So often I look at fabrics and fall in love, but I don't have the money or the space to buy them. Wouldn't it be lovely to have even just a little bit of all the yummy fabrics. Well Sarah (who blogs at Narcoleptic In A Cupboard) had a great idea, and enough friends to pull it off:
54 of us each buy a metre of Japanese fabric, and chop it into 5 inch squares (charms) we then send them off to Sarah. We then trust Sarah to create 54 piles of different charms and package them up to send them back to us. We are all posting pics of our intended fabrics on a Flickr
group to ensure that no two of us get the same fabrics, and oh boy there are some fab fabrics that people are contributing
This is my first swap, and I am *very* excited :-)
You can click on this picture and drool over the fabrics that are being contributed - but be warned, this carries a severe envy warning!!!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
LOL You're far too kind... Have been having mini freakouts hourly when I think of just how much fabric I'm going to be made responsible for.... eek!
ReplyDeleteLets hope Sarah doesn't go AWOL!!
