This swap is a colour specific scavenger hunt for sewing supplies!

You must find for your partner, in their favorite colour sceme:

  1. One Fat Quarter (not plain, some kind of pattern)
  2. I skein of DMC quality floss
  3. Ribbon (3 yards or more)
  4. Buttons - either 1 large, 2 medium or 3 small
  5. One Profile Surprise Item (does not need to be sewing related)

Please be creative - take a look at your partner's profile to see what she likes/dislikes. Does she like polka dots?stripes?floral?certain patterns?etc?

The Profile Surprise item can be something handmade, a pin cushion, or something you buy or have in your stash, like a bookmark, notecards, embellishments, socks, etc. The profile surprise item does not need to be sewing related.

The requirements for this swap are:

  • 5 real mail swaps which have been rated (not postcards, or email swaps, etc.).
  • You MUST have a COMPLETELY filled out and somewhat detailed profile.
  • You must have a rating of 4.9 or higher
  • You MUST rate your partner and
  • No no sends - EVER.

I will be checking profiles to make sure you meet the requirements! I do not want any flakers in this swap!

This will be a USA & CANADA swap because of postage costs! If somone would like to host an international swap like this - feel free to copy the idea!

Please say below which colour is your favorite and have fun!

grey for me, please - i have almost no grey fabric in my stash. Also, instead of DMC and ribbon I'd give hearts for cotton thread instead (any color thread is fine).

crochetjunkie 12/15/2008 #

my usual favorites are orange and pink, but I think I'll go with turquoise or teal instead this time. It's fun to change it up a bit. What a great swap idea!!

Lime green or if you can't find that color try hot pink.

I have nothing gray either but do like greens and blues.

Hi everyone! I am thinking of making this swap a monthly occurence. I

was wondering if you guys could let me know any suggestions you may have. For example - do you like that you can pick the colour you would like to receive - or should I mix it up a bit sometimes and chose a theme (or colour).

Also, should I set up a Flikr group for all of us to post our swaps, and should I make a separate group for here on Swap-bot?

Any suggestions would be wonderful! Thanks! :)

I received today a package that I believe is for the sewing colour swap, but shouldn't be for me. For one thing, the colours are brown and green; for 2 things, I already got one from my partner: crochetjunkie. This package is from Katherine Matias, in West Virginia, but I don't know her on line name. Melinda Seyler aka Newleaf
