Crazy Quilt Favorite Colors Swap
Swap Hostess: Alisa McDonald
Let's share our favorite colors! My idea is that we would swap coordinated baggies made up of our favorite color and everybody ends up with a "rainbow" of baggies. If you have any questions at all, please ask! If you're interested, please email me privately.

Favorite Colors Swap Guidlines
Each envelope must reach me by June 30. I suggest you make a note and mail them out on the 23rd. That will give the post office plenty of time to get them here. Some times it takes 7 days for a priority envelope to get here. If you are out of state, please mail ASAP!
You may send up to 15 baggies. Each baggie must have a slip of paper that has your name, address, and email address. I also recommend you put my address on the outside of each baggie (just in case your package gets opened).
POSTAGE: I suggest using the Priority Mail packages at the post office. I recommend the flexible paper ones. The paper ones hold more and are easier to stuff! Make sure you put the return postage on the envelope you address to yourself inside.
FOR SWAPPERS OUTSIDE U.S. & CANADA: Please contact me separately. (We'll work something out.)
BAGGY CONTENTS: This a coordinated swap. Each baggie should have 12 inch square worth of fabric, 2 yards of thread, and 2 trims. (See below for details.)
1. Material: Equal to one 12 inch square. Fabric should be in your favorite color. Prints are fine as long as the main color is your "theme color". Cotton or fancy fabric is fine.
2. Threads: 2 yards long. Coordinated with the material you send. DMC is OK.
3. Trims: Pick TWO of these:
a. 24 seed beads (this could be multiple colors, as long as it coordinates). Larger beads, send your discretion for quantity.
b. Motifs: Machine embroidery, silk ribbon embroidery, crochet, or material with a transfer on it, etc.
c. Laces: If you send lace that is smaller than ½ inch, please make it be at least 7 inches long. Bigger lace, then 4 inches is fair.
d. Buttons: It doesn't matter what it's made out of as long as it's a nice quality and coordinates with the material. The size of a regular shirt button, then 6 is fair. Larger buttons, send your discretion for quantity.
e. Charms: 2 or so would be good.
f. Ribbon: Smaller than ½ inch, then 1 to 2 yards is fair. A wider ribbon, half a yard is about right.
Have fun! :)
