Are some of your fabric scraps overstaying their welcome in your stash? Does it seem like you never find that one color you need when you search your scraps?
There is a solution for you! At the May guild meeting....
Swap a Bag of Fabric Scraps!
To participate in the scrap exchange, fill a 1-gallon ziplock bag with assorted fabric scraps. The colors and prints you provide in your bag can be anything that you think a quilter would enjoy and use. Scraps should be quilting cotton quality, no smaller than 2″ x 4″ and no larger than a fat quarter. Be sure to stuff the bag full, in a neat fashion, and ziplock sealed.
All bags will be displayed on a table at the May 7th ABQMQG meeting at The Quilt Works store. Each participant will choose a bag in the order that your name appears on the sign in sheet. If you are first to sign in, you pick among all the bags that are contributed. The next person on the list picks from what is left, and so on.
If you attend the meeting by zoom and want to participate, please mail your gallon bag to Judie Pokakaa at 9104 Candelaria Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 before May 1st to make sure they arrive in time to be included in the exchange. After the May 7th meeting, the scrap bag you pick will be mailed back to you.
