That's a good way of doing it. I am debating if I'm going to go to our local quilt guild. Try them again and see if they are friendlier than before. It's been a lot of years since I went. I could take some small projects with me to work on.

Here are some items I received and made for the swap. I haven't received an item I didn't like. It's like Christmas when you open the package.

Thanks everyone for the posting of pictures - it sure helps the newbies get some ideas.

Just remember keep it fun and keep it simple.

Here are some of my items either I made or received and I too love them all.

What a cool idea!!! Do you do this every month?!? May need to think about it!

BonniFeltz

This has been done every month so far since January. :) It IS fun and you get to chat/tease your partners with little hints, etc along the way. I've been quieter this month than normal so I don't show my partner too much. She wanted it to be a surprise.

It's a great way to get to know other quilters. Come join us!

Sent a PM yesterday. Should I hear back that it was received?

Hi guys - all pm's answered now. Sorry for the delay - I worked 13.5 hours yesterday.

Thanks for the answers to the questions Bonni - appreciate you being there to fill in.

Welcome to all the new people signed up this month. I am glad you are joining us in the fun we are having each and every month. Like Bonni said, it is so much fun to chat and get to know your partner. Then super fun receiving a completed project when it's all said and done. Bonni did a super job starting this post in January and I stepped in to fill the position in March after Bonni had some medical issues.

Be sure to PM me with all sign up info before July 18th to sign up.

Heh. Make that HAS medical problems yet Dee. Woke up today with my eye swollen and a little puffy. Still have swelling and redness through the hair line also. I'm not letting it stop me from my projects though. Just takes me a little longer.

Think it means I'm getting old? Nawwww.... must mean something else. :)
