Swap Participation Requirements

You must have the book The Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt: Inspiring Letters from Farm Women of the Great Depression and 99 Quilt Blocks That Honor Them by Laurie Aaron Hird.

You do not have to be participating in the Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt Sew-along to participate in the sew, but you must make your swap item in line with the swap requirements (which will mean you'll need the book).

The swap is totally random - I have no control over who you will be allocated - and you will only get one swap partner.

Please see below for more details about what you'll be swapping and what the timeframes are.

What You'll Swap

You will be required to make an item that features block(s) from The Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt - this may be a mug rug (click here to find out more about mug rugs), a mini quilt (maximum measurement 20" x 20"), a bag, a zipper pouch, a cushion, an apron. Something handmade that makes a feature of the block(s) from The Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt. (This is compulsory.)

You may decide to just use one block or you can use multiple blocks. The choice is yours, the only condition is that all blocks used must be from The Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt.

You may include swap parcel inclusions if you wish, this is not compulsory. If you are posting internationally please be mindful of the customs and quarantine laws of the country you are sending to. (If in doubt ask Google or your swap partner.)

Timeframe

Swap is open for registration from today until 6 December 2015.

You will be required to post your parcels in the following timeframe:

International: 12 - 15 January 2016 Domestic: 19 - 22 January 2016 All parcels must be posted by 22 January 2016.

There's two postage cut offs to try and help parcels arrive around the same time so we can share in the excitement together. If you are unable to post during this timeframe please let me know, postage prior to 22 January 2016 is allowable where circumstances dictate, however all parcels must be posted by 22 January 2016.

Some General Swap Information and Etiquette

Give Unto Others

It should go without saying, but just so we’re clear: only swap material that you would be happy to receive yourself. This means swapping quilting quality material (preferably cotton). Using a mix of pattern and colour that you think your partner would like. (Obviously this one is a little subjective, so again if you’d be happy to use it swap it – if in doubt probably best to either contact the person you’re swapping with to see if they’d like it or maybe keep it for yourself.) Please take the time to read your partners information and if there's not enough information send them an email and try and find out more about their fabric, colour, pattern preferences.

Communication is Key

I understand that life sometimes throws you a curve ball and means that you can’t always do what you would like, so if for any reason you have to pull out of the swap just drop me (and if you’re so inclined) your partners an email to let me know and we’ll work around it. The more warning you can give the better so that I can redirect packages, etc.

Time is Money

Please post your Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt Swap Parcel to your swap partner by the postage date specified. If you’re anything like me just knowing that something is coming in the mail is uber exciting, so it would be great if all our packages arrive around the same time so that we can all celebrate together.

Quilt Karma

Ultimately a swap like this is only as good as what you put in to it so please remember to treat everyone as you would expect to be treated. Chances are if you shaft someone today, you’ll be shafted tomorrow.

Hi Peg & Flashcat - once sign ups close you will be allocated a swap partner in an email with all the details. Partners will be allocated 7 December.

I'm OK

bethward 11/29/2015 #

I'm looking forward to this.

ladydukes 11/29/2015 #

I completed the profile, etc. How do I know that I'm in the Farmer's Wife Swap, as it appears that what I see is a 'general' swap and not necessarily for Farmer's Wife?

ContraryHousewife 11/29/2015 #

Ladydukes, you must click on the Join Swap button above and follow the prompts that pop up. Then, on the right side of your profile you will be able to see what Swap(s) you are in.

Ryandemi 12/ 2/2015 #

waterpostair 12/ 4/2015 #

Omg! This is so nice! I am ok !

purtie26 12/ 5/2015 #

are you checking profiles some are not even filled out.

gnomeangel 12/ 5/2015 #

Yes @purtie26 I am. Everyone has been notified that if their profile is blank they'll be removed from the swap before partners are allocated.

Jennifer1938 12/ 8/2015 #

Ok. I've followed directions on Swap-Bot but they tell me I'm not currently in any swaps. When do I find out? Also I only received the email asking for confirmation of my email about half an hour ago. Jenny Reynolds.

Dmartinez56 12/ 8/2015 #

How do I find the profile of the person that I'm set up to swap with!

Dmartinez56 12/ 8/2015 #

Never mind! I found what. I needed!

mahgret 12/ 9/2015 #

normank0247 12/29/2015 #

I know I'm late to fine out my swap person but when I sign in it says, no swaps found. Did I do something wrong and not register right? Please let me know. Thanks, Marlene Sowatzke

Carolynberro 12/31/2015 #

Do not know where to look to find my partner. Help

Vcasltx 01/ 1/2016 #

I got an email saying I have a message from sewbyleann. Where do I go to get that message?

Dmartinez56 01/ 1/2016 #

vCasltx, at the top of this screen, you'll see a link to Messages right below the words Swap Bot.

Vcasltx 01/ 3/2016 #

Thank you. Don't know why I didn't see that.

JenniferB 01/ 7/2016 #

I noticed you received your swap MaryKup...are we supposed to have already sent? Especially internationally? From here to US will take at least two weeks or more to get there....am I in trouble then? 😧

Vcasltx 01/ 8/2016 #

Internarional Mail is suppose to be sent between January 12 -15, 2016.

maryvonne 01/10/2016 #

Hello

j'ai posté mon repose tasse . Dois-je cocher un endroit? merci pour votre réponse

Vcasltx 01/19/2016 #

Is there someplace to look to see if my swap partner has received the package I mailed. It was to the Russian Federation. I added tracking when I mailed but get a message that it can not be tracked in Russia.

JenniferB 01/21/2016 #

First and foremost, I'd like to give a big thank you to our coordinator @gnomeangle for giving 166 quilters new and older..lol, the opportunity to participate in this FWS 1930's Swap. I had much joy and fun. This was a wonderful experience! (Mind you, I am now a swapaholic!) Thanks again to all concerned in this effort. 💜

Most of all, I want to thank @hildy ..who ended up with me for her partner. Well, what can I say! Hildy went above and beyond. I will always treasure my surprise gift. Rating 5 plus a ❤️ does not express my gratitude for receiving such a lovely gift.. @hildy big hugs to you! 💜💜💜💜💜

rhonda57kay 01/24/2016 #

Mailed on Jan. 22nd. Should on Monday.

Magblosm 01/27/2016 #

Do we receive from the same person that we sent to? Or do we receive from someone else?

cheddarcheese123 02/ 1/2016 #

When do I start to worry... No parcel arrived, as yet? International postage is slow...3+ weeks, is that normal?

SueChapman 02/ 8/2016 #

Thank you Angie for organising this Swap! It was my first ever and I was so grateful to be a part of it! I had fun making my swap and lots of fun when my swap arrived from the US today Lori's gift was gorgeous and very generous! Thanks for letting me join!
