6 kids??? I guess I don't have the excuse of the kids keeping me too busy LOL. Welcome from Indiana!
I do a charm swap each month and Kyiav10 does the FQ exchange & there are doll swaps, private exchanges, block swaps, & lots of tutorials, too. You can check everything out by going to the "Back to home page" link under the title Quilting Board - The Quilter's Message Board under the appropriate titles....the swaps are under classifieds/swaps.
I see that your avatar includes applique. There are many talented people on the board who also love applique.
