Interested in swapping unique fabric squares, rather than just child-oriented I-Spy fabrics … a fun swap was suggested by choosing a color and swapping fabric squares in that color range, so let’s try something new! Introducing the ….

Hi,
I’m from Canada, please let me know how you would like to handle return postage. I also signed up for the I spy swap so maybe we can combine?
Also, how are you making sure that everyone picks different colors?
Thanks
Alisha
I will continue to post the picked colors above and also on the sign-up form, so hopefully that will keep duplicates to a minium.
I would like to represent orange it is my three year old daughters favorite.
i’m super excited! i haven’t done a charm swap before. i picked aqua. i can’t wait to start shopping!
Lovely idea! I am from Denmark and would love to join :) Plum is my preferred colour.
how fun! I’ve signed up and picked green!
I picked red. I just wanted to confirm that there is no prewash requirement for this particular swap.
What a fun swap idea and think of all the good fabric you get back!! I signed up and chose pink. Thanks for the fun swap!
This sounds really fun. I’ll go for Green if that’s OK. I’ve never seen a swap like this before. Very original idea and just the thing I need to get a much needed creative kick-start for the new year. Thanks!
Now I have ordered most of the fabrics at Hawthorne Threads. I simply LOVE their ‘find fabrics by this or the like colours’-systems. Yay!
I’ve purchased and cut 7 of my 10 fabrics, but I fear that I’ve misunderstood. Are the fabrics to be novelty? (If it weren’t for step #8, I never would’ve caught on.) Two of my fabrics are novelty, the other 5 are just fabrics I really loved.
I would love to do a swap like this if you do one again.
All my squares are cut!
I hope I can get them divided into 20 piles of 10 different kinds of fabric tonight and mail them to Katie by tomorrow. Yaaayyy!
Mine have been cut and packaged for a few days now, but I’m afraid I won’t make it to the post office until tomorrow! Any news on the iSpy swap?
