Description:

This is a swap for random (in design and size) scraps of cotton fabric--gingham, calico, you-name-it. But let's be colofrul, cute, and fun (please don't send all solid colors, or all dull or dark colors.)

I'm saying random in size because I for one don't want to spend time measuring and cutting perfect little squares. I'm not a quilter for a reason! But when I say scrap I don't mean teeny-tiny bits you can't sew anything out of. Let's be realistic. Maybe no smaller than a 3x5 index card.

I am making a lot of mini plushies and dolls for my Etsy shop lately, and I usually make clothes for them from cotton fabric, so I want some more variety in my collection. Maybe you do too?

I'm making this a QUICK swap because I'm leaving on holiday soon and I'd love to do it before I leave! If it's too fast for everyone I will just change it and be patient.

Rules: 1. You will send to two partners so you will get 2 packets. 2. Send at least 10 different scraps. 3. Have fun!

I will send 100% cotton, but I'd like my partners to know that I'm open to any cool fabric - silk, taffata, lace, whatever. I'm making a crazy quilt, so texture is really important. Solid colors are fine, too, as I will add embroidery stitches. If my package is all cotton I'll be happy, too.

Hi, I hate to mention... but 5/24 is a Sunday and 5/25 is a US holiday (Memorial Day) and our Post Office is closed both days. So those of us in the USA will not be able to meet the mailing deadline. Would it be possible to extend it just a day or two? Anna

I was just going to say mine might be a day late since I will be out of town....

I've changed the signup date to the 23rd and the mail date to the 26th. Sorry about the confusion. I wanted it to be a quick swap, but I was a lil sleepy when I chose the dates.

I just moved and have - for once - a great idea of where all of my fabric is! Cute swap!

I have a few linen/cotton blends...anyone like those?

FeltPrincess 05/21/2009 #

I am happy to receive any cotton blends ... I just don't want fabric that's hard to work with when sewing small items, which is why I suggested cotton. :)

This is a great swap! I would be happy with cotton prints of course, and pretty much any other fabrics as long as they're not denim or velvet.

AttackofSteph 05/21/2009 #

I have mostly cotton in my stash, but would be happy being sent any fabric or blend :)

boatingbelle 05/22/2009 #

I am currently making a hexagon patchwork quilt and would love cotton prints in muted colours (min 3" x 3")

ourhomelearning 05/22/2009 #

This sounds like a lot of fun! I'll love anything that you'd like to send. If it isn't something that I'd normally sew with I'll use it on an ATC or other craft. Prints are fabulous! I have quite a bit of cotton flannel and quilters cotton to share, too.

gonesewin 05/23/2009 #

Anything for quilting or crazy quilting is good for me!

Laurel22 05/23/2009 #

I will be happy with anything. Any Color, any Print. I love quirky, so if you've got something crazy to off load, I'd be happy to receive it.

ViolaOdorata 05/23/2009 #

Any fabric or blend is fine by me. I like cute, skull and tattoo print fabrics. I like the bigger peaces better than the small ones (I make bags), I can send them also.

MrsAnnaSue 05/23/2009 #

This is a great idea and any cotton is great for me!

AttackofSteph 05/23/2009 #

have my packages almost ready, just waiting on partners so I can make sure they will like everything. :D

FeltPrincess 05/25/2009 #

please keep in mind that if you asked for something specific and you don't get it, that is because this is a random cotton fabric swap, and pieces don't need to be big. that's why i made it a scrap swap ... you might get exactly what you asked for, but you might not. be nice. ;)

Mandolin50 05/25/2009 #

My preference would be 100% cotton as that is what I mostly work with.

principeta 05/25/2009 #

Please not black or dark colors for me.Thanks.

AttackofSteph 05/25/2009 #

Are the people we send to the people that send to us? or are we partnered with all different people?

FeltPrincess 05/26/2009 #

I believe the partners are assigned randomly ... the computer does it for me! :)
