Bonnie & Camille Fabric Swap Sign-ups!–SWAP IS FULL
SWAP IS FULL!
Emails will be sent out tomorrow.
Here it is folks!–Judging by the great response, there are a lot of Bonnie & Camille fans out there! This is the official sign-up post for Round 1 of the swap–here are the details:
- This swap will be open to 40 participants (myself included). This swap will include fabrics from any of Bonnie & Camille’s fabric lines with the exception of Cotton Blossoms & Simple Abundance. You’ll find a complete list of the fabric lines we are using listed below.
- Each participant will purchase 3 yards of 1 Bonnie & Camille Fabric.
- Fabric must be new, unwashed, and from a smoke free environment.
- Cut your yardage into 10″ squares, 40 squares total. Press your fabric and remove the selvages before cutting.
- Ship the squares to me by June 24. This gives you 4 weeks to purchase the fabric, cut into squares, and ship them.
- Place your squares into a ziploc bag along with an index card listing your name, mailing address, and email address. Also include a self addressed, stamped envelope so I can mail your 10″ layer cake bundle back to you. I will not be billing anyone via paypal for the return shipping. Double check that the cost of your SASE is equivalent to the cost of mailing the squares to me. Priority shipping is required as the return package will weigh over 13 oz.
- This swap will only be open to US participants.
- Choose a fabric that has not been chosen by another participant. We want all the fabrics in our 40 piece layer cake to be different. All participants must join the Bonnie & Camille Fabric Swap flickr group. Once you have decided on the fabric you will using, check to make sure it has not been chosen by another member by checking the flickr group. If the fabric has not been chosen by another member, upload an image of the fabric, along with the fabric line and specific print/color information to the flickr group.
- You will receive a 40 piece layer cake bundle of 40 different 10″ squares of Bonnie & Camille fabrics.
Once I receive all of the squares, I will have everything back out in the mail to you in 2-3 weeks.
Some of you questioned the availability of some of the older lines we are using. I was able to find fabrics from even the oldest lines I had listed just by googling. Of course, your local quilt shop is a great place to check–I know mine have great selections of Bonnie & Camille fabrics. If you can’t find something older that’s fine!–Choose yardage from a newer line. =) Each line has between 35-40 different prints available–since we’re working with 7 different lines, that’s approx. 245 different prints!

I have sent my email and asked to join the flickr group! Off to stalk fabric stores!
Sent my address and email to you. How do you join Flickr?
Kay, are you talking joining for the first time? Go to http://www.flickr.com and there should be a “Sign Up” thingie in the upper left hand corner. It’s free so go for it. Once you sign up then come back to this post and click on her link to request acceptance to the group.
Hi Kay, Just wondering, do you need to belong to Yahoo to join Flickr or is there another way to join? Any advice greatly appreciated.
Sent info to join swap but I too need to know how to join Flickr.
Betty are you talking joining for the first time? Go to http://www.flickr.com and there should be a “Sign Up” thingie in the upper left hand corner. It’s free so go for it. Once you sign up then come back to this post and click on her link to request acceptance to the group.
Hi! I left a comment previously for the swap, but I live outside USA, so please cross me off the list!
Thanks, Leslie
I sent you two emails with half the info I each! Sorry!
I would like to join but do not know where to purchase the fabric in the Pittsburgh area. I thought I had sent this email previously.
I sent an email to join the swap but forgot to add my email address. Opps.
It’s jabeybaby @ yahoo .com
Here’s my e-mail requesting to join. How do you join flicker?

I can’t believe I missed the swap :(. Please let me know if you plan to do another one. Thanks.
Can’t believe I missed the swap. Didn’t get to my blog reading until after 10pm. Maybe next time.
So sad I missed it!!!!
Oh boo! Just now checking emails, since I’ve been busy with family this Memorial Day weekend. Please let me know if you do this again!
Hugs,
Gina
Oh bummer ~ I think I missed out. I checked my email too late. Sure hope you decide to make a second group – would really love to participate in this swap!!
Thanks,
Becky
If you do a round 2, let me know. There are a few LQS in my area that carry some older B&C lines. I didn’t even see this until tonight! That went fast!
Dang it-I was really hoping to do this but wasn’t online yesterday. Let me know if you do a round 2 or if you have anyone drop out.
so bummed I missed it – I even have a large enough chunk of the ”aqua dots” (white dots on aqua background) from ‘Bliss’ hoarded 🙁
