Fat quarter challenge secret swap

Our last challenge of 2017 is the Fat Quarter Challenge Secret Swap. That long title says it all- a challenge that’s a swap with an exchange at our holiday party!!

To join in the fun just bring a fat quarter of your own fabric to the October meeting. We will randomly and secretly swap fabric and you’ll go home with your partner’s FQ and the challenge to make “something(s)” for your partner using their own fabric. The goal is to use as much of the fat quarter as possible, adding in your own fabrics, as desired/needed. The “swapping back” of finished item(s) will take place in two months at our December 14th Holiday meeting. Please bring your creation(s) wrapped and tagged.

To help with ideas as to what to make for your partner, at the October meeting each swapper will complete an info card (see attachment) with their likes, dislikes and suggestions for possible item(s) they would like made for them from their FQ, such as pouch, mug rug, pincushion, thread catcher, mini quilt, needlebook, project bag…..etc. Feel free to print out and complete the info card and bring it to the meeting along with your fabric. There will also be info cards available to fill out at the meeting.

We have started a Pinterest board called “The Little Things”, accessible HERE Please pin ideas or tutorials that you find. If you are on Instagram, you might want to check out all the swapping fun at #thelittlethingsswap2017.

Not able to attend the guild meeting on October 12th? Just send a FQ and completed info card to the meeting with a guild mate and we’ll be sure to include you in the challenge/swap.
