Hello to All the Cross Stitchers out there!

This is my very first time hosting a swap and I am very excited about it. I love to Cross stitch and sending them to my friends, even though some patterns may be unconventional. With the holiday seasons coming upon us, I though how nice would it be to create a finished project for someone to help decorate their home for the Season.

The Image must be Halloween themed. You can also include small patterns together to create a Halloween scenery/design. The image or images together must be at least 4in. by 4in. Don’t forget to leave at least a 1in and 1/2 of extra fabric on the sides so your partner can frame or display it as they would like. You do not have to send it framed but please make sure it is protected in maybe a Plastic sandwich bag. Do not send it folded up. You may use any count fabric you like. I personally prefer 14 or 18 count.

In the comment section before partners are assigned leave a basic message to your partner about things you may prefer. Help give your partner inspiration on what pattern(s) to choose because there are so many out there.

Questions:

~Do you like Scary or Cute?

~Do you prefer Ghost, Cats, Candy, Witches, or Cats… ect.? Pick at least 3 subjects for your partner to choose from.

Create something you would love to get and you know your partner would enjoy.

~No recent/unexplained/unresolved low ratings.

~You must have completed at least 10 Type 2 and/or 3 swaps total. Also have been rated for them.

~4.98 rating is required

~Well-filled profile is required

I will Angel if necessary

Did your partner use embellishments like glitter/shiny thread, buttons, or beads? Is the image Bigger then 4in. by 4in? Give them a Heart!

Even if this one does not work out as well as I hope I will also post a Thanksgiving/Fall themed one in October and a Christmas/Winter themed one in November.

Happy Stitching!

I really like the idea!

Maybe next time you can host an international version? Since it's just a piece of fabric to be mailed, it'll not be that expensive, even if we include some extras. Pretty please?

Hugs!

Thanks for the fun swap! I will sign up as soon as I mail my postcards tomorrow!

For this swap - I prefer scary over cute and I guess three Halloween subjects I like best are ghosts, skeletons, or tombstones. However, to my future partner - I will be happy with any halloween theme so if you have some pattern or design you want to use other than what I listed I still will give a 5 (and a heart 'cause I love cross stitch).

Thank you for the fun swap. I love Halloween season...my favorites are witch hats and boots, candy corn, and pumpkins. However, please do not stress or worry if you don't have these patterns. It is all about the fun of Halloween, and I will enjoy whatever my partner creates.
