This is the category where I hope you'll be creative!

Check out your partner's profile for ideas.

Here are the nitty gritty details:

You must have completed and been rated for ten or more type 3 swaps. If you have received a three within the last 4 months, or have unresolved 1's sorry, you're out. I reserve the right to bump out questionable swappers.

All participants must be 18 years of age or older.

All FQs must be 100% quilting quality cotton, clean and unused. Please send fabric that you would be proud to swap with your best sewing buddy and not fabric that you know that you would throw in the trash if you didn't feel so guilty. Same goes for everything else. If you don't want to get junk, don't send it!

If you don't have the time or money to assemble and mail your swap ( $10 tops assuming you don't have to buy everything ) then please don't sign up.

If on the other hand, this sounds like fun and you'd like to share your stash and can't wait to open your goodies, welcome aboard!

Please sign up and then post here to introduce yourself and your color preference.
