Who's ready for another round of the Low Volume Charm Swap??? This fall Michelle, over at From Bolt to Beauty, and I are are back at it! Clearly from the pile below, one can never have enough Low Volumes.Sorry, to all my international friends, this is a last minute decision on our part and didn't allow the time for international shipping. One day we are going to get this right for you!
DETAILS:
Fabric Type: Low Volume
Fabric Size: 5 inch Charms
Participants: 28 Peeps, first come first serve! Don't wait :)
Timeline: Fabrics Due, Friday October 9th, 2015
Fabric Returned: Mailed out, Monday October 26th, 2015
Yield: 56 charms, 2 of each print
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:
- Each person will purchase 1 yard of fabric and cut it into 5 inch charm squares. 1 yard will yield 56 charms exactly, you may want to purchase 1.25 yards just in case of an oops when cutting.
- Scale matters, choose prints that will work with a 5 inch square (smaller prints work the best for charms!)
- Fabric should be designer label, 100% cotton, quilt shop quality fabric. (No Hancock's, Joann's, or Michael's fabrics)
- Fabric must be new and unwashed from a smoke free home.
- Before mailing cut the fabric into 56 - 5 inch x 5 inch charm squares. Press/iron before cutting to ensure accuracy. Unsure how to cut a charm, check out Sarah's Quilts tutorial.
- Send your fabric in a Ziploc bag with an index card with your name and email address.
- Upload pictures of your fabric to swap to our Flickr group and include the name of the fabric, designer, etc. This will help ensure we won't get duplicates of fabric and also, find out more about the fabrics we will be receiving. Or, if you really love one of the prints and just want more, you will know how to get more!
SHIPPING:
All participants must include a prepaid self-addressed, stamped envelope along with their charms when mailing. The best way is to include a prepaid priority mail envelope, if it fits it ships :) This will make it faster for us to get your fabrics back to you A.S.A.P!
Are you convinced yet? Head over to our Google Doc's page and sign up. Remember this is first come first serve. The first five extra peeps will be placed on an alternate list in case anyone drops out. Also check out our Flickr group to see what everyone is getting before purchasing your fabric!
If you really hate low volume, the term, or the fabric, head over to Ellison Lane to find out the details on how to host your own swap. The post is very helpful and includes lots of tips to help make your swap run smoothly :)

ReplyDeleteI tried to sign up and got on the sign-up page. I even agreed to the app but then couldn't get the app to work. Is there another way to sign up? Thanks.

ReplyDeleteA little late to the game here...If I'm on the waiting list, will you email me if a spot comes up?
ReplyDeleteI have had Westwood Acres' Inside Voices bundles arriving in my letterbox all year, so I'll be fine even though I am too far away to join in on your fun.
