I am looking to start a 5" I Spy charm swap, looking for 40 members to submit 40 squares of 3 different quilt quality fabrics.

In your packet you will enclose:
1. 40 squares each of 3 fabrics (washed, ironed and in zip lock bags for safe transportation), INCLUDE your screen name on your package, thank you.
2. Self addressed stamped envelope for return of your squares. (if doing more than one set the Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box accomodates 2 sets and ships for $4.95)

I would like to receive all packages by February 15th and will sort and mail out squares by March 1st. Please PM me your address so I can add you to the list and send you my mailing address.

I will set up a database of interested members and try to keep the swapping going if there is enough interest. Happy quilting everyone.

I have question for the "repeat offenders"

If you already participated in the other swap(s), are you planning to get different fabric to extend the selection?
If most of the patterns will be new, I'd like to participate again.

sdparent 12-10-2009 01:50 PM

I am planning on something new and exciting. I'm not sure what yet but something fun. I hope everyone gets creative.

I'm doing all new fabrics. Already been looking online.

bearisgray 12-10-2009 02:12 PM

I will be sending different fabrics from the ones I sent before.

bearisgray 12-10-2009 02:25 PM

I figure if we do enough swaps, I'll eventually be able to sort them into "topics" :)

sharon b 12-10-2009 03:31 PM

I did both other swaps and will be doing this one. I will go shopping for fabric on Saturday at Joannes , so it should be something different . I just buy it a yard at a time for each swap as it comes up.

sdparent 12-10-2009 03:41 PM

Everyone so far has indicated that they are looking for more variety. I just ordered my fabrics all different from what I did before or ones that were in the swap. Have fun shopping.

MadeinMaine 12-10-2009 05:04 PM

I'd like to join again, too, please (one set).

bearisgray 12-10-2009 05:13 PM

I'm trying to cut my squares. My cat seems to think it's his job to hold the fabric down - where I'm trying to cut! :)

Chele 12-10-2009 06:08 PM

Can you put me down for two? I have a good friend on board who will be playing with us. Thanks for doing this again sdparent!

Pzazz 12-10-2009 08:13 PM

Count me in. Put me down for two sets, please. Mine will be different as well. It's fun looking for fabrics that might be different enough that no one else will already have chosen them.

burnsk 12-10-2009 08:15 PM

Sign me up for 2. Got some new fabrics (washed and ironed) and looking for 3 more new ones. This is so much fun and I love the variety.

amma 12-10-2009 08:49 PM

I will be buying different fabrics this go round too!!! I have 12 or 13 of these quilts on my list so duplicates aren't a problem for me :D:D:D

It was awesome how few duplicates there have been in the last swaps8-)8-)8-)

The little bees sure were popular. Interesting how different we all are, and yet - we fit together.

Fabricmom 12-10-2009 10:08 PM

Add me down for one set please.

sdparent 12-11-2009 03:58 AM

We are about 1/2 way there already, wow. I guess the demand was there. I have ordered my fabric and it is different from everything we had before, I only wish the pickles fabric that I got in my remnant box had been enough for the swap, I only had enough for 1/2. It is amazing to me to see how many different fabrics there are out there. I can't wait to start opening your packages again, it will be a fabric christmas.

youme 12-11-2009 04:09 AM

count me in, Sandi.
What can I do with the shipping charge? Can I pay you through paypal?

STAR 12-11-2009 04:13 AM

OK I am in again for one set, Thanx

sdparent 12-11-2009 04:13 AM

You can definitely pay me through paypal not a problem. I look foward to seeing your squares.

thank you. m(_ _)m

collettakay 12-11-2009 04:50 AM

Please put me down for one set.

dakotamaid 12-11-2009 05:27 AM

Will this be children's fabrics or any fabric?

bearisgray 12-11-2009 05:43 AM

In my opinion, I Spy fabrics usually have something that can be named on them - butterflies, trucks, food, balloons, animals, etc.

They may be "kiddy" or "cartoonish" or "realistic" -

It started with a game "I Spy . . . a little blue bird - can you find it?" Of course, the child seemed to be able to find a different one than the one I was looking at, but that was okay. Then it was the child's turn to make the adult find something.

dakotamaid 12-11-2009 05:45 AM

Count me in! One set.

Happy Holidays

STAR 12-11-2009 05:47 AM

I really liked the variety of all the fabrics. some could be used for a child where as others could be used for me!!

sdparent 12-11-2009 06:04 AM

I think I have sent PMs to all who have expressed interest in the swap, if I missed you I am sorry please send me a message so I can get you my info, Thank You! We only have about 15 slots left.

sdparent 12-11-2009 06:05 AM

I agree with bearis.
