SWAP REQUIREMENTS
-We are swapping 5" fabric squares OR 2.5" fabric squares, also called Charm Squares or Mini Charm Squares respectively, from quilting cotton fabric scraps in our stashes, based on your partners wishes.

-There is no crafted component required for this swap.

-We are shipping via regular envelopes using a standard postage stamp, which covers 1-ounce of weight. Each package should contain a minimum of 3 Charm Squares or 12 Mini Charm Squares, but may include more if you wish, up to 1-ounce. (I tested with my kitchen scale and a few different greeting cards in my stash. A lighter weight card & envelope could take 26 Mini Charms, to reach .95 ounces, while a heavier card & envelope could take 12 Mini Charms for the same .95 ounces.)

-Participants may request a mix of Charms & Mini Charms, and senders can mix it up as long as what they send equals the same amount of fabric. For our purposes 1 Charm Square = 4 Mini Charm Squares, since one Charm can be cut down into for Minis.

-Extras are actually discouraged in this swap in order to keep it fast and simple. If you choose to send them, or if you choose to send more/larger scraps, your partners are not required to reciprocate.

-For this swap you are allowed to have multiple swap partners. Since the requirements and shipping costs are so low, and since I expect this to be an overall small swap, I will allow folks to sign up for as many partners as they wish, up to 10.

:camera_flash: Since tracking numbers are not available for envelopes, ALL swappers are required to take a picture of their packages as proof of sending, and to include the pictures in their PM, stating that they have sent.

Finally, since this swap will only have the cost of stamps, for sending packages, I strongly urge folks to consider being willing to send international, even if they normally do not opt to in swaps. Current cost of USPS International Stamps are $1.50.

Iā€™m debating. I have been terrible at using my squares from the last round but the FOMO is real. Maybe just a couple partnersā€¦

pondering the number of partners vs time vs what to do with the charm/mini charm squares. Still pondering.

I was so inspired by the scrappy tote that @tendstowardschaos madeā€¦I definitely am going to use mine for that using her tutorialā€¦BUT, I also loved the mini wall quilt made by @photojenn ā€¦

I was gifted a tub full of charms so I have plenty to share!

Edited to add: I just saw that @Abbeeroad made a cute pouch out of some of the last round fabrics!!! Another inspiration!

I did! Using @Magpieā€™s awesome gift bag tutorial!

Remember: You wonā€™t be adding anything to your stash. Nothing to take up more room. Youā€™ll be receiving the same amount you send. Youā€™ll just be changing up whatā€™s in thereā€¦ :innocent:

Not me, I will be cutting at least one of everything for myself, HA! Iā€™m making cushion backs to use with the Grateful Dead blocks @sloth003 sent me so both side are groovy. & I LOVE the bag that @Abbeeroad made, definitely on my list!

As the recipient, I can attest that itā€™s gorgeous. It has me itching to make some more.

I made a scrappy scarf for Kwality570 last year that was a fun & practical use of little fabric scraps. I may need to make one for myself.

I see what you did here. Tagging me so I have to participate in my first LC swapā€¦

I love seeing the bitties of fabric I sent in that lovely scarf. Thatā€™s half the fun of this, seeing what someone else makes with part of your stash!
Iā€™m adding @AIMRā€™s hexie linen hand towels to my project list for this too, I love those.

Ya, @sloth003, everybody here wants into your fabric hoard, no lie.

And you may be able to spot the blocks made from the mini charms I received. One I sent overseas got lost and an angel stepped in. Then months later it was returnned to me, so I had even more.
