New and wanting to do swaps.
 

Ok so I am new to quilting. I would like to swap but would rather swap fabric right now as I don't want to send something not up to par. Are their any fat quarter swaps? Or fat eight swaps? I am trying to improve my stash of fabric.

Hey mama may welcome to the quilt board.
Try the secret pal swap, it's alot of fun.
Also the doll quilt swap is alot of fun and is open to all.
brenda has a fat quarter swap...... join us!

Just saying welcome; I don't do swaps

Start watching next week... sign up for the Secret Pal swap else there is usually a 6 1/2" fabric block swap. Sign ups for the 10 1/2" neutral cake block is going on right now. There is also a FQ swap to watch for.

Hi and welcome, you can also browse the swaps that are invthe process now, alot of them we do seasonal, or holiday.

Welcome to the board. Watch the Swap area for monthly Fat Quarter swaps. November is already in motion but December and onward will be coming up. I sure enjoy those little packages of fabric that come to me each month that I choose to participate. You can give it and try and if one month is particularly busy for you, you can skip that month. It is month by month and not a year long commitment. The announcement will be made by brenda21. Again, welcome and enjoy the community of quilters on the board.

Hi there and welcome. You are in for such a wonderful time. I too was in your position just about a year ago. I started with the fq swap and then decided to try the secret pal. Once I did that one I was addicted to it. It is so much fun. Dont worry about things not being up to par. Everyone here is so great and really accepting of newbies. You should see some of the creations I made at first, like Edna the Elephant. I worried about it not being as good as most but everyone loved her especially her new owner. That is what the swaps are for to learn and mostly to have fun. I have made tons of new friends and received gifts that blow my mind. Just check out the post often for the new swaps and enjoy. You will find the ones that fit your likes and niches and love it as all of us do.

Love the secret pal swap...it will be open to sign up at the end of the month. It is a once a month swap and sooooo much fun...we send fat quarters, fat 1/8, scraps, new and old magazines...so much fun. Go look at the one for November and you can see what people are receiving...it is just so exciting to wait for your package and to hear what your secret pal thought about what you sent. It is run by Lori Peercy and she is awesome!

Hiya MamaMay, Brenda21 does the fatquarter swap every month i have been doing it for the last few months and have been really enjoying it, quite a few particiate an I just love the variety a fat quarters i get, i'm new to quilting so this has helped me get a little stash built up, i usually have two partners a month but you can do only one if you want. I have really enjoyed it. Send a pm to Brenda21 for her to include you for the December swap, she will be sending out the notice soon, it is a quick swap since it's just fat quarters. Welcome and enjoy!!

MamaMay, I was looking at your profile. I know another lady who is in Junction City and who quilts. If you want, PM me and I will get you her name. Her husband is with the EOD unit there.

Hello from California: just joined today and interested in a Row Round Robin. I see the threads but it looks like they all started in September, right? Any chance there will some starting in the first quarter of 2013? If not, I'll just wait until next Fall. It's not like I don't have any other projects. :)

I participated in a Border Round Robin a couple of years ago and loved it. I am very pleased with the final result and have it hanging in my Sewing Room.

Thanks.

I don't know about another Round/Row robin, but I do know that the Boomerrang 9.0 should be starting signups in January. In that swap, you send each member in your group an F8 and they make a block with it (adding their own fabrics). And then they all send you F8s, too. I just did my first one this fall (it's just about to end soon). If you see the threads called Boomerang 8.0 - Diamonds, Sapphires, etc - go check them out and see if that's up your alley!

Thanks for the reply! I will go check out the Boomerrang thread. Have a great weekend.
