Who Would Like to Swap 5" I Spy Squares?
 

Our I Spy swap has been 'dormant' for several months... but I thought I would post to see if there is interest in doing the swap again. This is not a sign up thread, lets call it a "commitment" thread. Those who would definitely join the swap need to post here, and if we have at least 10 people committed to swapping I will ask the moderators for permission to run the swap again. THEN I will post the sign up thread.

The details: You will be sending in ten baggies with ten 5" squares in each... all different within each bag but your bags can have the same 10 fabrics in each, or you can use up what you have in your stash and mix and match. Just no repeats in the same bag.

If you have played before, try to send in different fabrics this time-- good quality novelty fabrics suitable for children. You also need to include $6 for return postage to you.

So... who's in this time? Lets have some fun with I Spys again...

I would totally be in! I have missed this!

The I Spy swaps are great! I would totally be on board if your deadline was in March, since I will be away from home most of February.

I'd be in! :thumbup:

Sounds like fun, hope we get approval!

Count me in if you do again. I just purchased six new fabrics last week.

How far into March, Kele?

Would this be a one-time commitment?

I would like to do this swap.

Yes... just like always, you'd be signing up for just one swap session.

It looks like we will probably have enough to play. We need ten not to have anyone get back duplicates. I'll figure out the dates and run it past the moderators for approval. In the meantime, anyone who wants to be contacted when the sign ups open, keep posting here and let me know you want to join. In the past we had lots of fun with this swap.

One thing... I think I said the postage would be $6. The USPS just raised all the priority rates (!) so the price for the padded flat rate envelope i use is now $6.80! Prices went up yesterday, the 17th.

This sounds interesting. I would be interested in signing up for this sewbizgirl...:)Barb

Could you explain this again is it just a 5" square 10 different ones to 10 people??

Please keep me on list to inform about sign-up.

I would be interested in this swap.

Wow! USPS took a big jump in postage. This is still the best way to gather "I Spy" fabrics. Even big kids love them!

I would love to join. What do I need to do?

I will join!

You will collect at least 10 different I Spy fabrics, and cut your squares. Then package one square each of the the ten fabrics in a baggie. So... ten different squares per bag. I'm thinking of making the numbers where you can choose to swap either 8 or 16 bags. So you'd make either 8 or 16 bags of ten different squares. Then you send them all to me and I swap them and send everyone back a package of I Spy goodness.

Do you have a theme for this one or anything goes?

No special theme, just any objects suitable for children will do. In the past we have done themed "twists" (side swaps) along with the main swap, but it makes it more complicated and usually not that many participate in the twist. So no twist this time. Since we haven't had an I Spy swap in a while, it's wide open to all great I Spy fabrics.

I've sent a proposal to PatriceJ and am waiting for approval. Will post a sign up then.

Count me in!

Found all kinds of I Spy fabric & some to fussy cut, too. I need to bust up that stash! Waiting for sign ups!
hugs,

The sign up page is UP! So lets all move over there...
