I think that double the postage for this swap makes it rather pricey tho, maybe holiday time would not work,,,,,maybe it could be up the way table runners go, each have a partner......hope someone starts another one, and I get the message, I will be traveling for a bit, so no computer...........jacie

Why don't we just each make one and make it the best and prettiest you can? That way we could still give a gift and it wouldn't cost that much. OR, like in the secret pal swaps, we could each be given just one name and the details of what colors they like (some might not WANT Christmas fabric) and mail it directly to them. That way it would also be pretty even as far as postage was concerned. What say you?

I too love roosters..they are on my canisters, shelf in the kitchen, I think they are so cute and I love to watch them pick around..I don't own any but one of our neighbors does, so I take my grandson up to watch the goats and chickens. PM me your address and I will send you a potholder to hopefully get your collection restarted.

Embroidery machine lol the chicken on the potholder was in a quilt book I had, but since I don't hand applique I used embroidery software to digitize it for the embroidery machine..now they only take 10 min to stitch out.
