EB Charm Square Fabric Swap 2010
What it is?
A swap of 40 charm squares and/or charm squares size cuts of fabrics from your stash. You need to put together 40 squares to be swapped and in return you will receive 40 different squares to the ones you sent.
**NOTE: If you would like to send less than 40 squares that is fine, whatever number you send through is the same number you will receive back.**
What to do?
Go through your fabric stash and find any charm squares (singles/packs) that you don't want/don't think you will use AND/OR cut out charm square size (5 inch x 5 inch) pieces of all sorts of different coloured/patterned fabrics (no plains) of cotton/quilters cotton. Once you have your 40 squares, send them together with a prepaid self-addressed (back to you!) 500gram bag (and registered post label which you can now pre-purchase from the post office for $2.80 if you would like your parcel sent back registered).
Then I will go through all the charm squares once received from everyone and post you back 40 charm squares of different fabrics that you didn't send me (as long as we don't all send in the same, lol!). So you will get a mix of 40 different squares (i'll do my best at co-ordinating sets of fabrics that go together if people like?).
Then when everyone has received maybe we could have a challenge of making something for ourselves with our new fabrics at some stage in the year?
