Second in a new series of swaps....

Anyone interested in doing “fat 1/8th” swaps? I couldn’t believe it when I went to JoAnn to get a FQ to use to fill in on a project I was doing….their prices have risen dramatically, and I only needed a few squares worth. Btw, a “fat 1/8th” is a FQ cut in half, or if you are buying from a bolt it would measure 9” by half the width of the fabric (about 22”).

So here’s what I was thinking about:

A different theme each month. Two partners each, send 2 to each of them. Good quality 100% cotton fabric---no solids or tone-on-tones. These will be senders choice, but if you have a preference you can mention it. Each swap, I will try to post a swap pic with suggested fabrics.

Established swappers only, 4.95 or above, no 1’s or unexplained 3’s in the last few months. I will angel this is necessary, but I will not be happy about it and will let everyone know about it.

Let’s have fun out there, and add to our stashes at the same time. Any questions or comments, just let me know.

December - Winter themed, snowflakes, trees

January - Valentines Day, hearts, red

February - St. Patricks Day, bright green, shamrocks

I'm all for adding more fabric to my stash! Maybe I'm just tired and can't think so help me out here . . . I will send two "fat 1/8th" of each theme to two people. Now, is that being mailed out one theme a month or all at once?

Perkl8r . . . you're a hoot! I'm having trouble looking through my stash too for "winter" themed fabric. I guess I'll have to go shopping as well! Hope my local stores have "winter" fabric still in stock, otherwise who knows what I'll send.
