<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This fabric swap is going to be based on novelty prints. There are no allocations for colour / theme, the only "rule" on how you pick your fabric is that it is BRIGHT. Please upload your image to the facebook group so we can all see and not repurchase. You then need to prepare it for the swap and send it to me, I'll split up all the charms and then forward them back to you (2 charms from each swap, 56 charms in total).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How many times have you popped down to your local quilting store only to see the same fabrics... day in day out... this can put a little downer on your mojo, and sometimes those fabrics can take AGES to change to something new and exciting that gives you back your sewing mojo. Let's put an end to that and create our own mojo building event.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This event is going to have two parts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u>Part One</u></b> is a fabric swap. Go out and purchase quality quilting material that is BOTH black and white, I don't want black, I don't want white, it needs to be a black and white print combined. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">No other colours. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Small to medium sized designs / patterns are best as they allow more range in finished products. Purchase as many options as you like, you can purchase either pre cut fat quarters, or half yard of each fabric {0.46 metres} and cut it in half and create two fat quarters {minimum of </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">18" x 21" rectangles, as per <a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/guide-and-glossary.asp" target="_blank">Fat Quarter Shop</a>} PLEASE do not purchase more than four fat quarters of each fabric you wish to swap, this is to ensure we get as much variety as possible, as someone else might also purchase that same fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">One FQ from everyone that joins us will be put aside for the "Hidden Stash" {I will collect these} If you send in 5 fat quarters you will receive 4 fat quarters back, if you send in 12 you will receive 11 back. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">The FQs will be put into a pile and then I'll split them between those that have joined in. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">I will try and send you different FQs from the ones you've sent in however this is not </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">guaranteed due to the random nature that they will be split up.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><b><u>Part Two</u></b>, this is where you showcase your fabric stash and share what your going to make, and make it</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">A draw will be done six weeks after the FQ Swap has been received in your precious little hands, you'll gain one entry into the draw to win the "hidden stash" for each step you cross off the list</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">1. Showcase your new Fat Quarters</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">2. Share what you are planning on using them in</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">3. Create something with them</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">4. Complete all THREE steps</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">All entries will be added to random.org then the winner will be selected at random. </span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><b><u>Samples {if in doubt please double check}</u></b></span><br />

<b style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><u>Q & A Section</u></b><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><u>What size is a fat quarter?</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">18" x 21" rectangles, as per </span><a href="http://www.fatquartershop.com/guide-and-glossary.asp" style="line-height: 16px;" target="_blank">Fat Quarter Shop</a> however if your FQs are slightly bigger that is okay, but please note any that are smaller than this will be send back to you without being swapped.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><u>How many in this swap?</u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">This swap is open to anyone that is interested, the more who sign up the bigger the variety of fabrics you'll receive, this is also true of the number of FQs you send in. International Swappers are also welcome!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><u>What Fabric?</u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Your fabric must be of high quality quilting material, fabric that you in turn would like to receive. It MUST be BLACK AND WHITE, not navy, not brown but BLACK and WHITE combined.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><u>How much fabric is required?</u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Minimum FQ swap is two, however that means you will only get ONE FQ back, the limit will only be dictated by how much you wish to pay for postage. You can get 6 precut FQ's {with the cardboard inset} for under 250grams. 500g satchels from AUSPOST are $7.20</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><u>What about the selvedge?</u></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Your more than welcome to leave these on {it helps when the new owner goes to use it} but please do not include it in the measurements.</span></span><br />

Over at <a href="http://www.sameliasmum.com/2012/04/rivendale-collection-pattern.html" target="_blank">Samelia's Mum</a> she is running an awesome giveaway for The Rivendale Collection which is open internationally. It would be such a treasure to walk away with this collection of patterns, I'm personally in love with "<a href="https://beesewwhimsical.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_67&product_id=142" target="_blank">Raspberry Jam</a>" and I believe that if I don't win... I'll be heading over to <a href="https://beesewwhimsical.com/" target="_blank">Bee Sew Whimsical</a> to purchase it myself</span><div>

BORING!!!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the problem in being a crafter is the stuff you accumulate and then never want to get rid of even though you know you won't use it again... BUT... you might?!?! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My problem is I've moved from craft to craft... a couple of times now... and I started getting rid of my stamping / paper craft supplies but now I'm getting to the part that are hard to sell... the individual pieces of paper, and ribbon, random stamp sets, bits and bobs... but I've made a deal with myself, IF I sell these off I'm going to spoil myself with material! And there is so many different fabrics that I NEED!!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So share with the tips of the trade in destashing :-D</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of these wonderful packages are my rainbows :-D lots of different colours and lots of different patterns, I can't wait to share them all but for now I'm just going to provide an update on those I have received mail from, those names in the below table that are coloured means I've received your magical charms, those that are white must still be in the post or on the cutting table {like mine} so please make sure they are in the post to me by the 30th April 2012 so we can get these rainbows back to you ASAP.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">QCA Handmade Swaps which is a group of us quilters being assigned a secret swap partner, we then take note of what details they supplied in their entry form and create something homemade, we've been given a list of items to consider which include a table runner, placemats (x2), mug rugs (x2), dolls quilt (up to 24" square) pouches, bags, cushion cover (up to 16" square), sewing caddy, needle keeper & pincushion set, but really the list is endless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I've received the details of who I'm to create for and I can't tell you how excited I am! I've decided on what I'm making, just need to purchase MORE fabric as my stash isn't as plentiful as others :-) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As I blog about my journey I can not tell you exactly what it is that I am making however I can give you clues, little snippets and of course the final picture once the items has been received.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Can't wait to start,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">♥</span> First Birthday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">♥</span> First Donut</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">♥</span> First Hair Cut</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My god how fast time has gone, this time a year ago I was recovering from his arrival and having lots of new born snuggles</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So for his first birthday I decided to create my first bunting <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;">♥</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I grabbed the template from Chick A Bug's blog which you can find <a href="http://www.allcrafts.net/fjs.htm?url=www.chickabug.com/blog/2010/11/free-fabric-bunting-pattern.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Picked a few fabrics that match his birthday invites and started cutting, I decided to work off her 7.75" pattern but to add 0.25" for a seam allowance. I've decided to make it slightly longer than I first thought so a trip to spot light was in order... </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After alot of cutting and sewing, I've created a couple of bunting that equal to 14 metres! However it is all one sided. Might stitch it together to make a double sized one now I'm not in a rush to meet a birthday party and put it in his bedroom... but that requires a quilt to match???</span></span><br />

Or perhaps it's more the fact I ran into a more challenging part on the quilt I was cutting the day before. <br />
<br />
I started my sock monkey quilt and didn't quite have the fabric I needed so tried to use what I had in my stash but the matching solids just didn't do what I envisioned. Here's how I first placed it.<br />
</span></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="bloggerplus_image_section"></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_image_section" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-nqJxJD_xi14/T4IWPf-8GbI/AAAAAAAAAoE/wWH4ZAKEhlw/EAD033F7-3633-42C5-9F11-0764C16A4A90.jpg" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But decided that the bright solids are just TOO much. So I had a little play and came up with a few other options then posted them on our Facebook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/200192843336376" target="_blank">Quilt Club Australia</a> and I've decide to try this way...</span></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="bloggerplus_image_section"></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_image_section" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Ix_OY-94HyM/T4IWL3aXbdI/AAAAAAAAAn8/vpZasWc9xFE/8ABDAF9F-47B9-420D-8560-FBF0424FC62F.jpg" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just need to work out HOW to do it so all my little squares line up. <br />
<br />
And that is where I got up to on THAT one :-)<br />
<br />
Last night I watched a you tube clip from Missouri Quilt Co which made me tear into my stash again.</span></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="bloggerplus_youtube_section"></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_youtube_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><object><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/R685a6CDyCg' ></param><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true' ></param><param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always' ></param><embed allowfullscreen='true' type='application/x-shockwave-flash'' src='http://www.youtube.com/v/R685a6CDyCg' allowscriptaccess='never' value='true' wmode='transparent' width='512' height='341' ></embed></object></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So you can see after watching the other 3 parts I just had to try it. So out came the bug stash. I used 4 fat quarters and ended up with this...</span></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="bloggerplus_image_section"></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_image_section" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ARVDpEdS6PI/T4IWIE44TkI/AAAAAAAAAn0/7l4PxYUIECU/567AD683-5F45-4FA3-B2F5-1514C28DCF6E.jpg" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</span></div></div><div align="left" class="bloggerplus_text_section" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for for a trip to spotlight to get some fabric to use as a border, the backing and batting *never done that part before so extremely nervous* <br />
<br />
Wish me luck! <br />
