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.
Sign-ups: quiltee (Linda) TexasGran (Marilyn) forgetmenot (Judith) MaryJanesNiece (Krista) Song Sparrow (Amy) Denise Ann (Denise) mbenton16 (Maryellen) Christy925 (Christy) HealingTouch (Darlene) quilter cindy (Cindy)

We swap 100% cotton quilting fabric and as everyone will say we have gotten some wonderful fabrics for our projects.

Here is a link to a sale on Novelty Fabrics - probably lots of boy and girl related fabrics here. https://us-mg4.mail.yahoo.com/neo/launch?.rand=16rkoij3th69u#4966539601

Okay, so I already purchased my boy-themed fabric. This was really hard as I only went to Hobby Lobby. However, so many subjects are liked by both boys and girls...and then what age group are we looking for? Infant, toddler, tween, teen...you get it? Oh my, my head is just spinning..well, it usually is anyway! Anyway, I love what I bought. Ha ha...happy shopping.

Food for thought Judith. I had been thinking younger boys, since I spend time with them. I have not shopped yet, so I must get to looking. This is fun.

I have to wait to see if I will be able to see well enough. I am having cataract surgery on Tuesday and in 2 weeks the next one. I will play it by ear, eyesight! LOL!

I have a question for everyone: I have a quilting friend who might be interested in swapping "boy" fabric squares with us. Does anyone mind if I add her name and address to our list? OR I can just have everyone send me double squares. I'd like to encourage her to join MJF and this might help that, too. Thanks!

Since she has not yet joined could we send two sets to you and you can send us yours and hers?

That would work, too! I don't think she has to be a paid MJF member to do swaps, does she? Just sign up for the Chat Room?

I'm fine with your friend joining the swap. No, she does not have to belong to the Sisterhood. She can join in the Connection/Swap or swap through you.

Well, I received the cutest yard of fabric today, perfect for boys. Now I will venture off to town to find another.

My friend tried to sign up for MJF on Thursday and for some reason it didn't take. She is going to try again.
