At our January meeting, we announced our latest swap, a Paper Bag Mini Swap. If you missed the meeting or forgot to pick up a bag, I’m sharing the information we gave out so everyone has the chance to join. Also if you are at our Saturday Shopping Field Trip on Saturday the 30th I’ll have the last few bags with me.
In this swap, you stuff a paper lunch bag with 5 fat quarters of fabric that you would like your partner to use to sew a mini quilt for you! Your partner’s challenge is to use all of the
given fabrics on the front of the quilt (in any amount) and can add up to 2 more fabrics (in any amount) to make a mini wall quilt that is a maximum 24″ on any given side.
There is no minimum size for the finished product if you want to sew tiny, but use those
fabrics well and create something your partner will love to see on their wall! Make sure to put a slip of paper with your name and social media information (i.e. username on Instagram, etc) and put it inside the bag with your fabric – no identifying marks on the outside of the bag please. Note this swap is for njmqg members only.
If you are going to miss the February meeting it is fine to have someone else bring your bag and get your partner’s bag.
Timeline:
– Empty bags distributed January 21
– Bags returned filled February 18 & redistributed
– Finished mini quilt returned & revealed at April meeting
Happy Sewing!
