That is what I am doing also is looking for things on clearance hopefully at 75% off or more. This was my first swap so I am in the process of collecting things for future swaps. I no longer have a fabric stash so I do have to purchase fabric for the swaps but I look for end of bolt specials or precentage off remnants. Other things I watch for on sale and I am in the process of handmaking things now for swaps. All of this goes in a large box and when it's time I will just go "shopping" in my box.

Some thing I do is watch for 50% off sales and stock up on the basic "quilters stash specials" and keep a few on hand for swaps. If you have a dollar tree or everything is a dollar stores. keep checking in they are always getting cute things that make $10.00 go a long way. Plus anything that come from "my stash" I feel is a freebee since it just makes room for more for me. Just my way of making the limit stretch. . . . .
