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 cut off all selvages before cutting 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 is a new swap for 10" squares of Girl-themed Fabrics. Each person who signs up will receive 2 different 10" squares of Girl-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 will need to purchase will depend on how many sign up.
Signups begin today: March 21
Signups end: Noon, April 6
Mail out by: April 20
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.
Sign-ups:

Thank you so much (,and if I've missed your name, I'm sorry- but my quilting area is being reorganized. Anything that made it to that section has disappeared into a black hole for a while.
Love you all,

Thanks, Denise. The flooding is scary. One year my husband could not get home for three days. He was a volunteer firefighter at the time. That was before we moved here.

All mine are going out tomorrow! Thank you all for the squares! I have no two alike!
The rain here has been bad. Roadways were closed and then reopened only to have it rain again and closures began once more. We are high but parts of the area was flooded. We have more rain in the forecast. This part of Texas is not in a drought!!!

I was able to open more envelopes today. I was gone for the weekend to a friends cabin last weekend, I was so excited to look at my fabric squares, they are all so cute. It truly made my day. They all go to together so well.
If anyone did not get squares from me let me know and I can send them, I have some extra.

I received two pretty fabric squares today. One is pinks and the other is teddy bears. I love teddy bears, so does miss Baylee at age five when they moved into their huge new home, and as we slowly moved their toys to the new home, many of my bears went missing. When I asked she told me she loved them too. That was 14 years ago.
Thank you Jody. Do you have family in Texas?

Marti -
I use steam, too, and I think it presses them flatter. I hae a clapper. I may have to use that.
Glad you like the squares, Jody. The floral fabrics swap was posted on the chat forum yesterday. Please join in.

Judith, my squares from you came in a plastic bag, they had demolished the envelope you sent in. the fabric is fine tho and I love them!
are you using steam when you press them? I have a clapper that I use on them as well and that helps them to press flatter I think.

Marilyn, I got both my fabrics at Joann Fabrics. Aren't those heels adorable!! I love them too, and got extra fabric so I could make a tote bag for my granddaughter. The youngest is getting a beach back made from the mermaid fabrics.
I remember having to wear dresses to school, they finally made it so we could wear pants when I was a Junior I think (that dates me huh?!)
I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is the reason your knees and ankle are having issues now either :(
