The sign ups are now officially open for the Anna Maria Horner Aussie Charm Swap! Anna Maria has some of my favourite fabrics and I think 112 of her fabrics mixed together will be quite simply - amazing!
Here are the details:
1) FIRST IN, BEST DRESSED! This swap will be open to 56 participants, me being one of those! You HAVE to email me to obtain a spot. Your spot is not confirmed until you have received a return email from me! All of AMH's QUILTING COTTON fabric lines except for the SOLIDS can be included. The included lines are listed below.
2) Each spot is 2 AMH fabrics, 1 yard of each, and I strongly suggest that you purchase at least 1/4 yard more in case of any cutting mistakes you might experience. Better safe than sorry.
3) Fabric must be new and unwashed and from a smoke free environment.
4) Press your fabric and
remove the selvages before cutting. Cut your yardage into 5 inch squares (56 per yard) total = 112 charms. You can follow the great tutorial on how to cut your charms from yardage by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh, Frannson! found
here. Please sort your charms in to pairs, as demonstrated in this photo:
5) Post them out to me by 31ST OF JANUARY. Put them in a Ziplock bag and include your 112 charms, an index card with your name, mailing address and email address (in case your package opens up, your charms will stay safe and dry and your contact info will get them back to you. You must post them to me using a PRE-PAID SATCHEL. You must also include a SELF ADDRESSED PRE-PAID SATCHEL so that your charms can be mailed back to you. Unfortunately due to the cost and complexity of shipping back internationally, this swap will be for Australian/Kiwi participants only. Kiwi participants will be required to send a return shipping satchel, and will be invoiced via Paypal for return postage.
Once I receive them all I will sort and return a stack of 112 different charms to each participant! You can sign up for ONE SPOT, however, if there are spots remaining after a few days, I will open up those remaining spots to existing swap members. They will be in the mail to you 2-3 weeks later. I will be aiming to have them all in the return post by end of January/start of February - fingers crossed!
6)
Very important!!! Please choose fabrics that have not been claimed by another swap member. Please join the
MS MIDGE AUSSIE CHARM SWAP FACEBOOK GROUP - Once you have had your spot CONFIRMED, then check in the FB photo album before purchasing fabrics to see what has already been chosen; we want to avoid duplicates. Once you have chosen your fabrics please post pictures, with the Fabric line and specific print/colour information to the Facebook group Photo Album. Once you've chosen your fabrics make sure you add the photos AND include the name/description of them.
7. There is a $5 fee per swap spot. This is to be paid via Paypal, once your spot is confirmed.
So who wants to join in on the Anna Maria Horner fabric fun?

Here are all the Anna Maria Horner fabric lines that are included in this swap. Remember, no SOLIDS fabrics. Some of the older lines are a bit hard to find, but Google is your friend! I have popped a little old blog button down the bottom of the post if you'd like to add it to your social media!
