Charm Square Scavenger Hunt

Charm Square Scavenger Hunt
Swap Coordinator:maroyau (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Fabric 
Number of people in swap:23
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:June 23, 2010
Date items must be sent by:July 14, 2010
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

When signing up each person must list 12 categories of fabrics they would like.

When you receive you partner, you will choose at least 5 of their categories and send them charm squares that fit the category. That means you will be sending 5 squares measuring 5 x 5 inches.

Failure to list your categories when you sign up means I will have to drop you from the swap as I have had a recent problem with someone that did not do their list. It created all sorts of problems for their poor partner.

I will be checking profiles for recent 1s or 5s. Please do not sign up if you don't intend to send!!

That's ok marthy, you can join :-)

melzenitram 05/12/2010 #

is this like scrabble tile charms? what do we send the fabric square or the completed charm?

twobluecrows 05/12/2010 #

To format a list here, you need to put a space between lines and an asterisk ( * ) in front of the first word of the item if you want a bullet (black dot) as in this picture:

twobluecrows 05/12/2010 #

Your list will then end up like this:

*item one

*item two

*item three

OR

  1. item one

  2. item two

  3. item three

twobluecrows 05/12/2010 #

OOPS! glitch sorry!

twobluecrows 05/12/2010 #

There needs to be a space between the asterisk and the first word

  • item one

  • item two

  • item three

twobluecrows 05/12/2010 #

...and apparently no space between the lines either! [need coffee! ;) ]

rafacosta 05/12/2010 #

Love the swap's idea. It's on my watchlist and I'll for sure join when it gets closer to the signup deadline. =)

maroyau 05/12/2010 #

Go get your coffee @twobluecrows :-) You sound just like me before it!

@melzenitram - I'm meaning for you to send fabric squares. I may have misnamed it? I always thought the cut pieces of fabby were the charm squares. But I was assuming lol. Please educate me. What are scrabble tile charms?

marthy 05/13/2010 #

OK...let's give this a try.

  • shades of green
  • pink and green
  • blue and white
  • soft yellow print
  • neutral (cream/tan) print
  • polka dots
  • stripes
  • daisies (the yellow and white ones)
  • snowflakes
  • autumn leaves
  • cats
  • 1930s prints
marthy 05/13/2010 #

Yes, charms or charm squares is what they're called...but not the same as 'charms' as in charm bracelets or jewelry...it's kind of a quilting jargon thing.
