Description:

I remember being a newbie and waiting for swaps so I could get rated. So here’s one for all the newbies out there.

Pick TWO different items from the following list and send it to your partner. All these items are not that expensive and won’t cost that much to ship.

• A fat quarter

• A card of buttons

• A roll of ribbon

• A yard of lace

• 6 skeins of embroidery floss

• A rubber stamp

• A sheet of rub on or sticker letters

• A cute iron on appliqué

• A useful handmade item (like a needlebook or bookmarks – things that can be used, not are just for decoration)

This swap is open to all newbies and even those swappers with ratings. I won't be banning anyone unless it's someone I know to be a known scammer. This swap is US only. This swap is going to have a quick turnaround so you all can get rated pretty quickly. Please fill out your profile with likes and dislikes – this will help your partner be able to get an idea of things you would like.

Here's why I call it "At Your Own Risk" swap. If you don't get something from your partner I will not be swap-fairy-ing this swap. But if you do get stiffed, I will heartily recommend you filing a mail fraud claim with the post office and will give you the information to do just that. I think this is a great way to get some new swappers into the fold and have some fun doing it. Let's get swapping!

How many buttons are on a card? I recycle older buttons (unusual ones, not the plain men's shirt kind) would the same number of these be appropriate? And what about cards of button covers?

ellawitch 04/28/2007 #

depending on the size of the buttons i have seen it range from 3 buttons to 8. the reason i said a card of buttons and not just a handful buttons was to ensure it be easier for everyone and that it was an unused item being sent. i would recommend following the directions of the swap unless you clear it with your partner. not following the swap requirements would be reason for a lower score (not that i am saying your partner would do that but it would be a possibility in that case). as for button covers, no that is not one of the items listed, sorry.

I love swapping! And I know how it is like to be a newbie, (I am not anymore, but I'll help the ones out there who need rating. I would love to recieve something I can use during my crazy quilting. I am in the red/pink/creem corner of life :-) Including donating hearts!

Oh! Exciting! It is hard to find good newbie swaps! I'm excited and hope to get some interesting fat quarters for a bookshelf quilt I'm working on!

Update: I want to apologize to my current swap partners that I am running late. My sister needed to come up immediately to start getting moved in. We've been working around the clock to prep part of the house and I have had no time for anything else...even sleep! I am trying my best to get caught up. I am not going to flake on anyone, but please please please be patient with me. I really am trying the best I can. I'm sorry! I hope the special packages I put together for you will make up for it!

user3457 05/28/2007 #
