Description:

Share your stash!

You will be sending your partner them these items :

item 1: two FQs in your partner's choice of color.

item 2: your choice of any single new item from this list:

a) spool of thread in a color to match/compliment the FQ

c) a package of pins or hand sewing or machine needles
d) a card or package of buttons
e) seam ripper
f) tape measure

(suggestions? hand made sewing item (needle book, pincushion)
orphan quilt blocks
storage container or organizer
kit or supplies for a small project
treat to have with the tea
ribbon or trim
This is the category where I hope you'll be creative!
Checkout your partner's profile for ideas.

Here are the nitty gritty details:

You must have completed and been rated for ten or more type 3 swaps. If you have received a three or one within the last 4 months, sorry, you're out. I received the right to bump out questionable swappers.

All FQs must be 100% quilting quality cotton, clean and unused. Please send fabric that you would be proud to swap with your best sewing buddy and not fabric that you know that you would throw in the trash if you didn't feel so guilty. Same goes for everything else. If you don't want to get junk, don't send it!

If you don't have the assemble and mail your swap ( $10 tops assuming you don't have to buy everything ) then please don't sign up.

If on the other hand, this sounds like fun and you'd like to share your stash and can't wait to open your goodies, welcome aboard!

Please sign up and then post here to introduce yourself and your color preference.

Suggestions? ideas? Post them here!

hey watchers, what can I do to entice you to join? Leslie

ContraryHousewife 10/ 7/2014 #

Dotty, the sign-up deadline is pretty far out yet, just making sure I don't have too much on my plate when the time comes. This is one I'd like to join, IF I am able to commit come November.

Hi Housewife, My son is getting married on November 8th, hence the dates. I don't have much to do for the wedding since he and his fiance have planned it all. Still I want to be careful not to have too much to send before then. I thought that organizing a swap would give me something to look forward to after the inevitable post-wedding emotional slump hits. Have a great day, Leslie

Hi, Leslie. I'm watching, too, rather than joining at the moment just to make sure I can commit. It sounds like such a great swap, though! ~Michelle

quiltgirl 10/12/2014 #

Yea!! I just joined up, this is my first swap. I am sew excited. :-)

PolkaDotty 10/14/2014 #

Hi Quiltgirl and jswdesigner.

I've sent you both a pm to explain why you are being removed from the swap. FYI to everyone else, I've offered to set up a private swap with them so they can do the same swap.

have a great day, Leslie

Leslie I keep trying to reply to your message to me but 'reply' button won't work. My reply is YES. Thank you so very much for Making My Day Wonderful. Hugz Jonell

Could the drink be coffee or tea? I only drink coffee..... but its fine if it cant be..

Hi Leslie! I'm one of the "watchers". I personally prefer swaps with longer "send by" dates, after swaps are assigned. The reason being is that I can take time to "get to know" my partner (through their profile). Then this way I can try my best to keep an eye out for things I think they would like and also time for handmade items in colors, etc., that they would like.

MHO,

Susie

PolkaDotty 10/29/2014 #

Hey Susie, had to look up MHO... one of the "definitions" was OHM reversed LOL! I check and I set the send date 14 days after the sign up date. Don't you think that's enough time? I think that if it's too far, off it's easy to lose track of the deadline. I also like the immediate gratification of sending and receiving before too long. ;-) comments anyone??

PolkaDotty 10/29/2014 #

BTW, any beverage works for me but please check to see if your partner has expressed a preference.

fq in blues, greens, purples. Tea is fine just not black tea. i like herb tea, but i drink coffee in the am, got to get started some way 1

Hi PolkaDotty,

I would LOVE to do this swap but it would be my first ever swap so does that mean that I can't do it as I haven't been rated yet? Please let me know :-) I have my fingers crossed!

PolkaDotty 10/31/2014 #

Only a few days left lurkers! I'm going to be sending one lucky swapper an extra package of goodies. I'm hoping that we have a nice big group of swappers in the mix. hugs to all, Leslie

ContraryHousewife 11/ 2/2014 #

Would love some yellows or bright golds. No kids prints please. Matching thread or needles would be great. I like black tea and hot cocoa. Looking forward to making a special package for someone. :)

whit763 11/ 4/2014 #

I wish this swap wasn;t just for tea because I don't like tea :/ just hot cocoa & coffee

Elanah 11/ 5/2014 #

I would love some pink, orange or yellow fabrics! And I don't drink coffee or black tea, but would love herbal teas or cocoa! =)

raesha 11/ 7/2014 #

Hello everyone! I would love some fat quarters in reds or yellows. I always seem to be lacking those in my stash. I love herbal tea and chai tea. I don't care for black tea. Thanks so much!!!

PolkaDotty 11/30/2014 #

Just a quick update: lexi83 has been suspended and I will be stepping in to angel for her partner, MrsRemington.

raesha, I doubt you will receive a rating although I'm sure you sent your package to lexi.

Elanah has received but not rated. She assures me she will take care of this.

It appears that everyone else has sent and received. I apologize for all the problems. Next time I host, I promise to try and be more selective about who I allow to participate.
