Posted - Dec 20 2020 : 7:19:22 PM Sign up here by January 5. Partners posted January 6. Using the private email link, send me your selection choice from these photos along with your mailing address. Selection 1 is all gone Selection 2 is all gone I will send you one feed sack from the selection you chose. Please note all signups will now receive "surprise" feed sacks from Mary Jane's stash. You will then make a project of your choice from that feed sack to send to your partner the first week in February. Project can be sewn or crafted. Please don’t sign up if you don’t plan to follow through. There is nothing more disheartening than anticipating a delightful swap item that never comes. Tucks are optional. Some ideas are: • Tote Bag • Apron • Pillow Cover • Pot Holders • Quilt Blocks • Mini quilt • Placemats • Fabric bowls or Cozys • Sewing Machine or Appliance Covers • Many non-sewn craft ideas on Pinterest
I decided to do this swap to honor 2021, a year of new beginnings while still honoring old traditions. Our grandmothers and possibly their mothers might have been using feed sacks like these during the last pandemic 100 years ago. Please join me in a project that's a little different and new while remembering the old. jean

Posted - Feb 19 2022 : 2:25:32 PM I did receive my projects from Linda and promptly put them to work. Then she told me to wait to mail hers, until they get back from Florida. So.....happy feed sacks make happy hearts. Thank you Laura and sis for making such a fun swap happen again! Laura have you moved?

Posted - Mar 23 2021 : 5:34:38 PM I received my Feed Sack package from Gail today. I love Blue Bear, my feed sack teddy bear with a crocheted collar and holding a red heart. She also included a nice card with note and a set of Affirmation Cards. Thank you so much.

Posted - Feb 22 2021 : 1:08:53 PM Linda, I try to remember to take pictures but frequently forget....lol. I am going to make a big sign to remind to take pictures before I mail items. Maybe that will help me!
Darlene, I just love what you sent me! Especially, the mug rug with the dress on it. Thank you, again.

Posted - Feb 22 2021 : 10:19:43 AM The clothespin bag is so sweet, did you do the embroidery or incorporate an antique piece? Either way the bag is so cute! Kathy

Posted - Feb 22 2021 : 09:49:58 AM This is the clothespin bag I made for Niki. The hanger was made from a tree branch. I also made a scalloped edge apron for her, but I don't have a picture of that. It was so much fun making them. Looking forward to the next one!

Posted - Feb 22 2021 : 08:53:07 AM Everyone - please take pictures of your swap items before they leave your home. There are many farm girls who cannot take or post pictures on MJF, and if you take one before it leaves your house, then if they have that problem you can post it for them. We love seeing the pictures.
