Description:

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.

March - spring, flowers, Easter, pastels. April – recipients choice. May – ?any suggestions? June – ?any suggestions? July – patriotic, or summer

i prefer FQ; can't do much with a fat 1/8

The price increase in cotton fabric is down to poor harvest due to adverse weather conditions. Well that is what I was told, but the economic downturn has affected everything and I supose that affects our hobbies too. Sounds like a great swap. I am just watching for now though.

Suggestion for April or May could be masculine prints/plaids to make something for Fathers Day
