The FAT QUARTERS FRIENDS SWAP allows participants to add their own personalization if they choose by
decorating the outside of the package, using decorative wrapping for the
fabric itself, including a personalized note/card, including any small
gifts that their FAT QUARTER FRIEND would be totally excited to receive.
You don't have to include any extras but some ideas are maybe:
- A Matching Spool of Thread
- A Cute Sewing Notion
- Sewing Pattern you no longer want/need
- Yummy candy
- Anything else you would like your new friend to have!

The Fat Quarter Friends Swaps will be open to Canada & USA
Only. Canadians will be paired up and Americans will be paired up.

* There are no fees other than buying Fat Quarters, extra goodies & shipping costs.

The link for the online Sign-Up Sheet is above and you have until July
31st to register. There are 3 slots on the online form asking for
favorite colors,
favorite designers and favorite collections which will help you pick out
Fat Quarters that your FAT QUARTER FRIEND will love!
* I will then pair everyone up by August 2nd then send out emails to let everyone know who their FAT QUARTER FRIEND is.
*
Please make sure that you ship your package by August 10th, which gives
you about a week to go shopping from your local quilt/fabric shoppe.
*
Send 4 different Fat Quarters that are unwashed & are quilt quality. You
can send Fat Quarters from your own stash as long as they are in like
new condition and are full sized & not trimmed off. Or buy new
Fat Quarters.
*
If for some reason you are not able to participate after signing up, PLEASE let me know by July 31st so that I can rearrange
pairs.
* I will ask that all participants email me in August when they receive the package from their FAT QUARTER FRIEND so that I can keep track of who has/hasn't received theirs.
*
For those participants that have blogs, I think it will be awesome to
show in a blog post what our FAT QUARTER FRIEND has sent us!
*For that that are swapping for the 1st time, I will add your email address to our special E-list so that I can notify you right away when I announce the next month's swap.
