The NEW Novelty Swap for April is Up!!! Sign up here!

I love making fun little things like coin purses for my daughters or fabric journal covers and bookmarks for friends(and swaps!) out of fun and funky novelty fabrics. And I was in the fabric store today and kept seeing so many bolts of novelty fabrics that are good quality fabrics and would be perfect for these types of projects. So I thought why not a swap?!?

So for this swap, I'm going to run it like the stash builders: You have 3 partners. You will purchase 1 yard each of two quilting quality cotton novelty fabrics off of the bolt. You will cut each of them into fat quarters. Keep a fat quarter for yourself from each fabric and send one fq of pattern A and one fq of pattern B to each of your 3 partners. When the swap is done you will have 8 FQs of novelty fabric. You can use these for I Spy quilts, fun gifts, projects to swap, etc.

The theme is sender's choice this time around. For themes, I will ask that one of the FQs fit the theme and the other can be sender's choice. I am open to character prints. No holiday prints if it is not the theme of the month, ie no Halloween prints unless it is Sept. Here are future months themes:

  • April: Girly(Mother's Day)
  • May: All Boy(Father's Day)
  • June: Patriotic(July 4th)
  • July: Down by the Sea
  • August: In the Jungle
  • September: Halloween
  • October: Thanksgiving
  • November: Christmas
  • December: Winter Wonderland

    Note: The holiday themes are a month before the holiday, so you can make projects for that current holiday.

USA only due to the 2013 shipping rate increase. 4.97 rating, no recent 1s or 3s, and please have at least 5 type 2 or 3 swaps completed and rated. I am allowing newbies with full profiles.... this is a good way to get your type 3 swaps rated as a 5, please put forth your best effort. I will angel but you will need to rate the flaker with a 1.

Are you open to character prints?

frenchie46 03/10/2013 #

I am open to character prints, but not holiday if it isn't the theme. I edited the swap info to add those.

For this sender's choice round, is it ok to send a holiday as long as it's NOT one of the holiday's already listed.

(ex: easter, valentine, day of the dead, new years)

I can see that being okay, @JlVerde it is sender's choice this round. I like the idea of sender's choice being allowed to send odd holidays not already covered in the swap themes...

@frenchie46 GREAT! I'm so excited the fabrics I have reserved for this swap are going to work out.
