Tuts are on the bottom!

Time to swap some more fun and/or funky novelty prints!

  • This month has a theme so one of your FQs has to fit the theme, which is Down by the Sea . Looking forward to ocean waves, fishes and sandy beach prints.

  • The other FQ is sender's choice, but it must be a novelty fabric that is or has been bought off the bolt.

Please read the rest of the swap details.

For this swap, I'm running 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 - 4 based on the theme, 4 based on your partner's fun-a-bility ;) You can use these for I Spy quilts, fun gifts, projects to swap, etc.

For themes, I will ask that one of the FQs fit the theme and the other can be sender's choice - but still be a novelty print! 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:

  • July: Down by the Sea
  • August: In the Jungle/pets/forest animals
  • September: Halloween
  • October: Thanksgiving or Food
  • November: Christmas
  • December: Winter Wonderland
  • January: Hearts and Roses

    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. If you have a problem with the fabric you receive, please let me know.

thanks perkl8r! I am loving the fabrics I have been getting from the novelty swaps :)

Just FYI for August, I've added pets and forest animals as well as in the jungle fabrics. I thought that would open it up a bit more.

I have a question....I have been on here for a while and I have a "low" rating, but Im working on it and if you look on my profile I have been getting nothing but 5's since I came back to the webpage. Would there be any why you, or anyone in the swap be willing to give me a chance?? to prove to you and everyone I send to that I am not a flaker now?? I have been watching your swaps you have every month and have wanted to join knowing I cant!! and TRYING so hard to get my rating UP!!! I host about two swaps a month and EVERYONE is more then welcome to visit my page and send my past swappers messages if they would like!!!
