Quilting Related Swaps?

Hi Ya'll! I'm a crafter and quilter, and I was wondering if there are any quilting related swaps in the past or ongoing.

New, new, newbie here (just since yesterday, but hey, a few posts so far and two projects in the que waiting approval) and trying to figure out how to "search" the boards to see if these types of swaps have already been done.

Thinking I'd like to swap some small amounts of 100% cotton for quilting with others here in the US (just like a FQ or something.

Wondering,

To search boards you need to go to projects tag.
At the bottom of the page are category tags.review How to's

We haven't ever had a straight 100 percent quilt fabric swap.Lots of destash swaps.
Hope this helps

Yeah we've had a lot of swapping fabric stashes, but non strictly fabrics, though I think a Fat Quarter Swap would be fun, I have a whole bunch left over from a project, lol.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Pam, seems like you are "in the know" so can I ask you-- who organizes swaps? Maybe I can contact them and see if they wanna do one. Once I get the hang of stuff around here, I won't ask so many questions and can actually HELP do some organizing, but that's silly to offer to do one now, I suppose.

Smiles, Maytag Suzanne

Lots of vets are organizing swaps all the time Happy And if you want to become a vet, you just need to do a few swaps and post on the boards regularly. You could always request a swap, too. There's a Swap Request thread floating around somewhere!

Anyone can make a swap, usually its the Vets who get them going, but most the time when newbies start their first swap they have a vet be the co-host to help point them in the right directions with things and are there to help out with any Q's. If you wanted to make your own swap, I'd suggest doing the Newbie Vs Vet Swap 1st to get a feel for how it works and then when that's finished get a swap started with a helpful vet ^_^ But that's just a suggestion
