Autumn 2016 Postage Stamp (PS) Squares Swap-Sign ups close 9/15/16
 
This swap is for 1.5" squares in sets of 50 different 100% cottons. (One set = 1 each of 50 fabrics). Please send what you'd be happy to receive. Limit of 20 sets per swapper.

*Please send me a PM to sign up.

*Please use quality 100% quilting cottons only. No flannel, homespun, blends, etc. If in doubt of fiber content, leave it out.

*All sets do not need to be identical. Dig into your stash. :)

*Do make sure to trim off selvages before cutting your squares. Also try to be accurate in your cutting.

*Please double check that your sets have at least 50 DIFFERENT fabric squares in each. We don't want to short change anyone.

*It works great to put squares sets in small snack size baggies. Be sure tolabel each baggie with your name, board name, etc.

*Sign-ups close Sept. 15th, 2016. Sets are due in my hands by Sept. 27th, 2016. I will swap them, and get them in the mail soon after.

*For return postage, send in $6.80 in cash, stamps, or a USPS money order for a padded flat rate envelope. I can supply these for you.

*Any questions, or comments, please send me a PM

*General swap rules are here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm

djmat 08-16-2016 07:35 PM

Oh, new stash, too!

Evie 08-17-2016 03:45 PM

Well, you know I'm in! Will send PM.

Mariposa 08-18-2016 06:39 PM

Nice start here! Hoping more join in!:)

djmat 08-22-2016 10:27 AM

I have 60 new fabrics. I prefer to cut for 1.5" swaps then 2.5" swaps so that I do not send duplicates to same size swaps. What fabric remains is stored to use in my own projects. Looking forward to more participants in this swap to share my stash with!
hugs,
dj

Mariposa 08-22-2016 03:52 PM

dj- sounds like you have a good system going for cutting for your swaps! :)

booklady 08-24-2016 05:14 AM

Mariposa 08-25-2016 07:26 PM

djmat 08-28-2016 09:03 PM

I love the idea of postage stamp swaps, but 1.5" is too small for me. I'm working on a scrappy double Irish chain with 2" squares right now. Is there any way in the future to organize a swap including this size? I would be really interested:)

djmat 09-03-2016 07:59 AM

I have yet to see a 2" swap on this board. I love 2"ers, also. Wonder what the postage to you would be for 500 squares with no repeats?
hugs,
dj

djmat 09-06-2016 07:28 AM

Hey, Mariposa, where are the participants???? I still haven't begun to cut until at least 10 sign up.
Hopping around on one foot hoping more sign up. Let's try to keep this thread on Page 1 so others will see it & SIGN UP, please!!!!
sisterly hugs,
dj

booklady 09-07-2016 05:47 AM

Sheri, yes please do join us! :) Happy to have you along!

Mariposa 09-19-2016 08:42 PM

Ok ladies---we have a whopping 6 of us playing. Some of you have already mailed. I will post when I have received your packages. :)

Evie 09-20-2016 06:47 AM

I'll be sending only 10 sets. I don't mind duplicates or getting mine returned. Wonder what happened to all our previous swappers? :(

Mariposa 09-20-2016 07:59 PM

Ladies, if you haven't mailed yet, I'm sure a SASE for your squares would be fine. :)

Several other folks have had other things going, and chose not to play. Hopefully next time!

djmat 09-21-2016 09:16 PM

So how many swappers are swapping in this swap now?
