Description:

Rummage through your fabric stash and share some of your scraps!

Send a minimum of 6 different scraps.
Scraps must be at least 5 in. by 5 in.
You will mail to two people.
You'll get back a dozen different fabric scraps to play with.

I've set this up as U.S. only because I want to make this a cheap and easy swap. I'm making it a quick turn around since you don't have to make anything. Just pick out the fabric to send and drop it in the mail.

If you don't have scrap fabric, but would like some, here's a way you can join us. Go to a wallpaper store and ask if they have any books that include sample home decorator fabric. Some stores will give the older books away. Or, go to a large fabric store. I just found out that the Fabric Place in the Boston area sells small sample scraps. The smaller ones they sell for 5 cents each. The larger ones they sell for 50 cents each. And there's always the remnant bin. You can get some fabric you like for cheap and share just a couple of scraps.

If this goes well, I may set up a monthly swap. The fabrics we share will be great for small projects or for quilt patches!
