Swap Details
Each participant will suggest their 3 top designer choices when they sign up. Choosing a designer does not mean you will get one of your choices. It will just make it easier to narrow the fields at assignment time.
The “Modern Designer Charm Swap” is open to 56 participants, USA and International.
Please go to the FLICKR page after sign up to JOIN the swap: http://www.flickr.com/groups/moderndesignercharm/
Participants will be assigned to 8 groups of 7 people . The group will be responsible for representing the designer it was assigned. You will purchase 1 yard each of 2 different fabrics by the designer, for a total of 2 yards purchased.. You will cut 56 of the 5x5 charm squares from each yard of your fabric. Please make sets of 1 charm of each of your fabrics.Once you are certain of your fabric choices please post to the board so we can avoid duplicates.
You may have more than once space in the swap. Just be sure to sign up in the form on my webpage a separate time for each space.
Designers will be determined by the most popular ones suggested in the signup process.
Please do not purchase solids or batiks. Only quilt shop quality (except for Denyse Scmidt and any other who have lines at Joann).
You may buy any fabric by the designer you want. There are no limits to color or print.
I have found it helpful purchasing a little over a yard to account for cutting errors.
Mailing
Since I am on vacation I will set the mail date to August 15 so I can be assured I will be home to start receiving the packages.International swappers welcome. I will pay the postage and then invoice you back for the amount due. Please include your Paypal email address with your charms.
Fabrics should be mailed to me with a SASE with proper return postage. I would prefer actual postage over money. Keeps things simple.
Package your charms in Ziploc bags (inside your mailing package) to protect against weather, dirt, etc.
Please include in your package one index card with the name/color/manufacturer info of your fabrics, your flickr id, email address and return mailing address (just incase).
Also somewhere on the outside of your envelope write your Flickr user name.
Mailing address will be provided once swap is full.
FULL!!!!

Would you please post an update about when you will be able to ship the charm packs? I'm in this for over $20 now with shipping of fabrics to me and then to you. Just a simple explanation would be appreciated! Thanks
ReplyDeleteDear Amy,
ReplyDeleteSometimes life gets pretty complicated. We all understand that and hope that your situation will get better.
As Swappers within this online community, we are very trusting souls. We send out our part of swaps like these because we look forward to receiving back from the community of quilters that we all belong to.
Fabric is very expensive and to be able to participate in a swap like this is exciting for us and also at this point extremely frustrating.
Without communication from you, we are left to our imaginations and to think and worry about where this particular swap will end up.
If you need our help, please reach out to us. We just want to hear back from you. When weeks and weeks go by without your response to our emails it is very difficult to form any positive opinion about what is happening and the final demise of our fabric.
All we ask is that you let us know where things stand. Please....?
