Swap #3B is on its way!

Audra got back to me today with the last few pictures! I'm sorry for the delay, but this swap has had some challenges! I guess someone dropped out at the last minute and Audra decided to just send out the squares instead of waiting for a replacement. With a USPS postage rate increase on Monday, Audra wanted to get the squares out before then. She divided up the extras so everyone should still have 200 squares. I'm sorry for the confusion! I hope you all like your squares! Thank you all SOOO much for your patience throughout all of this. Here are the last squares:

From Lindsay: Flamingos and mittens!
From Jennifer: Chocolates and that fire hydrant is awesome!
Jenna: Love that strawberry print, and cute moons and stars!
From Courtney: Whales and teacups!
This has been a great swap with lots of variety! Thanks so much for swapping, and for your understanding!

Audra has received all but one package, as of yesterday. Becca, if you are out there, please email me!

Sorry for the delay, but we will figure it out soon and get your squares out to you :) More pictures coming soon! Thanks so much for your patience.

Swappers!

If you didn't make it in and still want to participate, you can comment and be an alternate. Sometimes someone drops out or realizes they have a conflict or something, and it helps to have back-ups! I will also keep your email address and email you before I do any future swaps.

Thanks to those of you who have responded to my emails. I'm excited to see what you all send in! I went shopping yesterday and found some cute things, and I will be cutting all day!

And...We're Doing a Double Swap!

Amy and lxchelle, you are automatically entered in this swap, so no need to comment :)

Okay, I have been convinced to make this a double swap. That will give 16 more people the chance to participate! Hopefully we can fill up the slots. Go ahead and pass the invitation around! We have 16 open spots, so leave a comment if you want to join the swap. Here is the info one more time! Please read it thoroughly before signing up!

Wondering what I-Spy fabrics are? Click on the I-Spy or Swap Labels on the left sidebar to see what they are and what you can make with them!

*Very important!* Please only comment if you are going to be able to meet the deadline! Fabric should be in my mailbox on the date of the deadline, not mailed by that date. Thanks!

The Basics:

Mail me 200 I-Spy squares by March 30th.

Get back 200 squares, all different, by April 13th.

The Details:

1. I need 16 people to join the swap. In order to join, just leave a comment with your email address included. (If you are not located in the USA, please send your fabrics ASAP.)

2. Cut 20 4" squares out of each of 10 different novelty print fabrics (quilting quality cotton wovens - please no flannel). A 1/4-yard cut or fat quarter will get you 20 4" squares, so you will be purchasing a total of about 2 1/2 yards of fabric. This is NOTHING when you consider all of the fabrics you will be getting back.

3. In order to avoid duplicates, everyone will need to search out unusual or obscure prints. Try to look for things that aren't available at chain stores like Joann's and Hobby Lobby. Pick fun prints that you love!

4. Remember that we are looking for fabric with objects on it, not printy-prints. (A fabric with FLOWERS on it is very different from a FLORAL PRINT.)

5. No "licensed" prints: No Disney, Spongebob, Dora, John Deere, L.A. Lakers, etc.

6. Remember seam allowances! Be sure you can tell what you are looking at within a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square. Nobody wants only half of an object in their square -- cut them well! (Depending on your fabric choice, you may need to buy more than 1/4 yard in order to get an object into each cut square.)

The first 16 people who comment here will get to participate! Please leave your email address in the comment as I will be sending out an email with details of the swap as soon as we are full. Please check your email promptly! Also, feel free to tell any friends you have that might be interested in joining us!

I-Spy Swap #3

Okay, we are full! I will send out an email to you all soon. Katie- I need your email address still. Please post it below! Thanks!

Yep, that's right. I'm doing another swap. I always seem to miss the swaps on other people's blogs, so here we go.

*Very important!* Please only comment if you are going to be able to meet the deadline! Fabric should be in my mailbox on the date of the deadline, not mailed by that date. Thanks!
