Many people who have commented on my giveaway post have expressed interest in the Australian designed fabrics we are giving away.
So I am proposing an International Fat Quarter Swap. People from different countries will be paired up and they get to send a fat quarter to each other which is typical of their country. Be it designed by someone of their nationality, printed in their country or contain a theme that is typical of their country. Obviously the stronger the link to your country the better!
If you would like to take part, please leave a comment with your email address and your nationality on this post. You will then be paired with someone from a different country and emails exchanged. Obviously you have to be willing to ship internationally for this to work!
Lets try and find the most unique and beautiful your country has to offer!
i'd love to do this! i'm american, possibly boring...but i'll do my best to pick something awesome!

Thanks A! And I'm sure you'll pick something wonderful! There are so many smaller American designers - such as Laurie from Scarlet Fig - that you could choose from!
ReplyDeleteCount me in... also American, but proud to be from Minnesota and I'll try to find something local! (are we pulling from our stash or buying new?)

I'd love to. I'm in the Southeastern United Sates and would love a swap with someone from another country. I've done Australia and would really love any other European swap.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I'd love to be involved with this. I'm trying to build up a stash with some interesting fabrics and this would be great.
ReplyDeleteI'm from the USA, Oregon. I'm sure I can find something fun from here.

I'd love to be in on this. Janelle from Australia (you already have my email addy).
ReplyDeleteI would love to swap from Tennessee, USA. Fabric designer Anna Maria Horner lives in my local area and has wonderful, colorful fabrics I could swap.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this. I'm in Canada...from the northern area (think Santa) and fortunately our local shop has lots of fabric suited to the area.

I think my email address says it all LOL!
Oh we have local fibre artists and one lady does a wonderful screen print panel that goes like hotcakes when the tourists come through. I need an excuse to buy one.
Oh, this sounds like fun! I'd love to take part. :) I'm in the US.
ReplyDeleteI'm in - I'm in Southern California, this will be really cool!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do this and I'm in Indiana USA but I have fabric from some of my travels to China and Brazil. That could work I think.

Thank you all so far for signing up! If you know anyone who lives somewhere exotic, or even not exotic, please spread the word :) You can purchase the fabric or take it from your stash - just try and think local and possibly unusual!
ReplyDeleteI'll leave it open for another few days and then send out the emails.

Very cool - I'm from Vermont, U.S.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic idea. Thanks for putting it together!
ReplyDeleteI live in the boring old US, but I will dig around for smaller designers, maybe someone from my home state or something.
Thanks,
Jaclyn
I think this is a grand idea. Add another American if you don't have too many of us already.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to join in on this too! I am from the east coast of Canada, Prince Edward Island (home of Anne of Green Gables)
