Crazy Quilt Nature Swap
Swap Hostess: Janice-Marie McDonald
This is a swap to trade fabric and embellishments with a Nature theme.
GUIDELINES:
You may send up to 15 baggies.
BAGGY CONTENTS: Each baggie should have the equivalent of a 12 x 12 inch
piece of fabric and 3 different embellishments.
1. Material:
Equal to one 12 inch square. This can be two 6 by 12 inch pieces, or four 6 inch pieces, or one 12 inch piece, etc. You should send prints with a nature theme (flowers, fish, trees, animals, stones, etc.). You may also send fabric that would coordinate with the theme (sky, earth, ocean colors, etc.) Please, no pre-fab scenery. (natural fibers preferred, but not required)
2. Embellishments:
Threads: 2-3 yards of thread, yarn, string raffia; any natural fiber that can be sewn or couched down.
Beads: 2-12 depending on their size. (If you send seed beads, please be generous.) (You may actually send seeds if they are usable for crazy quilting)
Motifs: Machine embroidery, silk ribbon embroidery, or material with a transfer on it, crochet, tatting etc. Motifs must reflect the nature theme. Buttons: 1-6 depending on the size. They must reflect the nature theme. Charms: 1-3 depending on the size. e.g. butterflies, fish, animals, bear fetishes, etc.
Natural Objects: stones, shells, feathers, twigs, etc.
Misc: Drawings, designs, patterns, stitching instructions related to nature.
The items in the baggies do not have to coordinate with each other. After all, in the natural world we're all mixed up together!
Sign up by emailing me by September 15, 1998
Deadline for mailing to me is October 1, 1998.
I will try to get the packages mailed back by October 10, 1998. Please remember that this is the first time that I am hosting a swap. (And I am doing two at the same time!)
You may send up to 15 baggies. Each baggie must have a slip of paper that has your name, address, and email address. Place them in one LARGE baggie with my name and address on the outside (just in case your package gets opened). (Let's remember to recycle those baggies!)
POSTAGE: Get two mailers and put the same amount of postage on BOTH envelopes. Address one to yourself and place it inside the other envelope along with your baggies. Swappers from outside of the US please contact me about shipping arrangements.
I will send you my address when you e-mail me to sign up.
If you e-mail me when you send your package out, I will notify you when I receive the package.
I think this should be a lot of fun.
