INTERNATIONAL!!!

Since postage will be pretty cheap to send these charms, I would like to invite our international friends to join in the fun:)))

This is R3 of a year long series of swaps which will have a different theme each month. The color for this month is Turquoise & Brown and/or Pink & Brown, so you will be sending print charms (no solids) to your partners in either of these color combinations.

You will send 10 6" 100% cotton fabric charms (no more than 2 alike) to 2 partners, so you will be sending a total of 20 charms. All charms must be of some kind of print, tone-on-tone, marble, etc......NO SOLIDS ALLOWED!!!

6" charms are just the right size for making dotee dolls, piecing together to make quilts, or can be cut into smaller sizes for postage stamp quilts, turnovers, honey buns, inchies or any craft you use small pieces of fabric for. The charms you send can be any kind of print....stripes, polka dots, floral, marbles, etc., but no solids please and no more that 2 charms alike to each partner. Also, only send good quality fabric! I am not going to say that you have to send quilt quality fabric, but just make sure that the fabric you send is good quality and not so thin you can read the paper through it. Use a rotary cutter to cut your charms and measure accurately. We don't want anyone getting 5 1/2" or raggedy cut charms now do we??? Any extras you choose to send is entirely up to you:))

Here are the color themes we will be swapping for the remainder of this series:

  • R4 January - Blue
  • R5 February - Red
  • R6 March - Black & White
  • R7 April - Yellow
  • R8 May- Pink
  • R9 June- White on White
  • R10 July - Red/white/blue
  • R11 August - Burgundy
  • R12 September - Neutrals

Newbies are welcome with a fully filled out profile. Seasoned swappers must have atleast a 4.9 rating with no 1 ratings within the past 6 months and no unexplained 3s. If you have acquired any 3s in the past you MUST have an explanation stated on your profile telling why you acquired the 3 rating(s). Anyone who flakes in any of these swaps will NEVER be welcome to participate in any of my swaps again and I will shout it from the highest mountain top!!! I will be more than happy to angel for anyone who happens to get flaked on....fair enough???

Hello there, I'm new here but really interested in this swap. Can I just ask a question, if i do this round do I have to do them all or can i just do a couple as I want? Cheers.x

I'm a newbie, but I have a filled-out profile....I'm just watching for now, and hopefully there will be some more people in the swap....I love pink and brown and turquoise and brown!

Welcome Keaniebean:)) No, you definately do not have to join all these swaps. Just pick and choose which ones you want to join:)))

With 9 folks watching, we should have several join....hopefully??? These swaps have been going very well, so looking forward to another good round:)

i am in the middle of relocating across Canada.....but really don't want to miss any of these...i am hoping you will let me join and if I am late getting them to my partner i will apologize ahead of time .....i promise to send them just may be a little delayed....

if that is okay (i love turquoise, though not a big fan of brown, and don't want to miss this month)

@debe ....as long as you won't be extremely late (just a few days or so) and you keep in touch with your partners to let them know what's going on, everything will be fine:))) Hope to have you join in to swap with us:)))

If you move and your address changes in the middle of the swap, just be sure to send your new addy to your partners who will be sending to you!

Hi, I'm new to swap-bot and online swaps. I would like to try this swap and see how it goes. I enjoy receiving things in the mail so I imagine others do too. It will give me an excuse to either use up some of my stash or add to it, depends on my mood. :) Please let me know. Thanks!
