Description:

If anyone wants to host an international version, please feel free to borrow.

Everyone knows that quilters are artists. So for this swap, you’ll decorate the back of an envelope like a quilt (front decoration optional). Use markers, decorative tape, stamps, pens, collage, etc. for the quilt design -- your choice of media. Add a nice small fabric surprise inside this envie, and mail it to your partner. Fun, right?

The fabric surprise must be a good quality, clean, unused 100% cotton (you know, suitable for the "quilty pleasure" swap theme -- send the quality you'd like to receive). No blends, linens, flannel, fleece, kiddo, or holiday fabrics this time. IDEAS: multiple charms or mini charms, fat eighth, other small fabric cuts. Now if you want to send more, go for it – there’s no rating down for that.

FYI ☆ I review all profiles. Not expecting issues, but I’m happy to angel if you’re flaked on. Simply let me know after you attempt resolution with your partner but ultimately rate them a 1. Problem Swapper FAQs

Quick question! Do you decorate the back of the envelope like a quilt and then mail it in a different envelope? Or mail it in the envelope with the quilty fabric on the back?

@shannonlinde you decorate the back of the envelope, add a small fabric surprise inside it, and mail this decorated envie to your partner. There's no extra envelope.

Just wondering ~ what about the front? Can we deco the front too?

Heirloom 04/ 5/2014 #

Sure! The back is a requirement, so the front is optional. I'll add that to the description. (thanks)
