One of my favorite sewing blogs, Sew, Mama, Sew, had a "Fat Quarter Month" during the month of February, where they spotlighted all the wonderful projects you can make with a fat quarter. That is where I got my inspiration for fabric bookmarks. They have conveniently put all of their links together in one place here. I am especially excited about their Doll Quilt "quilt-along" which gave instructions on piecing and quilting a small quilt--it is perfect for someone like me who knows how to sew but not how to quilt! ANYWAY, Sew, Mama, Sew hosted a fat quarter swap but I was unable to participate. To celebrate the month of March, and the hopeful approach of spring (though you can't tell with the snow in my yard), I wanted to know if any of my faithful (few) blog readers would be interested in having our own FQ swap. Here is how it will work:
--Send me an email with your name, email address, and mailing address by March 15th.
--I will then send you a list of people that you will mail a FQ to. I would love to have enough participants for each person mail off 4 fat quarters, but we will see.
--Not sure what a fat quarter is? Check it out here. You can cut up one yard into 4 fat quarters, or you can send four different fabrics. The fat quarters should be 100% cotton.
Let me know if you want to play!

I would do it. I have alot of fabric around and maybe it would motivate me. I am going to make some of those bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteI missed out on the SMS swap, too. I would totally do this!
ReplyDeleteThe SMS swap was great - I received some great new fabric to add to my yo-yo coverlet and to make some other things on "my to-do list".
