Spring 1.5" Squares Swap- Sign up deadline is 6/1/12
 

This swap is for 1.5" squares (postage stamps) in sets of 50 different 100% cotton fabrics. Please send what you would like to receive. Limit is 20 sets per swapper.

*Please send me a PM to sign up, and let me know how many sets you'd like to swap.

*Please use quality 100% cottons only! NO flannels. If in doubt of fiber content, please leave it out!

*All sets do not need to be identical. You can use what is in your stash! :)

*Please MAKE SURE to trim off selvages before cutting your squares. Also try to be accurate in your cutting of the squares, so they DO measure 1.5".

*Please double check that your sets have 50 (or more) squares in them! We don't want to short change anyone :)

*It seems to work best to put the squares into small, snack size baggies. Be sure to label each baggie with your name, board name, etc.

Sign-ups close June 1st, 2012. Sets are due to me by June 15th. I will swap them out, and get them in the mail no later than June 30th.

Please include a SASE with adequate postage on it for me to send your return sets. An extra stamp or two wouldn't hurt. Our packages are "bulky" and get considered a "parcel"-per my Post Office. They charge more for that.
NO pre-paid printed labels!
If your sets cost more than what you sent in, I have no choice to hold them until I get the difference. In the last swap, I had several that were "over". It all adds up. Thanks for your understanding. :)

Please feel free to mail your sets early, if you wish.

Stamp Swap
 

I am in again! Thank you!

Yeah. Been waiting for this. I will send you a PM. Thanks for hosting this.

Can I change mine to 20 sets? Didn't take long to cut 4 sets. I sent a PM but have not heard back yet so am hoping it's not too late to change.

Thanks,

Hi Linda- 20 sets will be fine! :)

Thanks Mariposa. Can you PM with your address so I can mail when I finish cutting. I know it is early but I will be away most of May. Thanks so much.

Linda- done! :)

I'm in again! Put me down for 20 sets. Thanks!

booklady- I have you on the list! :)

When you say 20 sets does that mean 20 X 50 1 1/2 inch square??????? I would like to do this but I think I can only do maybe 4 sets of 50 squares.

urgodschild2-- yes, it means 20 sets of 50 different fabrics. It may be easier if you just cut 1.5" strips off of your fabric, then cut the strips into squares. You can get at least 20 squares from one strip. :)

1 down and 19 to go! :thumbup:

Yay! progress is being made! :)

Oh in that case then I could do 20 sets too. I will have fun with this one. So sign me up for 20 sets.
BUT I can't cut mine and send them until I get home from Australia on May 4th. But I will do them and send them off. Yeah.

I thought I had pre-cut a bunch of stamps in anticipation of another swap. Now they are no where to be found. Guess I'd better cut a little faster!

Twisted-- happens to all of us! ;)

I hope I'm not too late! I'll PM you RIGHT NOW!!! :)

Hi bepositive-- you are not too late! ;)

Mailed my 20 sets today. Hope they arrive in a timely manner to you. Let me know.

sustraley- I'll be watching for them!

SO I am new to swaps. If I want to do 20 sets do all of the sets have to contain different fabrics or can I cut 1 1/2 inch strips and send 20 sets of 50 that contain the same fabrics in each bag? DOes this make sense?

meanmom--you can cut the 1.5" strips, and do the 20 sets of 50 pieces. :)

I'm in for 20 sets. Sounds fun.

It figures...As soon as I finished cutting my squares I find the one's I had already cut. Guess I'm ready for the next swap. :)

I am in for sure!

Twisted-- funny how that happens, huh-? :)

raedar-- I have you on the list! :)
