Good Old Fashion Fabric Swap

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:igobylorib (contact)
Swap categories: Fabric 
Number of people in swap:16
Location:Regional - US and Canada
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:March 30, 2009
Date items must be sent by:April 30, 2009
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

I know there are MANY fabric collectors (or hoarders as I am commonly refered to by my husband) out there and I thought this would be a great swap for us. After signing up, You MUST list in the comments section ATLEAST 3 favorite colors (you can also include color combos you like) as well as ATLEAST 3 favorite patterns / themes you like as well. Remember the more options you list the easier it is is for your partners to chose from because they might already have it in their stash vs having to buy it.

We will have two partners and you must send two FQ's to each parter: one from the color section and one from the pattern / theme section. If you partner likes polka dots (like me) you can send polka dot fabric from their color choice as well as there pattern choice.

Working on a quilt and need FQ's for it, have an idea for a new project, or just want to increase your stash of a particular color or pattern then this is the swap for you.

There are only a few requirements: * You must have a 4.8 rating or highter - that can not include any 1 within the last 3 months * Please DO NOT send solid fabric for the color section. * Please send 100% cotton fabrics ONLY for this swap * Please do not just use your stash if it does not fit your partners list. Everyone in this swap is trying to get fabric they want so let's try to really please our partners * Please do not list manufactures names. Many of us may have your fabric already and/or do not have a "local quilt" shop and this will make it harder for your partner to meet you needs :)

Money is tight for everyone so I am going to keep this a US/Canada swap since you might have to purchase FQ's for your partners.

have fun and thanks for aiding in my fabric obsession :)

hugs- lorib

I LOVE fabric!! I will take just about anything-I like red calicos, moose or woodsy themes, sewing themes, Christmas (no santas)something purple, patchwork type print....or, you can just surprise me!

Turtle17 03/20/2009 #

Colors: pink (baby girl pink), teal or black. I love the combination of pink and black, or pink, black and white. Also like the combination of teal and purple.

I love paisley prints. I collect fabric with any turtle :) I like small floral prints with multi-colored flowers.

littlecumulus 03/20/2009 #

What a great swap! I love bright colors -- turquoises are a favorite, as are yellows and oranges (but don't feel like you have to just stick to those). I don't so much like baby pastel prints or the muted, darker, country-ish color palate. For prints, I LOVE dots of any kind, modern floral or abstract designs, 30s repro fabric, mushrooms (I don't have any but would love to start a collection of those), and modern animal silhouettes. Surprises are also nice! I have photos of some recent creations on my blog if you want a visual on some of the things I like: littlecumulus.blogspot.com. Thank you thank you thank you!

Colours: reds, blues, yellows, pink, i like brights and really deep colours.

Prints: paisleys, polka dots, stripes

I'm currently collecting for a charm quilt, so I would like to get anything different, really. I don't really love darker colours or neutrals. I don't have any black and white prints, so that would be good as well.

katrina314159 03/21/2009 #

Oh and cherries.

I would really take anything cheerful. I LOVE Japanese prints, polka dots, retro, vintage, and like Igobylorib, I also love repurposed linens (pillowcases or sheets cut into fqs).

Colors: Anything bright and cheerful Patterns: Japanese, dots, etc... boy themed prints would be great too. :)

Yay, I'm glad I found this before the deadline.

tinymatchboxstudio 04/ 1/2009 #

Bright color...reds, raspberry, pinks, blues, teal, aqua, purples, oranges, yellows, lime green,....also love black and white. My latest color cravings/pairings... retro aqua/tomato red; hot pink/bright yellow; hot pink/orange; orange/bright aqua; purple/yellow; and black/white.

Prints- fun flowers like the retro daisy, or tiny flower prints on black or bright colors. Crazy about all polka dots and I like stripes, plaids, and tiny prints. Finally, I would love to receive the fun Japanese kawaii prints...like the ones with pigs, cupcakes, kitty, deers,cherries etc. The stuff on my icky list would be fish,seahorses,and mermaids ...sounds like I may need therapy!

igobylorib 04/ 1/2009 #

sorry for the delay. I had review the particpants profiles before assigning partners and had a crazy birthday weekend :)

identityseven 04/ 1/2009 #

klowe - could you please leave your fabric preferences please so I can get your parcel together?

thanks!

klowe 04/ 1/2009 #

oops, sorry for the delay!

color: I am going through a red phase. I also like brown and orange, teal, aqua...any variation of those is fine.

prints: i love polka dots, or any modern floral. I also like large graphic prints. I also like whimsical and cutesy fabric, like Japanese fabrics.

Thanks! Don't feel the need to buy anything if you don't have what I like. I will be fine with whatever you choose!!

rachellovesdogs 04/ 1/2009 #
