I have a dumb question. Do you want fabric that is blue and yellow, or one piece of blue and one piece of yellow? As much as I love this combination, I don't think I have one thing in my stash that is blue and yellow. I will look again.

Why do I have to make everything so difficult!!!! LOL

For those who want to precut, how many total? And can we send them in just one baggie in order to reduce the size of envelope and amount of postage. I'm beginning to feel the cost of postage! Because $4.60 to mail there and another $4.60 to mail back adds to the price of the fabric.

I mailed out 4 items this past week. I'm trying to behave and limit the swaps that I'm in.

I agree with Evie. I know that the charms being already seperated by sets in it's own baggie will help the host and make it easier to divide but with the cost of mailing everything now I'd like to see it where we could put them in two baggies (one for each fabric). That way when they are taken out of the bag you would still have a baggie to place them on with our names attached to it so it wouldn't be so confusing. Anyone else with any thoughts on this?

A charm is a square piece of fabric. The mfg have been cutting 'charms' lately of their fabric lines. We cut our own and swap them with each other. Right now we have 5" charms & 8" charms being signed up for. Each hostess picks the fabric type ie: theme like Christmas or Valentines, or color group, or solids, or batiks, or flowers and she also picks the size of the square. There are many patterns on the market right now that use these tiny pieces of fabric to make beautiful items.

Does that help?
PS. There is no dumb question, they are just 'fact finding information questions'.
