A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

I'm Lisa. I'm 29. I live in Chicago. I am not married nor do I have any children. I do live with my boyfriend and we have two dogs (min pins) that I love to spoil rotten.

 

INFO FOR SWAPPERS:

 

I don't smoke. There are two little doggies in my house who know they are not allowed anywhere near my precious fabric... but anyone with pets knows the hair doesn't always stay on the pet!

 

I do not prewash my fabric and I would prefer that if you wash your fabric you let me know. Depending on the project I am using it for washed fabric might be a deal breaker for me sorry!

 

I'm in Chicago, IL. I will ship to Canada and depending on what is at stake outside of North America too! Please let me know if you are international.

SOME IDEAS FOR ITEMS I'D LOVE TO RECIEVE IN SWAPS:

Runner for my coffee table approx 2'x1.5' (teals & greens with linen would be awesome)

Items for my sewing room, wall hanging, mini quilts, hoops, fun/interesting pin cushions (colors: yellow & pink)

Things for my kitchen: pot holders are always great, tea towels, a table runner my table is small so the runner would have to be about 2'x3'' or smaller. Placemats might be better there are 4 spots but only 2 of us. (red, black, grey, white)

I have a great porch and we grill a lot so anything for that would be fun.

I'm open to just about anything and I love handmade so feel free to surprise me as well.

 

I LOVE cathedral windows and hexies but have not attempted either of those myself yet. So if you are a cathedral or hexie superstar and want to make me something wow that would be amazing! If not you're in good company and I'm sure you'll come up with something fantastic!
