Description:

For the month of February, the theme for the surprise FQ will be the colour green. Find your partner a lovely green cotton FQ that she might use for a St Patrick's Day project next month. This is an international Swap so be prepared to send internationally. It is also senders choice so you may begin hunting for the perfect green fabric immediately.....or maybe you have some in your stash already? Put together a perfect package for your partner which will include:

  • One beautiful fresh green FQ
  • Something green (sewing related)
  • Some green trim or ribbon (2 yards or more)
  • A surprise (sewing or non sewing.....any colour)

As this swap is completely senders choice, you may begin to assemble your swap as soon as you sign up. As always, think flat and light like patterns, transfers, book marks, stationery, favourite recipes etc.

Details: If you will be late to send out your swap, please let your partner know. Life happens sometimes, and communication is key to avoiding any misunderstandings. Please remember to mark you swap sent only after you have dropped it in the post box or at the post office.

Ratings: Please rate with the same courtesy that your would like extended to you. It is generally appreciated that if you feel your swap did not meet requirements, that you contact your partner and come to an agreement on how to proceed.

Edited: changed send date to one week later to give a two week send period.

As it only has a week to send and I am due to give birth near then I will not be playing. If it was two weeks I could guarantee that even if I gave birth early with complications I could send on time.

Oh, thank you! Wasn't trying to pressure you to change it, I was just letting you know why I wasn't joining even though I had expressed interest earlier.

No worries.....no one had signed up yet and you don't get to have a baby just any day......and it was no bother at all. Best wishes!

Little Red, I'm a little unclear in the wording of your swap -- do you mean a green FQ and one each of the bullet pointed items? Or do we choose one of those items to send?

LittleRed 01/17/2013 #

Hello @junemoon ...the swap you send your partner should contain four items. The first is your green FQ...second will be something green which is sewing related (could be a green note pad in a sewing motif, could be green embroidery floss, could be a green measuring tape etc). Third item will be green ribbon, piping, Rick rack etc...and forth item can be anything.

Thanks, okay, got it.

can i ask about the measuring of FQ with centemiters please?

LittleRed 01/23/2013 #

Hello @Sierasita The metric equivalent is 46cm X 56cm. A Fat Quarter here in Canada is usually cut as a quarter of a meter so it would be very slightly larger. Your FQ should be at least the size listed above. To see how a FQ is cut from a yard or meter of fabric....look here
