****Swapping has begun!! Link up your posts and check out the fabric on offer HERE****
This is a fun linky fabric party concocted by the wonderful Krista at Krista Stitched and me.
The idea is to swap those fabrics that you've had lying around for a while, things you're tired of and those you're not sure you'll ever use. It's an opportunity for you to put out a call to swap for fabrics you've been hankering after or have a nosy at what people are offering up!
Here are the rules:
- Offer to swap a fat quarter (18" x 22") of good quality quilting cotton fabric.
- You can offer as many as you like but must be willing to swap each one individually (so no bundles please), although if someone wants to swap more than one with you obviously that's fine.
- You must be able to swap internationally, if you're swapping one fat quarter the costs shouldn't be too high. Of course you can chose to swap with someone in your own country, just please be open to international swaps. No posts should be limited to only participants of one nation swapping. **I know people are worried about postage costs so that's why I'm trying to limit the fabric amount, please also bear in mind there are slower postage methods you can use that you could arrange with the swaps!!**
- Write a post, add the button to your post and link up!!
- Once you've swapped please edit your post so it's clear your swap is closed.
You can either ask people if they have specific fabrics you want to swap for in your post or leave it open. When you see some you like let people know what number link you are and see if they want to swap for some of yours.
You can still play if you don't have a blog by checking out the links but you'll have to be able to email pictures or link to a flickr picture of the fabric if people don't know the fabric line already!
The link will open on Tuesday 20th March (the Spring Equinox) and stay open for a week.
It's up to you whether you're quick off the mark to accept swaps or bide your time to see what's out there!
I hope you'll want to play along, please help spread the word by adding the button to your blog and letting people know you're going to play. Oh and let's all play nice :)
Now get sorting through your stash and grabbing the button!
