NO THEME ~ABC~ SWAP

Please PM me w/ you info Name~real & board, Addy's~home & email and your Phone # along w/ which letter(s) you'd like. You can take no more than 2. I'll add you to the list after I receive your info. Whose ever PM w/ a certain letter that I get 1st, gets that letter.

You can send different fabrics for ea letter, (ie- IF you have 'D' and have 2 different dog fabrics, that'd be ok to send in)

Only LGS quality fabric, please, which needs to be WASHED, IRONED, CUT into 27 - 6.5" sq w/ selvage cut off BEFORE CUTTING into sq's The extra set will be for a charity quilt. 1 yd should be enough to get that many sq's UNLESS YOU NEED TO FUSSY CUT! (I usualy buy a little extra incase of shrinkage or mistake in cutting)

Place each set of sq's in a separate baggie and slip a card w/ your name/addy & letter on one side and my name and addy on the other.

All sq's needs to be in my hands by April 20th...that's 6 weeks! I think that gives you plenty of time to get your sq's mailed!

~Please enclose a SASE (self address STAMPED Envelope...NO Metered mail!!!~

I will take X. I bought some material a long time ago knowing someone would do an alphabet swap and need an X. Now the X will not be an unwanted "child"

Aliquilts, I put you down for the letter 'I', glad you joined us!

Ilovemy4kids, sorry to say, Aliquilts grabbed the letter 'I' 1st...I put you down for 'J', though. Is there another letter you'd like?

AJ, I sent you a PM...'Q' is yours! Thanks for joining the swap! Big Grin

Here's a good suggestion from Chlynn:

"please make sure the squares are suitable for juveniles. My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves his quilt! He looks at it all the time and we name the squares. However, in some past exchanges I have received some squares that I had to replace. For example: W was a wine bottle...E was Elvis fabric. I am sorry, but my grandson does not know what an Elvis is! Nor did I like the wine bottle"

The ONLY letter left is 'Z'....who wants it??

Is fabric from Joanns LGS quality? I don't know that abbreviation. It is where I got my J fabric from the Easter fabrics.

It is a Joann Holiday Inspiration Fabric

Since I already have prewashed fabric in my stash for this swap, it won't be hard to get my package ready to go. However, DH is in the hospital with pneumonia so it will be at least a few days before I can get them cut and ready to go.
