5" Color Swap - Gray...or Grey even!
February 5” Charm Swap – Color Theme (Gray). Sign up ends Saturday, February 10th. Swaps need to be in my hands by February 21st, with final distribution by February 24th.
***The Color Theme for this month’s Swap is Gray***
1. Color theme of Gray means a Minimum of 80% of the print has to be some shade of Gray. Yes, they can have other colors within that 5” square as well, but the predominant color must be a minimum of 80% Gray. It needs to read Gray.
2. You may swap up to 12 bags with 15 different 5" square charms in each bag. Please fussy cut if your fabric print requires it. Send the kind you hope to receive. Only send 100% quilting cotton squares!
3. This is not to be considered a holiday themed swap. There are many on the board who would prefer for the holiday fabric to be eliminated or kept to a minimum. If you are in doubt, please ask before sending.
Do Not Send: thin fabrics, homespuns, dotted swiss, denim, flannel, polyester or polyester blends, eyelet, wool, linen, fleece, knit, broadcloth, seersucker, Etc. Only send 100% quilting cotton, please.
4. Take your time cutting and be sure you have correctly cut 5” squares. No one wants wonky squares ��
Cutting/Packaging Method:
We will be sending 15 Different fabrics in each bag we swap. All your bags can have the same mixture in them, or different, but you cannot repeat fabrics in any one bag. We will be swapping bag for bag, so there must be 15 different fabrics in each bag. Please put your board name & location on every bag you are swapping. For instance, "Redstilettos, West Bend, WI".
5. Put all your swap bags in one big ziplock then affix a tag on it that includes your name and mailing address, as well as your board name. That will keep them together in your package and if it happens to get torn open in shipment - your address will be there for the P.O. to return to you. Padded flat rate envelopes are the best shipping method. You can order the padded flat rate envelops from the post office online, in packages of 10, and they are free. The cardboard type seams to rip often.
6. Postage: It costs $7.25 to ship the padded flat rate envelop. Please include a USPS Money Order for $7.25 in your big ziplock to pay to return ship to you. Very well hidden cash or stamps are okay as well. I cannot ship back to you until I receive payment. No personal or company checks, please. Also, Please put your board name on the outside of your package. I don't open these until I am ready to distribute, and having your board name on the outside allows me to keep track of any I may be missing, or allow me to give feedback to you when your package has arrived.
7. If I receive All swaps early, distribution back to swappers will be early, too!
Let’s aim to be early! If I do not receive early, distribution happen by February 24th.
I’m looking forward to having you!
If you have questions, please PM me,
Thank you!

Hi folks, hope to see sign-ups starting soon.
Please take note of the increase in postage (boo hiss....but a fact of life, unfortunately).
And just think! We don't need 50 shades of gray....we only need 15! What a deal!

Looking forward to this swap!
Is anyone that is participating live in the North Texas area other than Crispy Frog? The reason I ask is when I was at my local quilt store buying up a bunch of grey fabric - the woman behind the counter mentioned someone else was buying up grey fabric that day for a fabric swap. I was curious if it was for this swap?
