Time to swap some more fun and/or funky novelty prints!

  • Because the theme is all and any kind of animals BOTH FQs WILL BE ANIMAL THEMED!

    And please remember QUILTING QUALITY COTTONS!!!!!

Please read the rest of the swap details.

For this swap, I'm running it like the stash builders: You have 3 partners. You will purchase 1 yard each of two quilting quality cotton novelty fabrics off of the bolt. You will cut each of them into fat quarters. Keep a fat quarter for yourself from each fabric and send one fq of pattern A and one fq of pattern B to each of your 3 partners. When the swap is done you will have 8 FQs of novelty fabric - all 8 based on the theme. You can use these for I Spy quilts, fun gifts, projects to swap, etc.

For themes, I will ask that both of the FQs fit the theme this month - but still be a novelty print! I am open to character prints. No holiday prints if it is not the theme of the month, ie no Halloween prints unless it is Sept. Here are future months themes:

  • August: In the Jungle/pets/forest animals
  • September: Halloween
  • October: Thanksgiving or Food
  • November: Christmas
  • December: Winter Wonderland
  • January: Hearts and Roses

    Note: The holiday themes are a month before the holiday, so you can make projects for that current holiday.

USA only due to the 2013 shipping rate increase. 4.97 rating, no recent 1s or 3s, and please have at least 5 type 2 or 3 swaps completed and rated. I am allowing newbies with full profiles.... this is a good way to get your type 3 swaps rated as a 5, please put forth your best effort. I will angel but you will need to rate the flaker with a 1. If you receive two novelty fqs that follow the directions, you must rate a 5. If you have a problem with the fabric you receive, please let me know.

Hmm, I think I may have enough yardage in my stash to do this without buying anything. . .time to check it out.

I shopped out of my stash for this. It's scary how much fabric I have that I forgot I bought.
