The Flibbertygibbet Fabric Swap - Round 2!

As the swap seems to have gone swimmingly, with most people having received both packages and just a few still in transit (and one missing which is being rectified) , we're going to do it again!  You can see some of the swag here and here and here and here and if Blogger was cooperating I'd be able to show you more.  Oh, and there's the Flickr group too.

Hopefully lots of you will participate again, and I know that there are a few people who missed out in January who said they'd like to play this time around. 

What:
Send three co-ordinating strips of 100% cotton fabric, 10 cm/4 inches wide, cut from selvedge to selvedge which will be between 102-112cms/40-44 inches.  It would be nice to let your swap partner know whether the fabrics are prewashed or not. Check your partner's profile page to get a little more info about them and their tastes, plus there'll be a list of participants' blogs, where applicable, on here.  But otherwise it's a Forrest Gump swap, you never know what you're gonna get, so don't be too prescriptive.

Extras are optional but of course always welcome, if you look at the Flickr group you'll see the sorts of things that people sent last time if you're so inclined.

How:
Although it was fun drawing all the names out of a hat (ok, a Liberty bag) last time, I did end up switching some around so that you received packages from different people than you were sending to and then got my little self all confused.  So we're going to do it as a private swap on Swap-bot and in order to join, you need to email me for the link and password. You will also need to sign up for a Swap-bot account if you don't have one already - it's free.

When:
Sign-ups are open now, and will close on the 1st March, which is when you get the addresses of your swap partners, and your packages should be winging their way to the lucky recipients by the 20th of March.

What else:
Please get proof of postage, insurance is optional. Enjoy!


 

PS Can anyone help me to make a button for it? Can't remember how I did it last time!
