Description:

Lots of us are looking to build our stash (whether we need to or not), so let's start with what I hope will be a monthly fabric charms swap. "Charms" are simply cut squares of fabrics to give you a little sample of different patterns.

This month will be SENDER'S CHOICE of patterns/colors.

We will:

  • Send neatly & accurately cut 5 inch squares (12.7 centimeter squares).

  • Send 10 charms to each of 2 partners.

  • EDITED TO ADD: Please make each of the 10 charms different from one another. No duplicates within the 10 charms to each partner. Thanks!

  • Indicate to your partner whether the squares are washed or unwashed

  • Send good quality fabrics, 100% cotton as would be used for quilting

  • Send on or before the swap deadline. On the rare occasion that you may need to send a bit late, please contact your partner before the swap deadline has passed.

  • Include the swap name and your user name in your package to make rating easy for your partner.

  • Kindly rate your partner in a timely manner, please.

  • Have fun sharing your fabric stash!

What can you do with fabric charms? There are LOTS of options! Here's some inspiration.

As soon as I clear one more swap out, I'm joining this one! I'll probably cut mine and have it ready like jannikinz.

Bah! I've already exceeded my fabric budget (yes, sadly I need one of those) this month so I'll have to wait til the next Stash Builder. :-( I'm 4 fabrics short!!!

Unless I could...nope, nvm. I had the wrong measurements in my head...darn!

Just wondering...does each 10 charms (to both partners), need to be different?

So 10 different charms X 2 ???

Does that make any sense??

SweetClementine 09/17/2009 #

Oh goodness! I intended to say "no duplicates" but it looks like I left that out of the description. I'll edit now!

There's no problem if you send the same 10 charms to both partners, but let's not send duplicates of the same fabric to one partner. Am I making sense?! ;-)

whiteway 09/17/2009 #

Yes you are making sense! Haha! Thanks for the clarification!!!

Doodlebabe 09/18/2009 #

Hah! My friend insisted I join this so has guilt tripped me into a private swap with her. Yay! I'll probably share the fabric with her ;-)
