A Swap For All Seasons: my sampler progress...the layout

my sampler progress...the layout

I decided to use pinking shears to cut out my fabric background. It seemed a summery thing to do! I decided to use an image, so I went browsing through my images looking for something cute and summery. Jackpot! I printed it on a fabric paper sheet designed for inkjet printers. I stamped the words (a Red Lead stamp of course!) on a scrap of the fabric paper sheet. I'm still tinkering with the layout. This definitely isn't it.

Bev said...: I do love the colored buttons and the flowery lace at the top! But this preview doesn't do it justice. I received the REAL thing today and I LOVE IT!!

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.
