A Swap For All Seasons: some pretties for May

some pretties for May

I used this fabric on the recent prayer flag that I made, and it's so pretty that I went right back to it for May's sampler. I use so much pink in my creations, that this blue feels like a breath of fresh May air! I gathered some coordinating goodies (my favorite part!) and then I put away everything else on my desk. Let's see what develops...
Have a great weekend and I'll see you on Monday!

Linda said...: Prayer flags are little fabric pieces or samplers often made into a garland. The individual flags might have a word or phrase on them such as "faith", "courage", "hope", "be still" etc. Prayers can be said (for a person, situation, etc) while making the flags as well. The flags can be hung individually or made into a garland to brings comfort and reminders of the power of prayer, faith, friendship, etc.

If you search "prayer flag" on Pinterest, you will see some nice examples.; May 3, 2015 at 5:14 AM

About the 2015 Swap

The Swap For All Seasons blog is always open and welcomes all visitors! Please feel free to visit often for ideas, tutorials, inspiration, seasonal fun and giveaways. Feel free to leave comments too!

The 2015 Swap is not open to join. A small group of talented crafters will be creating and swapping "Mini Fabric Samplers" each month from which a personal garland/banner may be made by many of the artists at the end of the year.

Many of the samplers (as well as those showcased for inspiration only) will be shown on this blog, on our Flickr group page (see link below), on Instagram at #aswapforallseasons or on the artist's individual blogs (a list of artists and their blog links is coming soon).

Welcome to A Swap for All Seasons!

Hi! My name is Linda and I am a wife, mom of 3, nurse, crafter, knitter and collector of vintage goodies. I love all things old, sweet, and handmade! I especialy enjoy sharing these things with the network of wonderful, kindred art friends that I have made through blogging and swapping. I love to host swaps, and have hosted many through my own blog and on my favorite Yahoo Groups.

A Swap For All Seasons was a little idea of mine that just kept growing... I envisioned celebrating each season with a delightful, high quality swap, that would bring joy to all who participate! The first A Swap For All Seasons swap was in the Fall of 2008!

Each year of swapping is a little different. For instance, 2015 swaps are not open for all to join. But all visitors are welcome and encouraged to visit often throughout 2015 for ongoing seasonal and crafting inspiration! It is a happy place to be!

An Important Message About Sharing Artwork on This Blog

I would just like to take this opportunity to mention that when I post another artist's work, it is ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF INSPIRATION. I DO NOT promote copying another's work AT ANY TIME. I do not want there to ever be any question of my intentions. I am simply showcasing techniques and providing examples to inspire our own creativity. And please know that I always seek permission from the artist prior to showcasing her/his work when possible.
The only exception is if it is an image that has been posted on multiple Pinterest boards. I will go ahead and repin it here, with a link to the artist and/or website whenever it is available.
