I wouldn't mind it and since it is supposed to be an International Swap I would think something from Canada would be nice. I haven't seen anything like that here in Fl. It's fun to get different just my opinion. Sue

I bet the same is true for the new england area when it comes to the ocean/beach prints. I could not find any here. So I think just sending in material you find locally is great and if it has to do with whatever is popular in your neck of the woods that's even better.:) Just have FUN!

You can count me in...I am in the Uk and will try and find something that represents the Uk...not sure the fabric will be made in the UK...I can only think of Makower..and I think that is readily available in the US...but I do have some fabrics that I bought in Austria, Germany and Spain that I would be happy to send too.....sounds fun....but someone will have to remind me when to send.
