Fabric Charm Swap

Are these fabric charms to come from a designated designer, or are they from your own fabric stash in 4,5, and 6 inch squares?

Should they meet a particular theme or color?

They can come from your own fabric stash providing they are nice fabrics.What i mean is designers like the above or even Debbie Mum,Laura Ashley ect.In other words if you purchased it in a quilt shop then yes it can come from your own stash.I would prefer we didn't just swap what we found at a garage sale or thrift shop.You can also swap hand dyed fabric you did yourself.

If you have a favorite color or theme then add it to your profile or on here.

I have a lot of brand new charm packs. I do not believe they are named but are very good quality. Will this be acceptable? Check out my flickr quilts as these are made with them. I would love to trade if so.

Hello,

Have to say your quilts are gorgeous.Yes i think that would be fine to use your charm packs.I just dont want anyone to send like i said above.Just be sure to read your partners profile.I want everyone to get something they can use and have fun with.I love the charm packs there so much cheaper and you get such a variety to use.Good luck with your quilt sales and have you considered using Etsy? I love that place and i have a shop as well just haven't added anything yet.

Hello i'm new to this and really interested in this swap. but i have a question..does the fabric all have to be different cuts? are we allowed to give about 2cuts of the same pattern for some prints?

Please see my profile for colours, but I would be happy with any colours - because I probably have too many of my favourite and not enough of the others anyway! As for sizes, I would prefer 5" or 6". Thx!

Like Tassy, I'd prefer 5 or 6" as I plan to use them for yo-yos. I'll make the same size for my pal, unless she prefers otherwise! Thanks!

You could cut say 15 charms from one pattern and 15 from another pattern.You could cut 10 from one pattern and then 10 from 2 more different pattern.As long as there are some different patterns it should be ok.When you get your partner ask them what they prefer.

I don't mind getting duplicates as long as there are at least 5 different fabrics used (for example, 6 charms from each of 5 different fabrics). Or they can all be different too. Thx.

Hi, I'd like 5 or 6 inch charms. I would prefer a variety and will send a variety to my partner unless you say otherwise. Thanks!

okay i've signed up for this one! :D

and like toryam i'd love to get a larger variety of fabric and i'd do the same for my partner unless specified (: would also prefer 5,6 inch charms (: thankyou <3

Hi, I really can't resist more fabric, I'd love pinks and greens in 5 or 6 inch charms. Can't wait.

I love romantic pink og green. White or creem is also irresisteble. Sice does not matter.

Hi Nina,

Let me know if there are some additional colors or fabric type you would like.I know you are doing some different things besides just the quilts.Would like to send you something suitable to Crazy quilting or to do your charms.

Joyce

I am soo excited! Woo hoo. I will go and look and pick something special right now! xx

PoMo Golightly, any preferences other than rose, cream, brown?

PoMoGolightly, never mind, I checked you blog instead!

I would love a variety also. No repeats if possible. I also really love fabric on a white background or light colors. Thanks partner!

PoMoGolightly, your swap will be mailed tomorrow morning (Feb. 24).

PoMoGolightly, forgot to mention that it can take a while for mail to get to the U.S from Canada, so please be patient! Thx.

I just opened my envelope from Toni Duke. The squares are 6 and half and she says she is a quilter so it is extra. I do not think so. There are only two fabrics (many squares of same) and they are definitely not quilting fabrics. They are sheer/stretchy polyester. This is the third failed fabric fabric swap I have been in. I am preparing a package now for Toriam and will photograph it before I send it.

Aly thank you for contacting me.This is my rant so you may want to stop reading now.In the description it says NICE fabrics.This means cotton fabric not polyester.I hate polyester i always have.If you do not have quality fabric in your stash then you will need to purchase some.I do not understand why people sign up for a swap then send substandard items themselves.It's disappointing and hurtful to the receiver.I have been receiving some myself.

I will be sending them back to the sender and asking for items that fit the swap.I'm not talking about fabric charms i haven't received mine yet.I'm just talking about in general.I think that 80% percent of swappers are wonderful ladies who really care.It's the other 20% that are not and send crap because they want something nice.I could go on and on but i wont.I really think it's important that this gets resolved so swap-bot can be a better place.

Tassy - I mailed your charms Friday, (2/23). Hope you like them! Have a great day!

toryam, I will be on the lookout for them - thx!

I've been sent a pack the same as Aly the fabrics are pretty but not quilting fabrics. I am really confused as Toni is not an agreed swap partner. I have had no contact from Toni whatsoever. I just don't understand this! I don't know what to do from here. I have one swap partner and that is funkychicoriginals. I will only send my swap when my e-mails are responded to. I don't mean anything mean spirited here I am just confused.

Right, as a newbie to swapbot I have misunderstood things. I have realised that funkychicoriginals is not my partner I misread the info. Kate Ross in the UK is, however Toni in the USA has sent the package. I have seriously been put off swap bot as this is my first time.

little stitcher: With Swap-Bot, the partner you send to is not the partner who sends to you - the F.A.Q. Page explains all of this (the link is at the top left corner of this page).

Thanks so much I clearly misunderstood. Even though I did read the rules.

ps I am sending the pack back to the sender as I cannot use it in any way.

I just received a message from little stitcher asking me to give her Toni Duke's contact information. I do not feel comfortable giving out another person's contact info. Also on my package her return address is on the envelope. How could Toni Duke have been assigned two different partners? Where would she have gotten both addresses? Mine and "little stitcher." Some thing seems fishy to me. I decided not to send it back as I am too busy and don't care that much about getting the fabric.

Swap bot must have messed up when everyone looked to see who there partner was.

Toni Duke is littlestitchers swap partner.Meaning Toni Duke was to send to her.littlestitcher you should be sending to sewpatchwork.

Aly your partner that you received from or should have is MHlivin.

I'm not sure how this happened when i looked it didn't show any thing was wrong.If you have questions or need help then please send me a message.

Thanks

Joyce

Sorry. It was maybe my fault. My swap partner's last name is also Duke and she (MHLivin) did not put her screen name on her package so I assumed she was the same person. My partner sent me a message and I think she will now send the right package.

toryam, I received your package today and love the great variety of fabric! Many thanks! T.

Aly, your package arrived today, Thank you! I love the variety! I couldn't tell which ones were from Japan, tho', lol. Have a great day and thanks again!

Tassy, Thanks for the package--wonderful!!
