NOTE: 10"-squares are known as layer cake squares in the quilting world.
This swap involves no sewing (your project is determined by what you want to make with your fabric squares) - only buying fabric and cutting it into 10" squares. Please buy 100% cotton quilting fabric and cut off both selvage edges before cutting squares so there is NO selvage in the 10" squares. (NOTE: The selvages are the two tightly woven edges of the fabric - opposite the folded edge.)
This swap is for 10" squares of Dog- and cat-themed Fabrics. Each person who signs up will send one 10" squares of dog fabric and one 10" square of cat fabric to each of the farm girls who sign up. A yard of fabric will make 12 squares (with a little left over), so the amount of fabric you will need to purchase will depend on how many sign up. Please join in - all are welcome.
Signups begin today: January 24
Signups end: Noon, February 10
Mail out by: February 24
If you have not yet participated in one of these 10"-square fabric swaps, when you sign up by posting in this thread, please immediately send me your name/address/phone. The name/address is so I can send a complete list to each farm girl for mailing out to everyone; the phone number is only in case I need to contact you for any reason.
We have been enjoying these swaps and it is fun seeing all the different fabrics we choose. I hope you will join us.
NOTE: When you join in, please "Subscribe" to this topic so that you will receive all communication regarding the topic. And we all like to hear from you when you send out fabric and when you receive fabric. And please post pics of what you make in the Showcase thread. You can go to the "Showcase" thread for using this link. http://maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=73817

There are "library cats" and "library kittens". The kittens were the the ones I sent if anyone is interested. Yes, Library Cats was sold out when I first went to look for them. Just fyi.

It is still amazing to me that we all shop for fabrics, and have so few repeats. Who would have thought there were such different choices out there. I love yours, Jana, they were in my mail box today. Thank you.

Thank you!! I saw those at a local quilt shop, they always have some quirky fabric. I have a friend who really loves cats so I might have to save some of the cat fabric for her. My sister has a mischievous black dog, who likes to surf counters and take boxes out of the recycling and put them on his bed. He has bad separation anxiety, he was a stray. He walks really well on a leash, he just doesn't like other dogs, unfortunately.
If someone does not get the squares from me let me know I have more fabric.

Denise I love your scruffy alley cats, they are funny. I also like your little black pooches hanging out near those fire hydrants, perhaps they were told not to hike a leg, until the artist finished. LOL. You did great. Thank you.

Both the Library cats and Theater Cats fabrics must be really popular - they are both out of stock on fabric.com. LOL!

I have bought stuff from them for several years. It usually comes very quickly and as ordered. That is where Joyce has ordered her fabrics for the swaps because they send it to me to help her out.

LOVE DOGS and CATS!! A favorite swap!!
I have received awesome fabrics... just wanted to give a shout out to our senders.
Rebecca---- Love the "theatre" and the "hounds"
-- Judith-- Oh yes! The perfect place for cats ( my library would have a big Sunning window ( when I win the lottery) ha ha
And the well dressed pups :-)
SHerry--- love the Dachie on the envelope..Did you draw him? Nice. The pups were perfect..fun!! And the Kat Daily Planet- great news. Wonder if they know Clark Kent.
----Lori --- the pups are precious and kitties in the garden chasing butterflies and playing so cute
Rebecca --- the Colorful pups were great. If I were to design same dogs and cats, I'd do the dogs and tie-dye cats. The cat fabric spot on!
--- Karen-- The Tag was soo fun. Thank you. Precious nostalgic baby kitties and the dog fabric over the top FUN!!
Beverly -- Aww.. sleeping kitties! And Perfect Pups -- it's hard to tell if the Sheep Dog getting a bath is happy..LOL!
Other fabrics are mingling with cat fabric in my sewing room now..
so a shout out to Rita, Darlene, Linda, and Marilyn!!
If I missed anyone's name I apologize. You fabric is in The room, but your envelope with your name likely misplaced
Did I Mention this was a favorite swap!!! Yeah! Thank you all!
Mary
