That is not the intention of this swap. Getting a package of old fabric or magazines is not what most want to receive. If you have questions on what to send, go to a past swap and look at the pictures.
As the rules say, send like-new or new. No one wants to receive stained or holey items. Please do not send this type of fabric. Additionally, unless your secret pal asked for a different type of fabric than quilting cotton, please only send 100 percent cotton fabric.
If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a PM. I know I have not been around much, but as I get stronger, I am going to be around more.
Thank you,
Kathy
thank you for bringing this up Kathy. I can definitely tell when my secret pal has put together a package with me in mind and when they have just used the swap as a way to get rid of unwanted old things. It sure feels a lot better when my secret pal reads my preferences and tries to get me things I will like, so that’s what I do.
case in point, my secret pal this month not only got my most wanted item, she also bought me some of my favorite kinds and colors of fabric! It was such a thoughtful package. Thanks Bugaroo!!
