Thanks to @Polkadotty for letting me run this awesome swap!

Share your stash!

You will be sending your partner these items :

item 1: two FQs in your partner's choice of color.

item 2: your choice of any single new item from this list:

a) spool of thread in a color to match/compliment the FQ

b) 3 skeins of embroidery floss

c) a package of pins or hand sewing or machine needles

d) a card or package of buttons

e) seam ripper

f) tape measure

item 3: two tea bags or cocoa packets

item 4: one surprise item: (suggestions?)

hand made sewing item (needle book, pincushion)

orphan quilt blocks

storage container or organizer

kit or supplies for a small project

treat to have with the tea

ribbon or trim

This is the category where I hope you'll be creative!

Checkout your partner's profile for ideas.

Here are the nitty gritty details:

You must have completed and been rated for ten or more type 3 swaps. If you have received a three within the last 4 months, or have unresolved 1's sorry, you're out. I reserve the right to bump out questionable swappers.

All FQs must be 100% quilting quality cotton, clean and unused. Please send fabric that you would be proud to swap with your best sewing buddy and not fabric that you know that you would throw in the trash if you didn't feel so guilty. Same goes for everything else. If you don't want to get junk, don't send it!

If you don't have the time or money to assemble and mail your swap ( $10 tops assuming you don't have to buy everything ) then please don't sign up.

If on the other hand, this sounds like fun and you'd like to share your stash and can't wait to open your goodies, welcome aboard!

Please sign up and then post here to introduce yourself and your color preference.

Suggestions? ideas? Post them here!

Would love some yellows or bright golds, or cheerful spring fabrics. No kids prints please. Matching thread or needles would be great. I like black tea and hot cocoa. Looking forward to making a special package for someone. :)

I am serious need of these colors in my stash - red, yellow, orange, low volume....I love everything except for neon, batiks and kid prints. And for drinks - no black tea please. I love hot cocoa, herbal and fruit teas and hot ciders. I also love chai (that's my only exception to no black tea:))

I would love some purples, pinks or lighter greens. Also, I have enough kid prints, and am not into neons or super brights. I only drink herbal tea, and love cocoa. Can't wait to make up a package for my partner!

I love this idea! I craft with thrift store finds and scraps though- seldom able to buy new FQs with an intact selvage line, and sometimes I'm not sure of the fabric content. (I use a lot of linens, heavier upholstery type fabrics, and knits) Any chance of a DIY shabby-chic version of this swap in the future? :)

What a fun swap! I'd love FQ's in yellows and/or "spring" brights, flavored black teas are my beverage of choice, and please - no dmc floss, I have tons as I used to cross-stitch a lot.

I like any color in chevron or polka dots. Don't drink regular tea but hot chocolate is good. I have a keurig so k cups of coffee (for my husband) or flavored tea is good. Thanks in advance!
