2.5" Mini-Charm Swap Deadline to Join Dec. 7, 2013
 

Please cut your mini-charms before joining.

Sign up deadline is Dec 7, 2013
Squares need to be in my hands by Dec 14, 2013
I will start swapping on Dec 15, 20

If you would like to be part of the 2.5" Mini-Charm Swap, here are the guidelines. Please read carefully:

1. Please pm me telling me that you want to enter the swap. In the pm please tell me how many sets you want to do, name and address along with board name. I will then send you a pm giving you my mailing address.


2. We will be swapping sets of 40 2.5" mini-charms. You may send up to 10 sets. Each set that you send to me needs be cut from 40 different fabrics . If you send multiple sets, each package can be the same, just no duplicates within the sets. I will be trading these set for set. I will try to not send duplicate sets. Please be aware that sometimes that is impossible.

3. Please send 100 percent cotton only. Prewash or not prewash is exceptable. Any print is acceptable. Please DO NOT send solids. Squares should be carefully rotary cut from 100% cotton fabric. Fabrics that fray easily, or are fairly easy to see through are not good candidates for this swap.

***Please be advised that fabrics that are not square, squares too wonky or too off grain, squares that are shedding, squares that contain selvages, or those that are not 2.5" square will be returned unswapped. Be accurate in cutting.***

4. Place each set of 40 mini-charms in a zip lock snack size baggie. INCLUDE your name, address, and QB name on a piece of paper and put it inside baggies. Please buy postage or concealed cash put in your envelopes. You just need to give me the correct postage. If postage is not included I will have to wait to send your charms back until you send the correct postage. I will provide flat rate envelopes they cost $5.95 now.

****Outside the US needs to add more postage for it will cost more. I'm sure when you send it you will know what to send. Please send correct amount for I will not ship until correct amount is received.****

5. The last day for me to receive the charms is Dec. 14, 2013. I will post when I receive your charms. If you are sending them from outside the US, please keep this in mind that it sometimes takes weeks for packages to arrive. I will swap the baggies during the week and send out by Dec 21, 2013. Anything received after that will be returned to you.


Remember to send in what you would like to receive back.

Let’s have tons of fun,and of course you have to follow all the basic rules, found here.

I am in! Will send a pm.

Yah!!!! Welcome. You are the first to sign up. I'm hoping that we get lots of people signed up. When we get 10 people signed up, I will start a list.

I will swap 10 sets .

Welcome. Glad you could join us.

Just to clarify, each baggie will have 40 different squares in it, but the baggies can be the same? So each baggie can have one square of fabric 1, one of fabric 2, etc?

Yes. each bag has 40 different fabrics and each bag can be the same. So lets say you are going to do 10 sets. You would get 40 fabrics and cut 10 (2.5") squares of each, then put one of each fabric in each pile. All the sets don't have to be the same though. If you cut your scraps into 2.5" squares you can make each set different if you want, just don't put in any duplicates in the same set. Is that as clear as mud? Lol. I hope this answers your question. If it doesn't feel free to ask anything that is unclear.

I would like to join. 10 sets please.

Great!! Glad you could join us. I have you on my list for 10 sets.

We have 4 people so far has signed up, six more and I will start a list. Hope we get a lot more people that want to join.

Charm sets all cut, bagged and tagged. It will be mailed tomorrow.

Great. I will watch for them.

I just PM'd for 10 Sets. I can hardly wait. Looks like I have just signed myself up for another Christmas gift. :thumbup:

;) Did you realize you only send 40 different fabrics to get 400 different fabric back?

I have you listed for 10 sets. I pm'd you with my address. I'm so glad you joined us.

I know. Isn't it great. Hopefully there will be enough people that wants to continue so we can do a swap at least a few time. Our fabrics will multiply quickly that way. I already have enough fabrics for a couple of swaps cut. I've been bitten by the swap bug!

We have 7 people signed in. Just three more and I can start a list of swappers.

I'm thinking, I'm thinking...need to "dig" and see if I have anything appropriate....No solid colors, right?

That's right. Anything 100% cotton print. No solids. Hope you join us. As sewmany said if you do 10 sets, then you will get 400 different fabrics back. I think that is pretty awesome.

Tone-on-tone will be okay. Right?

Yes, that is fine, just no solids.

I'm in! Thanks for putting this together. Just sent a PM.

So glad I kept up on this thread , I missed the no solids part. I have been sorting mine . What a job , I needed little kids to plat the matching game lol. I posted pics in Rhondas scrap club thread . I hope to get them mailed wednesday or thursday next week .

I went diggin' and found what I was looking for so I'm in - 10 sets. Thank you

Sewmany - I received your charms on Wednesday. Sorry I didn't post earlier, it has been hectic the last couple of days.

I have my squares cut and packaged. I'm ready to play. I love these 2.5 inch squares. There are so many designs you can make with them. I will send a PM.

Welcome. I'm so glad you joined us.

mine are packaged and ready to go. Will be sending today.

My package is in the mail. I hope next time we can swap more than 10 sets. It seems like there was a lot more room in that pack to send more for the same postage.

Mailed today....po said to be on the lookout Wednesday

I sent a pm to you! I want to join in on the fun!
Laurel

Thanks to everybody that has mailed yours out. I will be on the lookout for them.

I actually meant to say that we could trade up to 20 sets and only noticed after I posted it and it was too late to change it. I will probably up it next month. The only thing is if we don't get at least 21 people sign up, we would get duplicates and/or our own back. Which is still a possibility since not everybody swaps the maximum amount. I don't mind getting duplicates, I just know some people prefer not to. Some of the I Spy charms I get from that swap, I actually wished I could have multiples of. Thanks for the suggestion. I like when people get involved and let me know what would make the swap more fun. I figure the more fun and useful, the more people will join.

I am sending you a pm to sign up for 10 sets. I just love swapping thee little charms.

Welcome. So glad you could join us.

Guess I'll just "have" to start cutting again soon! Thanks! Package will be on the way to you today.

Great. I'll keep an eye out for it.

My package went out yesterday.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

I'm done cutting! I never thought I'd be able to do it in time, but put me in for 10 sets! I'll pm you.
