NFS: September Fabric Charm Stash Builder

Lots of us are looking to build our stash (whether we need to or not), so let's start with what I hope will be a monthly fabric charms swap. "Charms" are simply cut squares of fabrics to give you a little sample of different patterns.

This month will be SENDER'S CHOICE of patterns/colors.

We will:

• Send neatly & accurately cut 5 inch squares (12.7 centimeter squares).

• Send 10 charms to each of 2 partners.

• EDITED TO ADD: Please make each of the 10 charms different from one another. No duplicates within the 10 charms to each partner. Thanks!

• Indicate to your partner whether the squares are washed or unwashed

• Send good quality fabrics, 100% cotton as would be used for quilting

• Send on or before the swap deadline. On the rare occasion that you may need to send a bit late, please contact your partner before the swap deadline has passed.

• Include the swap name and your user name in your package to make rating easy for your partner.

• Kindly rate your partner in a timely manner, please.

• Have fun sharing your fabric stash!

What can you do with fabric charms? There are LOTS of options! Here's some inspiration.
