Serious stash swap... It's Christmas Again

Queen V you have done it again. This was a fantastic idea. Sharon sent my bundle of joy. It was Christmas all over again ... As I tore into the box to be treated by these lovelies. Sharon I hope you truly enjoy yours as much as I. Many of the fabrics I don't own, and don't have those colors anymore. (taupes and light blues) This is a treat. Now I must refrain from cutting them up tonight... Into heavens knows what. I shall let them sit a spell so I can let the ideas flow. They will not be put away, since I am on a fabric diet for a couple months... These shall represent a purchase.

Toni's 20 fat quarters

I didn't waste a minute, and dove straight into cutting fat quarters for my partner, Toni, today... I had SOOO Much fun picking out fabrics to SHARE with her!  Toni, these are going in the mail Wednesday for you... I had to manipulate the image a bit so you have SOME SURPRISE when you open your package of FAT QUARTERS!!!

But try to keep your options OPEN.

The idea is that you will get fabrics you don't buy yourself, 

so please don't include a laundry list of specifics... be open to receiving new and different fabrics.

You are to cut 20 fat quarters for your partner. They will also cut 20 fat quarters for you.

please mail them BY JANUARY 9th to your partner.

If you have large scraps of something you think they will like, please ask if they are OK with receiving BITS instead of one piece...  please communicate with each other... and  make this an even-steven swap!

GIVE NICE FABRICS!! This is NOT a place to get rid of all the fabrics you think are UGLY. 

Send things you'd like to receive!

Once you receive your fabrics, feel free to post the goods!  Have fun!

THREE!

SERIOUS STASH SWAP!!!!

After spending time with LeeAnn this past week, and her stash!!

(Did I say how much fun it is to visit someone else's stash?)

I'd like to put together a Serious STASH swap.

 I'm thinking 20 FAT QUARTERS from each. ( or more?)

I prefer to keep this swap to FAT quarters or larger,  instead of random scraps so 

  we can all make out own scraps!

To boost our stash with fabrics we would have never thought to buy.

(I can match you up, and you can be in contact with each other about likes and dislikes etc... )

This does NOT mean, handing overall your uglies to someone else,

this would be to share favorites, of fabrics you've had and it's time to let 

someone else share in their beauty as well...

Shoot me your thoughts on the swap and if you want in... Doesn't have to happen quickly.. 

we can say for the end of January...but plan it now... 

DIRECTIONS: 

If you want in, make sure you  

email me your name and address, 

and if you will ship international.

Please include all the info even if you think I already have it...

his saves me a load of time...

bumblebeansinc at gmail dot com

I will leave this open til Sunday night, Dec 4th, 6pm

** You do not need to be a posting member of the site, ANYONE can be a part of the swap.
Specific details can be arranged with your swap partner after I match you up. ( size cuts of fabric etc)

PLEASE EMAIL ME YOUR INFO as listed above....
