Description:

Are you like me, and love finding buried treasures? Well, we're had button hunts before, and now I'm ready to dig for fabric treasure. If you'd like to join me, lets get to diggin'!

We'll have one partner, and send that partner one 10" PRINTED square of 100% cotton quilting fabric from at least 6 of the following categories listed below. Be creative with your choices, and send things you'd like to receive. Do not send recycled, or see-through thin fabric. Be sure to attach a label on each 10" square identifying the category number it belongs to. (because teapot could be under category 6, 7 or 8).

Please do not send the same print for two different categories. Also, try to avoid holiday specific items, or fabric geared especially for children.

I'd say if you send a 10" PRINTED square of fabric for each of the nine different categories below, you would deserve a heart!

I will Angel this swap, but will publicize if you flake. Please don't turn me into a tattle-tail!

Summary: at least SIX 10" PRINTED squares of 100% cotton quilting fabric (one each from six of the categories listed below)

1--something from the forest or woods (bear, tree, moss, elk, etc.)

2--a fruit you'd find in a pie or cobbler (apple, pumpkin, peach, etc.)

3--something from the sky (star, moon, cloud, rain, airplane, etc.)

4--something pertaining to the ocean, sea or lake (fish, boat, waves, etc.)

5--something from dad's domain (a tool, ball cap, fishing pole, car, TV remote, etc.)

6--something from the China cabinet/curio cabinet or jewelry box (teacup, fancy dishes, earrings, pearls, etc.)

7--something to do with grandma (candy, cookie jar, kisses, knitting, etc.)

8--something that would make your swap-partner pleased (read their profile and send tham a 10" PRINTED square from the clues they give. Example: they like cats, send them a cat print.)

9--something to do with music or literature (an instrument, musical notes, words, books, etc.)

I'm watching for now, but would love to do this!!! My only problem is having to buy fabbies for about half of the categories, but atleast we won't have to buy much to send just a 10" square of each. Hum....think I'm about to talk myself into it, lol.

for help so you might not have to go shopping (unless you just want to) more suggetions: option 1 (leaves, vines, flowers etc), option 2 (cherries, pinneapple, lemons, etc) option 3 (angels, sun, etc) option 4 (water, shells, etc) option 5 (pipe, boat, lawnmower, lawntools, etc) option 6 (rings, platters, china figurines, etc) option 7 (apron, pictures of grandma's, story books, etc) option 8 (could be as easy as a print of their favorite flower) option 9 (lyrics, song books, etc) Use your imagination...if the print you pick for any option is unusual or uncommon, leave a clue for your partner as to why you picked that print.
