This swap is very similar to the Christmas and Patriotic Fabric Swap from last month. We've been talking about this in that swap. This swap involves no sewing (yet - depends on 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 Christmas Fabrics. Each person who signs up will receive 2 different 10" squares of Christmas fabric from each of the other farmgirls who sign up. A yard of fabric will make 12 squares, so the amount of fabric you purchase will depend on how many sign up.
Signups begin today: August 1
Signups end: September 1
Mail out by: September 15
When you sign up by posting in this thread, please immediately also send me your name/address/phone. The name and address is so I can make a list to send to everyone for those they need to mail fabric squares to; the phone number is in case I need to contact you for any reason.
I can't wait to see all the fabrics everyone picks out. And then to see what everyone makes with their squares. I can picture lots of Christmas quilts.  What else do you have in mind?
I will send out the list of names on September 2.
Happy sewing everyone!

Linda - I would love to be part of this swap, but a couple of question. 1) are people OK with sending to Canada? 2) how many people signed up for the last swap? This way I can determine an estimate on shipping for my end :)

Joyce -
There were 10 who signed up last time, so only 1 yard had to be purchased of each fabric.
And I don't have a problem sending to Canada. Is there anyone who has a problem? There might be a little more postage for the blocks to Joyce, but that would only be one envelope out of the bunch.

OK - I'm in as long as everyone else is OK sending to Canada :) I think I can definitely do around the 10 mark :) It's not so much the fabric cost...is the postage, but I don't think it will be very much as I can send it in a pretty small envelope. Excited!!

I found a picture - on the front of a Connecting Threads Magazine - that will be perfect for our squares, and we wouldn't even need to cut them. LOL! I'm going to take a picture to post and then, if anyone is interested, I can write up a pattern for it.
Thanks for joining us again, Judith!
We are up to 9 swappers already! This will be a wonderful quilt.

Here's the Christmas quilt picture from the Connecting Threads catalog I mentioned above. I am going to write-up the directions for this and I will send out to any who want a copy.
It would be very easy with our 10" squares.
