I wouldn't mind it and since it is supposed to be an International Swap I would think something from Canada would be nice. I haven't seen anything like that here in Fl. It's fun to get different just my opinion. Sue

I like the sound of those fabrics. Sue

I wouldn't mind receiving something from anywhere. It'll be fun to see what we all get. Sue

So I think just sending in material you find locally is great and if it has to do with whatever is popular in your neck of the woods that's even better.:) Just have FUN!

Franklin, TN was the site of a major battle near the end of the Civil War. I may use Civil War fabrics as my representation of my area.

I bought my Civil War era fabric yesterday at The Quilting Squares; a Franklin shop that is actually where the battle took place. The war was a sad chapter in our history, but Franklin is well-known for historical sites and living history events during that time period.

WOW, sure wish I could see this shop, my favorite fabrics along with the 30's.

You can count me in...I am in the Uk and will try and find something that represents the Uk...not sure the fabric will be made in the UK...I can only think of Makower..and I think that is readily available in the US...but I do have some fabrics that I bought in Austria, Germany and Spain that I would be happy to send too.....sounds fun....but someone will have to remind me when to send.

I believe you can send them in at any time. (before the deadline of course)
