Swaps

wrote: I hosted a swap for "candy jar" fabrics not too long ago. I want to make (it's still not done... but on the TO DO list... The problem is ... you need a wide variety of specialized fabrics (candy type) but only SMALL pieces of each one. Even less than a fat quarter! So by doing a swap -- I got 15 - 20 people who each found ONE candy fabric... cut it up in to squares (I think they were 8 inches by 10 inches) and they all mailed them to me. Then I dealt them out like cards... and we still all paid only for " 1 yard" -- but that one year was comprised of 15 - 20 different fabrics! That is a "centralized" swap -- where everybody sends their stuff to one person who shuffles it up and returns it to the participants. Each person sends a preaddressed - -prepostaged return envelope. That way the hostess isn't out any additional cost -- only her time. I frequently -- generous swappers include a nice little thank you gift for taking the time and trouble to coordinate the swap. Does that make sense? I've never done a swap that wasn't "centralized". And I'm actually thinking of doing another one soon... this one for "BUG JAR" fabrics.!!! I will if there is at least a dozen people who would want to participate. Another one I want to do is "bird seed" fabrics -- anything that looks like it could be bird seed -- that one may be harder to come up with fabrics... I need to do a little homework to see how many different fabrics like that there are out there. Anyhow -- that's what a swap is like! Kate in MI I've been collecting for a "bug jar" swap for ages. I collect 9" x 11" rectangles - you cut to 9" x 5 1/2" to make a jar quilt - so would love to be in your swap... and put forth the proposal to make the size of charm we swap 9" x 11". That way you can cut two 9" x 5 1/2" charms to make jars out of (you can play "find the other jar of butterflies" *or* you can collect for two different jar quilts) and you still get quite a few of this size of charm out of a yard of fabric. -- Jo in Scotland |

Oh Teri!
Sign me up!! ~NS Terbear wrote: Hi & Welcome, I have hosted numerous swaps here & ALWAYS post them here on the RCTQ before each swap starts up. I have a dots fabric swap (blocks made with only dots fabrics) planned for the next one. I am nearing time to host that one very soon. I had 3 breast cancer quilts I wanted to get done before I commit myself to hosting a new swap (and a few other projects)....but it looks like my plate is getting clean!!!!. I also host a YOUR PICK swap, where everyone makes blocks out of your fabric & sends you the blocks....it is a super fun swap....I think this current group is ending sometime around January or so...so, keep an eye out for my posts, would love to have you join in!

Hello, all! I've been lurking for a while and have really enjoyed all that I've learned from you guys. My questions are about swaps. I've never participated in one and don't know how they work or how to find one. What are some of the swaps you guys participate in? How does the block of the month swap work and how do I sign up? Thanks! Erika in Texas |
