Don't like forced exchanges. I put a lot of work and thought into my gift and got something slapped together a few hours before the meeting which immediately went to thrift store. I am not a member of a guild anymore. My sister and I make door prizes for the holiday party of the nonprofit we are part of. We do it because we want to and have made many pincushions, small quilts, table runners, bags, and have given fabric from our stashes. I have done 4 swaps through a Facebook group. Have been burned twice and will not do anymore swaps. Of course those two were ones where I spent the most time on the projects and money on shipping.

I don't know how to connect something so for those of you who want to know about the mirror cover
it's under Urban Threads, type in Lace Mirror Cover, and it will pop up

Wow!! Those are lovely!

Lynnie, those mirrors are indeed gorgeous! It's easy to see why you don't want to make 25, especially knowing some people will not bring gifts for the exchange. That's so not good. If you don't bring, you don't get. Whoever is fortunate enough to get one of your mirrors will be delighted.

thank you coopah and especially jlt37869 for bringing the pattern to life for all to see.
it's a lot of stitches and keeps breaking threads. it takes about 1 1/2 hrs. to stitch out
longer when the thread keeps breaking, then the money for the stabilizers. THey are
so pretty. How many of you would like a gift likes this or is it considered just another
piece of junk? It would be nice regifted too. What else can I make? I really think I'll
only do it for the group of ladies I'm close to. Give something else to everyone else.

what do you all think of that?

any idea what I should charge for them?

I don't even like gift exchanges among family. I prefer spending time together and chatting etc. We have too much schtuff as it us. chocolate is welcomed tho!
