How about another fabric swap! The last two I-Spy Swaps were pretty successful, and covered several countries and plenty of US states! And swappers have been asking for another round, so I’m hoping for a good #3 :)

Now before I get all crazy with the guidelines, dates, and sign-ups, let me ask you what you want.

1. Shall we do another I-Spy fabric swap with child-oriented fabrics, or switch things up for a designer fabric square swap, like a charm pack?

2. Shall we do this before or after the holidays?

If interested, please leave a comment with answers so I can get a majority vote. Thanks!

Through my Flickr swapping friends, I came across a modern swap and signed up. This swap is intended for online Flickr friends with a passion for sewing and like-minded fabrics who swap for a fabulous home dec items! It was another secret swap, and there were a lot of guidelines to follow, especially with fabric choices. My partner was from the UK and gave me a few hints on items she’d like to receive. A few on her list included an apron, pincushion, basket, and the color burgundy … plus I added a few fabric postcards.

And for me? Oh. Wow. Jewel’s Arm Candy sent me the most fabulous package!! … The photo below does not do any justice to seeing the fabulousness in person.

The sewing machine cover is SO cute and matches my sewing room theme perfectly – and I’m in love with the fat birdies. Talking about birdies, “Pudge” sits and watches me sew away … Yes, the owl is named Pudge :) And the glamorous purse adorned with wooden handles … and in my favorite colors. Now I can say I finally own a purse … and a custom made one at that! And if that wasn’t enough, a whole series of designer fabrics are now all mine … all MINE!
