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 do not include any selvages in the 10" squares.
This is a new swap for 10" squares of Boy-themed Fabrics. Each person who signs up will receive 2 different 10" squares of Boy-themed fabric from each of the other farm girls who sign up. A yard of fabric will make 12 squares, so the amount of fabric you need to purchase will depend on how many sign up.
Signups begin today: March 1
Signups end: Noon, March 16
Mail out by: March 31
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 swapper; the phone number is 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: Next month the 10" fabric squares swap will be for Girls Fabrics.

Wade did that too. He also had a lot of deep sand to scoop up and haul. Julie thought it was neat but needs paint. Wade, who does not like antiques was glad to have it, and said No to her idea of a paint job.

My son had one of those large Tonka dump trucks. He would sit on the bed of it and push with his feet. LOL!

I saved my envelopes to open, I've been too busy and wanted to have the time to open and appreciate them. The fabrics are so different and so cute. I and pressing them and then they will go in a special place in my stash until I some day, maybe have a grandchild.... Or I decide to make something special to give away. There is enough to make a couple of small boy quilts.
My fabric wen out today, if someone does not receive fabric from me let me know I have some extras.
Thank you all!

Krista, I think all "boys" get excited about tractors. When my son was little his grandmother bought him all of the big metal Tonka trucks, etc. He was one HAPPY three year old. Now he has two tractors, one vintage, lots of toys to pull behind, trailers and his pride and joy: one enormous older sky track, which has proved useful for a lot more than just building homes for people.

Thanks Judith! My husband helped me pick out the fabrics. I bet you can guess which was his choice! He insisted that it was a necessary pattern! I'm glad to hear your DH is doing good!
I'm glad you like them, Marilyn.

Krista, I picked up the mail today after skipping it for a few days. There was your fabric envelope. I have to admit I am addicted to the critter on one of the fabrics. Also, who could have a boys' stash without a piece of that in it?! (I didn't want to ruin the surprise of your fabric for the others.) Thank you. You gave me a smile today.
For all you FarmGirls who have been so supportive...DH had his gall bladder out yesterday (laproscopic surgery, thank heaven!) They sent him home same day. He is doing everything necessary to recovver. We are trying to catch up on rest. That may take awhile. Thank you for caring.

Thank you for the cute little boy fabrics Judith, I love them both, but the little cowpokes remind me of my own...once upon a time.
Thanks also to Maryellen, who sent cowboys, cute penguins and the cutest puppies. Maryellen also sent her cute little girl fabrics and another of her beautiful handmade cards.
Thank you both, you made my day.

Thanks Marilyn, Christy, Cindy, Amy, and Linda! Your fabrics are perfect. I am so excited to get started on making my son a blanket with them. I apologize but I am late getting mine out. It’s been a rough end to the week. I will be sending them this weekend!

I know, Amy. I love getting all the different fabrics in the mail - and seeing what everyone else is finding. And for some of us it is helping diminish our stash, or at least broadening its variety. LOL!
