It’s your choice what to make. You won’t be crafting to a list of themes. Make something great! But please stay away from any polarizing themes such as politics or religion.

I’m on vacation this week but hoping I can play around early next week before sign ups close. If not, I’ll be watching the gallery with my nose pressed against the glass…

I started some experiments for this today! I have no idea whether I’ll have anything swappable at the end of them, but they were fun :woman_scientist:t2:.

I really expected more people to join this. It’s such a fun idea!

me too, but there is still a week for signups and there is a long crafting time so maybe more folks will sign up.

I’m definitely considering joining this swap! In my search for fabric based ATCs, I came across a site called Dotty Textiles that appears to host a textile based ATC swap. I’ve really enjoyed looking through their galleries. They’ve had some fun themes and it’s neat seeing the different interpretations. This month’s theme is Castle Ruins. I’m looking forward to seeing the gallery when they get it up!

I am feeling inspired. I’ve never made an ATC! Guess I’ll send over my questionnaire and give it a try :slight_smile:

Ahh! Plan C works! :hugs: It’s probably flat enough to send letter rate, though – is that okay here, @geekgirl? Just trying to figure out how many/where I’m prepared to send.

2 Likes

yep, as long as it fits letter rate criteria, that is fine!
