Please post your swap ideas, when you would be interested in doing them (need to wait a week, a month?) If you are interested in hosting a swap, please post that too, as well as the number of participants you would like to have, what kind of swap it would be, (do we send to individuals, or to one mama who then divides?), etc.
I'll try to brainstorm and figure an orderly way to organize them, maybe by month, swap name, hostess, number of participants, something like that, for quick reference, so we can all plan ahead! I would love to see more swaps going on in here, I wish I had more time to devote to organizing and hosting them, I just won't until after we get our homeschool routine in order...
I can't wait to see the great ideas you gals post

Elemental square swap - air, fire, water, earth and spirit themed fabric.
"Back-Tack" swap/contest with a specific project selected (like a notions organizer or something). I'll post more on this later, but for now:
"Back-tack is a craft-come-sewing swap with a twist. You send fabric and anything else you'd like your partner to use in creating their project, like zippers, buttons, ribbon, to someone (they don't know who you are, you do this anonymously), and receive fabric from someone (anonymously). Once you've received your fabric/notions you get to work sewing the project (you'll be sewing for a different person than the one you sent fabric to) and then filling it with items you think your fellow back-tacker would like and sending it on to them for them to enjoy. You will be sending the project to a different person to the one who sent you the material."
