Facebook based mini swap (UK only)

-

Yep, I've gone mad...

 The Instagram swap has not yet fully finished before I kick off another swap, this time Facebook based.

 When sign-up closed yesterday evening 104 swappers had signed up. Everyone has now been allocated a partner to make for and the emails with all details should be sent out today or tomorrow.

Saw this idea of a mini quilt swap on bear paw but see I have missed the boat this time. When will the next one be and how do I sign up please?
Thanks, Katie x

Katie,

The next one is likely to be for active Instagram users. Likely sign-ups during or just after the summer, with send date most likely November (before the Christmas chaos starts). If you are on Instagram, follow me there (bossyoz) and you should hopefully spot when sign-ups start.

For the next Facebook based one, keep an eye on UK Quilters United! I have added you as a member of the group. Lots of inspiration and friendly advise! Once the next swap starts I'll open up the mini swap group on Facebook again for new people to join.

Both versions will also be announced here on the blog. Typically sign ups are open for a week.

Fat quarter bundle - Sew Sea

Mmmm, I quite liked the challenge over at Quokka Quilts to create a fat quarter bundle with my favourite fabrics at the Fat Quarter Shop . Sounds easy, right? I promise you, it wasn't! When you have "millions of fabrics" to chose from, it's neigh impossible to only select 15, which all has to match with each other for a potential quilt. To limit the choices, I decided to go for a blue theme. Blue is always fresh, it reminds me of holiday and of the sea, it can work for grownups as well as boys and for girls (if adding in e.g. some red). At the time I started the selection there were surprisingly few blue fat quarter bundles. OK, here it is: Such a great marketing move by the guys at the Fat Quarter Shop!!!  Last day for entries in 15 January, but they already have over 300 entries! Wonder how many have created their bundles, and bough some fabric at the same time? Due to the huge interest, the FQS is going to select three (was one) winners who each get 1...
