Description:

What I have in mind is you recycle one colorful shirt (button down, t-shirt or sweatshirt) from the 2nd hand store and turn it into a nice handmade quilted gift. Some of the ideas I think would work are; a tote bag, purse, table runner, hot pads or a small wall hanging.

**The Rules: **

  • The 2nd hand shirt needs to have ATLEAST 5 different colors.
  • Atleast 60% of the item you make has to come from the fabric of your shirt.
  • This is senders choice. So that those of us who want a head start can begin before partners are assigned.
  • Do the best job that YOU can do.

    I want new quilters to join too, so remember your partner isn't a professional, no complaints, as long as they follow the guidelines.

I am making this International because it shouldn't be too heavy to send anywhere.

You may join as long as you have atleast 3 rated real (not Email) swaps. 4.8 or above, no unexplained 1's. I will ban people who I think might flake on other participants.

Please feel free to ask questions. This is my first swap, and I might have forgotten to mention somehting. Any suggestions, let me know.
