I have created an Event called Anything Goes Swap, so go sign up now! We will take sign ups until March 31, 2024 and start swapping shortly after that.

Do you have fabric that has been sitting around since forever? Do you have duplicate tools, magazines or whatever that is just sitting there? Then, I say it’s time to pass it on! Take all these goodies, put them in a large Flat Rate box, they’re under $20 to ship, and send it on its merry way to another quilter. Who knows what goodies you might find in there? Take what you want from the box, fill it up and send it out again! Get the idea?

Great! Then let’s get started! Please, let’s do this in the US only as it is very expensive for our international members to ship back and forth to us. But if you want to do a version of it over there, please feel free to do so!

Please contact me at thepinkquilter@gmail.com to sign up. I will create a list and send it out on April 1, 2024. The box will go out shortly after that. DO NOT POST TO THE GROUP as it’s hard to find, you MUST email me to sign up. We will have a chat group set up especially for this group.

I really should not have to mention this but there are some RULES to follow:

1. Everything that goes in the box must be of good quality, something that you, yourself, would like to receive. No junk or yard sale items please. Should be sewing or craft related.

2. What comes out of the box must be replaced with something of like quality. Let’s not be greedy!

SHIPPING: You have the option of sending a regular Flat Rate Box or a regular box, whatever is within your budget. I do know that the Flat Rate Box fees have gone up recently, so a regular box is fine and may be actually a little cheaper to send.

As with all swaps, we will be posting to each other via private email. I will set a group (private email) up where we can keep track together. You must post receive and send dates along with tracking number. I will have a copy of the Master List and will be checking in to make sure that the box is on its way.

Once we have a list of players ready and we are committed to the swap, then I will send a Master List of players and their addresses. As the box comes and goes, each swapper will need to check off their name, date it, post pictures, to the group, and mail it on Mailing date and tracking must be posted to the group. The box will come back to the original sender full of goodies! Please read the Swap Guidelines for more information.

COMMUNICATION: In order to be involved in a swap, you have to communicate with everyone especially when you are sending out your swaps and receiving. We believe in giving everyone a chance to participate in swaps, but:

1. If you decide that you are not able to do the swap, please have the courtesy to let me know before the deadline, and it can be arranged.

2. If something happens during the swap and you’re not able to follow through please let us know and we can possibly help you out. We cannot help if you don’t let us know.

3. Please note that you will be given several chances to decide to stay or leave before the swap starts, and if you decide after the swap has closed, and you have not let me or the hostess know that you are not able to do the swap, you will be banned from swapping.

4. If you drop from the swap in the middle of a swap and do not let me or a swap moderator know that is cause for being banned from the group. That is not only rude but unfair to all the other swappers that are counting on you!

Thank you!
