Well, the time has come for our 2nd annual Christmas 10"-square Fabric Swap (Known as layer cake squares, in the quilting world). You can never have enough Christmas fabrics (or Christmas quilts, I sometimes think).
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 buy 100% cotton quilting fabric and cut off both selvage edges before cutting squares 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 swap is for 10" squares of Christmas-themed Fabrics. Each person who signs up will send 2 different 10" squares of Christmas-themed fabric to each of the other farm girls who sign up. A yard of fabric will make 12 squares (with a little left over), so the amount of fabric you will need to purchase will depend on how many sign up. Please join in - all are welcome.
Signups begin today: October 2 Signups end: Noon, October 19 Mail out by: October 26
NOTE: Please mail out PROMPTLY so that Christmas gifts, table runners, banners, or other items can be completed in time to send or decorate for the holidays. These dates are early so that you will have plenty of tie to be creative. And please post pics of what you make.
If you have not yet participated in one of these 10"-square fabric swaps, 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 farm girl for mailing out to everyone; the phone number is only 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: When you join in, please "Subscribe" to this topic so that you will receive all communication regarding the topic. And we all like to hear from you when you send out fabric and when you receive fabric.
You can go to the "Showcase" thread for projects made with these 10" squares to post what you make and see what others have made using our themed squares. http://maryjanesfarm.org/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=73817

Everyone: Please, please measure carefully. I have noticed that several of the squares have not been quite 10" in one direction or the other. Sometimes this is correctable with a slightly smaller seam when sewing them together. If it is off too much, this can cause problems in a project. The easiest way to cut the squares is using a cutting mat, ruler, and rotary cutter.
