Description:

Hello Happy Stitchers! The holidays are over and I have promised myself I will spend more time on my favorite hobby, cross stitching! Unfortunately, I don’t always have the time and space to attend to my larger projects, that’s why I LOVE mini projects. I have a small case that I keep in my bag that holds a mini project (usually the $1 ones you can find at A.C. Moore & Walmart) and the supplies I need to work it at given time (e.g. waiting rooms, stuck in traffic (husband driving), lunch break at work (when I get one), etc.).

So here's the deal for this swap:

We are going to create for our partner a Heart themed mini cross stitch piece in celebration of everything we love in our lives. Minimum size should be about 30x30, but it doesn’t have to be square shaped.

There are loads of free patterns online for hearts, or use a kit, or create your own pattern.

Finishing is optional. This does not have to be a finished project but if you do not finish the project then, threads should be worked in and trimmed and leave at least a 1/2 inch margin from stitching to the edge. To complete this swap and earn a 5, all you have to do is complete the project and mail it by deadline. If you finish the piece before sending it that should totally earn a heart!

Number of swap partners: 1

This swap is USA only and open to newbies with filled in profiles. Recent “1" ratings will be banned. If you have ANY “3" ratings I'm asking you to contact me BEFORE the sign up deadline and explain the situation. I will check profiles before assigning partners. I will angel if needed, but shouldn't have too.

Have Fun and Happy Stitching!!!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to PM.

I love this swap... but it is USA only like so many nice swaps lately..... so I cannot join it.... I know postage costs a lot, but for us in europe it is more common to spend a lot on postage. If I send something to Belgium, which is only like 50 miles away... it costs as much as sending something overseas to the USA. And it is not THAT expensive is it..?

Maybe you gals could set up a private heart cross stitch swap for this one? Or host an international group swap for hearts?

It really is a big difference in cost sending within the U.S. compared to internationally, can easily be double, triple, or quadruple the cost if the item is 3D and includes extras. But if it just a flat mini we could probably send internationally. From the U.S. for double or less. So I guess it just depends.
