AisforAmy/Emmaswaps

I don't know about you, but I love coasters! And I'm constantly finding myself making some up to keep and then end up giving the finished product away. So I figure that since I'm always giving sets away, why not set it up so I get a set in return? Sound fun?

Let's get the not so fun, but necessary stuff out of the way first, shall we?

You should have, at least, a 4.9 rating. No unresolved 1's. No no-sends. I will check profiles before I assign partners. If you are a newbie, you must send me a message before joining. I am limiting this swap to the USA. Please feel free to send me a message if you would like me to answer any questions. I will do my best.

Now, for the fun stuff!

I'm not providing a "theme" for this swap. The coasters made will be sender's choice. It would be nice to keep your partner's color preferences in mind, but it is ultimately, up to you! Use your imagination. :)

The only requirements are that there be at least 4 sewn, fabric coasters. If you want to sew more than four for your partner? Sew more! It's up to you. But you must sew at least 4 fabric coasters.

Postage: No boxes are needed. A flat envelope will do. (I would highly suggest using a bubble envelope as it will provide a little extra protection against the machine the USPS uses to sort mail.)
