2012
Date items must be sent by:July 19, 2012
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

We all have our charity work and need supplies. If you craft, you must have extras that could go to good use. Each person should list in the comments section what their project and good works are. Then list 6 things you need and list six things you have to trade. When partners are assigned you will send just three things off of your partners list.

I don't think we need to set a dollar amount - we know we're the type that gives generously for others.

As a group swap I'm not setting rating restrictions - this is trust based. I'm also going to make one as public swap - but with rating restrictions.

Hi, my local projects that I could use help with are making pillowcases for the children at a near by hospital in the neurology dept. My son was there recently for a EEG test for his epilepsy. So material ,thread and the like would be great. Also making blankets for them as well.

I also am working on blankets for the animals and lap ghans for a nursing home. So any size block, crochet or knit or sewn would help.

Things I have to share, too many to list but I have all different kinds or yarn, wool, cotton. Alot of knitting needles all sizes. Can make blocks as well. Ribbon, beads and such.

Hi everyone! I do the following:

I crochet blankets for children that are ill or in trauma. So I will take yarn, mostly any kind (not the fancy ones) but the soft baby yarns (I also make baby booties, hats and washclothes). I also like the Vanna yarns and cotton yarns (like peaches and cream).

I live for crochet hooks and am always either losing them in my chair or leaving them somewhere. My favorite size is G and H.

I also seem to lose scissors:0) So small scissors for cutting yarn.

Thank you in advance! teri

@pearlie as my send partner, I'm interested in any 10.5" OR 12.5" quilt blocks, can always use baby yarn and the fabric, either cotton OR the fleese. Thanks

Hi all! I guess I forgot the things I have to trade. I have yarn, material, wooden items to paint, some beads, bottle cap tops. I hope this helps. teri
