Do you have a Paypal account, as this would be the cheapest option for you. An international cheque is expensive, when I was working in the Bank I think it was $30, which would be way more than the postage. I have purchased US Dollars at the Bank to send overseas but again it is expensive with the Bank costs.
Hope this helps

Carsey does have Paypal which would resolve some of the issues.

Wow! There are over 100 swappers! I had hoped to send a fat quarter for each swapper, but that is not going to happen. I can't imagine the postage on all that yardage!
So - if I am at my limit of swaps, do I send them before January, or wait until the end date to send the FQs?
Carsey, it looks like you will be inundated with fabric! Are you going to need help to get it all back in the mail?

Take a picture, she might be up to her eyeballs in fat quarters. She may not be able to snap the pic. Hehehehe

Okay, I stopped at my favorite LQS today and they had some great fabrics that I think represent my area = Southern California.
So I am in!!
When do you want them mailed? - I may hold off a bit to see if I find some more - but I also don't want to forget about them.

Cheers
I am happy to 'gift' some fabric but the amount would depend on costs etc.
