This swap is now closed.
Who's ready for round 2?
This time with a little switcheroo...
The PLAN:
There was so much interest in the first swap that this one will be open to 56 participants.
1. Each person will be assigned a color. Once all the swap slots are filled, I will email you your color assignment. (red, pink, purple, blue, aqua, green, yellow, orange)
2. NEW! Purchase TWO yards of fabric in your assigned color.
*No solids please. Take note of the scale of the print as large prints are not best for charm squares. Pick something you LOVE!
This go-round, feel free to choose something that has some other colors in it, as long as the fabric reads your color. (Meaning, if you stand back to look at the fabric, there is no question as to what color it is.)
For instance, here are my choices for the swap: (images courtesy of Fabripalooza.)
 |
| Triflora in Lipstick AMH Loulouthi |
 |
| Kumari Garden Holiday Collection |
3. Fabric must be designer label, 100% cotton, quality fabric.
No Hancocks, Joanns or Michael's fabrics.
No Hancocks, Joanns or Michael's fabrics.
4. Fabric must be new and unwashed and must come from a smoke free environment.
5. Before sending your fabric to me, cut your fabric into 5" x 5" charm squares.
Press your fabric before cutting. You may want to purchase a slight overage in case you make mistakes cutting your charms.
1 yard = 56 charm squares (5" x 5".)
Here's a great tutorial on how to cut fabric into charms by Elizabeth Hartman.
6. Put your fabric in a ziplock bag and include a 3x5 index card with your name, email address, mailing address, fabric info (designer, manufacturer, line, color.) I will compile a master list of fabrics and email it to you once the swap is complete.

7. In your envelope, include, the charms in ziplock, the index card a PREPAID SELF ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE for me to mail your charms back to you! This is new and very important! I will NOT be billing through Paypal this time.
8. All charms must be in my hands by Saturday, August 13! I will mail charms back to you the following week.
Please join the Flickr group and post pictures of your fabric so we won't have any repeats.
OK, so are you ready to swap a rainbow?

If there you still have space I would love to join. I filled out the form - just let me know :)
Okay, I filled out the form! Sounds fun!
Boo-hoo! I didn't even get to read about it before it was closed!
I do have a question re a potential Round 3: I live in Australia so I can't send a stamped, self-addressed envelope; does that mean the swap is open to US residents only?
I didn't check email/blogs until now, and I missed it. Maybe next time :)
Wow this filled up fast! I'm sorry I missed it. I would have loved to be included. Maybe next time... Have fun! :)
shoot! I missed it too. Would definitely sign up for round 3. :-)
You are such a dear to organize this swap again. This one will be even better than the first with 56 participants. Glad I got in early and was able to help out this morning.
Oh no! Iv missed out that filled up very quickly!
I missed out :( Will you be doing a charm swap 3?
I'm sorry I missed out on this. It looks like it would have been a lot of fun. I hope you do it again in the future.
This looks like SO much fun. I really hope that you do another one because I'd love to participate.
