This past Spring I hosted an I Spy Swap and in the process made
some new friends and received some awesome fabric.
Christmas is just around the corner
and although I have several I Spy quilts made,
I'm still hoping to gather more fabric to complete the remaining quilts on my list.
In fact...here is my latest quilt in progress
and it used up ALOT of squares!
So being the resourceful Nana that I am...
I've "mustered up the gumption" to host another I Spy Swap.
As an added incentive...
every participant who mails their fabrics to me
with a post mark of October 15 (or earlier)
will automatically be entered in a drawing (the kitty)
to receive an additional
to receive an additional
40 Squares of I Spy fabric!
That's like a
free charm pack!

If you would like to join the 5" I Spy Swap here are the details.
* Purchase 1 yard of 3 different fabrics OR pull a mixture of I Spy fabrics from your stash.
Be sure the fabrics are 100% cotton, "quilt shop quality" novelty prints. No thin fabric
please or it will be returned un-swapped. No license prints, team prints or flowers.
Choose interesting items that children can easily recognize and only submit fabrics
you would want to receive.
* Pre-wash fabrics. Cut 120 - 5"x 5" squares being careful to maximize the design
in each square. Read this post for details on cutting your fabric.
* Mail 120 - 5 " squares (with return postage) no later than October 15th
to be entered in a drawing for the "kitty"
* Swap is limited to 40 spaces. To participate more than once, be sure to sign up twice.
* Receive 120 different 5 inch novelty squares the week of October 25th.
* Participants will receive an e-mail confirmation which includes a mailing address,
and can post their fabrics and projects at the Sew in Peace flickr group

In order to have a successful swap, mathematically we either need 20 or 40 participants.
I'm hopeful we can reach a total of 40 participants in the next few days.
If we do not reach a total of 40 before Oct. 15th
the swap will be limited to the first 20 who sign up.
If we do not reach a total of 40 before Oct. 15th
