Round 5 - Swap Details

I am so happy to announce the next round of the Flirty Apron Swap! I made a sweet friend in EllynAnne Geisel and she has a wonderful new Kitchen Linens book that will be published soon. In honor of this historic author, my latest swap will involve YOU finding wonderful kitchen linens (tablecloths, placemats, runners, towels) and re-mixing them into Flirty Aprons. I cannot wait to see your creations!!

Flirty Apron Swap V
-Vintage Linens Remix
Last Day to Sign Up: March 17, 2009
Last Day to Mail Packages: April 20, 2009

Welcome to the latest round of the Flirty Apron Swap! You will make an adult size apron using vintage linens (or reproduction fabric) for your known pal and your (different) unknown pal will make one for you and include a linen item (placemat set, tablecloth, runner, tea towels).

Please complete the registration form HERE and read the Rules and Package Requirement posts as well. With registration software, I can only take 100 registrations. So, sign up quick to guarantee your spot! Be sure to grab a swap image and post it on your blog to share with your friends. The more the merrier!!

I have also posted links to various patterns and tutorials on the right sidebar. I'll keep adding to that list as I find sites. Remixing old into new is such fun, and I know you'll enjoy this swap!

AFTER YOU REGISTER, come back here and leave a comment so everyone else can see who is IN!!
