Mini Mania Quilt SWAP

I’m super excited to share that I’m officially hosting another SWAP on Scrappy Girls Club. Selecting the item to swap is always hard but I’m happy to report that this time we are exchanging mini quilts. Welcome to the Mini Mania Quilt SWAP!

Mini quilts are easy to make, cute to hang and perfect for using up smaller scraps. I consider them a go to quick-hitter afternoon sewing project and I love to exchange them with friends.

My collection hangs front and center in my works space on the wall behind my machine. This way, I can be reminded of my sewing friends near and far.

 

Mini Mania Quilt SWAP details:

 

WHAT/SIZE: Every participant will make and receive a mini quilt ready to hang on their wall. The pattern/style is makers choice and can be anything that displays your creative point of view. For this SWAP it is highly encouraged that you keep your design “scrappy”.  The finished mini should be no larger than a fat quarter.

WHEN: Sign Up’s are happening NOW through June 11th, 2016. All packages must be shipped to partners by July 2nd, 2016.

WHERE: Everywhere! The Mini Mania Quilt SWAP is open to everyone. Each participant will be paired with a partner in their general area to keep shipping costs low.

WHO: All fabric scrap lovers and stitchers are welcome! Please remember when joining any swap, your partner may have a different skill level. We offer helpful hints, technique based tutorials and because of our community atmosphere, you are able to get help and ask questions along the way.

Price: $5 per SWAP

** Please note sign ups are now closed.  Click here to subscribe to our newsletter and never miss the party again!**

 

Scrappy Girls Club Group: As many of you know community is very important to me. So, I formed a private Facebook community for us to chat directly with others and share with each other.  Inside the group you can share projects you are working on or have finished, meet and get to know the members from around the world, share inspiration, and participate in additional group events. Everything is in one spot- simple and easy to use on your computer or smart phone.

And here’s how it will work:

The Mini Quilt Swap is open for sign ups until June 11th, 2016.  Once signed up you will be sent a quick questionnaire to help us pair you with the perfect sewing buddy.  Then it’s time for us to get to work partnering you with the perfect sewing buddy. All participants will receive a special label for you to attach to the back of your mini quilt. This label will be sent with your partner’s information and can be printed from any home computer.

Need Inspiration? Never fear, we’ll have you covered! Keep your eyes peeled for a round up of free mini quilt patterns.

While waiting for your swap partners information, you can start to gather your materials and select a mini quilt pattern to make for your partner.  Swap partner information will be emailed June 18th, 2016 and all packages must be posted by July 2nd, 2016.

If you have never joined a SWAP before I have a great article on SWAP Etiquette and how they work. In the meantime, remember our Scrappy Girls Club Community page is always open. Feel free to stop by anytime to chat with other members and share how you are using your scraps! You can share any time during the day, we are always open.

Please remember to take pride in your work by trimming off any loose threads and think about how the person receiving this special package will feel when opening. Including a small treat, sewing notion or scrap bundle is totally encouraged and will be much appreciated by your partner!

Why should you be part of “the mini quilt swap” ?

Who doesn’t love a handmade gift?! By joining the Mini Quilt Swap, you will not only be exchanging a mini quilt but you will be partnered with a sewing buddy that shares your passion, understands your need for fabric and totally cringes when cutting into their favorite fabric. Basically, someone who “get’s it”!

This is a swap that fits your schedule, has members who are passionate about sewing and gets you excited about to start your next great project.

You are encourage to keep in touch with your new sewing buddy after our mini’s have been exchanged and are welcome to join our private facebook group. Inside the group, you can upload pictures, ask questions and meet other members. If Instagram is more your speed, be sure to share your projects & happy mail using the hashtag #scrappygirlsclub  you can follow on Instagram here.

Come join the fun with me and Scrappy Girls Club!
