vintage sheet FQ swap 2013

after being involved in Kellie's vintage sheet FQ swaps in previous years, this year there has sadly been no swap. i have missed sorting through the sheet stash, cutting them up and popping them in the post... waiting in anticipation for the postie to bring a parcel of inspiring new-to-be designs in return.

so without further ado...

 

 

to get involved simply leave a comment with your email address. alternatively you can email me at zara-117(at)hotmail(dot)com and let me know that you're interested in joining in this swap.

i will email all participants as you sign up with more details on the swap.

please have your vintage sheet FQs in the post to me by the 31st October. i will aim to have the FQs swapped and in the post by the end of the following week.

you can choose to swap as many or as few FQs as you want. the number of FQs you send will be the number you receive back.

place your FQs into a parcel satchel. also include a self-addressed pre-paid post satchel so I can send your newly swapped FQs back to you.

pre-paid post satchels can be purchased from the post office in 3 sizes:

small satchel $8.25
holds up to 500g
35 x 22cm

medium  satchel $13.40
holds up to 3kg
40 x 31cm

large satchel $16.70
holds up to 5kg
51 x 43cm

(Australia Post prices)

the small sized satchel will fit approximately 15 FQs and the medium 3kg satchel will fit 50+ FQs.

now for the important details-

- a fat quarter (FQ) measures approximately 50 x 56cm. these can be ripped or cut to size from the sheet as long as they meet these measurements.
- sheets must be washed prior to being sent
- ensure FQs are free from marks, stains, rips or holes. please only send sheets you would be happy to receive
- please only send cotton or cotton blend sheets. no flannelette or polyester. do not send sheets with cartoon characters or any solid colours

with those who are overseas and want to join in: i'm not sure how the prepaid post satchels would work but if someone knows how and it's not too difficult then i'm happy for you to join in the fun too.

do share this swap. the more involved the greater the variety of sheets you will receive.

if you have any questions please ask.

 

 

i'm really looking forward to this swap, i hope you are too.
