The last few months I have participated in the secret pal swap. It never stops amazing me how thoughtful and generous my quilting pals are on this board. It is so much fun receiving a package in the mail and opening it to see what some one has chosen for me. I love thinking about what I am going to send to my pal and then shopping for it. This is such a great idea.About two winters ago I participated and my pal sent me a cute santa holding a small american flag. I love that santa. It sits on a chair in my den.
