Do you have an Ugly?

One of my favourite stories as a child was of The Ugly Duckling - What a lovely story and a fantastic ending.


Most of us have a number of Ugly Fat Quarters in our stash which we bypass everytime we choose fabric for a project. Have you ever wondered what will become of these uglies? In our quest to be frugal Jenny and I have decided to put together a new swap for you called the Ugly Fat Quarter Swap. Using items that we already have in our stash. Here are the details :-

The Ugly Fat Quarter Swap - The Ugly Duckling that turns into the beautiful swan !!

Hostesses :- Fiona & Jenny

The Challenge :-

Send the ugliest fat quarter in your stash along with some matching trim and some embellishments like buttons, beads etc along with a chocolate for added inspiration and nourishment to your partner by the 7th March 2010. Please make sure that the fabric is sealed in a zip lock bag. Your partner may add 1 other fabric of their choosing and will create a beautiful project to send back to you by the 29th March 2010.

The Rules :-

Participants must reside within Australia and must have a current active blog.


This is a direct swap and e-mailing one another is very much expected.


Please try to create something that you would like to receive.


Sign-Ups Close 7pm AEST on Sunday 28th February 2010.


Partners will be released Monday 1st March 2010.

Take the Swap Badge from this post and put in your side bar.


To sign up e-mail Fiona or Jenny

with your name, address and blog address.

Come and Join us on this adventure !!
Hugs,

Boo-hoo, I was all ready to sign up and then saw your instructions - I'm from the UK!!! I wish you all lots of fun though sounds like a great idea.

Sounds like fun but also a challenge. One person's "ugly" is another one's "gorgeous". It will be interesting.
