FQ&F's - Halloween

My Favorite!!

Halloween fabrics are starting to show up in stores! Yay! For this swap, you will have 3 partners. You buy 1 yard of 100% cotton fabric (or use one from your stash) and cut it into 4 fat quarters, one each for 3 partners and one for you to keep. The theme for this swap is Halloween.

It can be:

• Pumpkins w/ faces, Black cats, Bats, Hocus Pocus, Witchy-Poo's, Haunted House, Silhouettes in costumes, Vintage Repro's, a mixture of all of the above, Polka Dots-Swirls-Stripes in Halloween colors, Owls, Harvest Moon n Stars. Things that go bump in the night!

  NO plain solid color fabrics because anybody can buy those anywhere. No clothing or linen pieces allowed. It must be fabric! Sender's choice. Check your partners profile for ideas or wishes!

I'm giving plenty of time before this swap is active- so you can scout and gather your materials while they're in stores now. A lot of people do their holiday sewing in the Summer (I do). I am also setting up the send date a month ahead of time in case those wish to do sewing before the actual holiday/celebration.

If your not sure if a fabric will be acceptable- feel free to PM me or leave a comment below. I'm happy to do a private swap if you really want some Halloween related fabric too. I understand that not all countries have type of fabric, which is why I have broadened the theme - so again, if in doubt - ask! :O)

It's is NOW required to include a small note- it can be really frustrating when there's no note attached to the swap item and it leaves the recipient guessing which swap this package/item is from? Some folks are in more than 1 fabric/sewing type groups. It doesn't have to be a notecard- it can be on a simple sheet of scrap paper, post-it sticky, simple stationery or even printed out. A swap card is acceptable too! So please remember to include a note in your package/mail. No one should have to back track. It only takes a few moments! Thanks!

As always, it's fun to send little extras like sewing supplies or notions something relating to your partner's profile, etc., but it is not mandatory.

You must be a member in good standing of the Fabric Art Divas group and must have a rating of 4.9 or higher and NO unexplained 1's AT ALL and no 3's in the past 3 months.

You must also have completed at least 10 "real mail" swaps (email swaps and postcards don't count), so, sorry - No Newbies. Also, you must have a decently filled profile and I WILL be checking profiles. This is International.

If there any flakers- I will ban you from future FAD Group: FQ&F's series swaps.

This is an on-going series! Feel free to PM me for suggestions Or if you have any questions.
