Most quilters are proud of the work they do and do their best when involved in these swaps. I can't imagine what it would feel like to get something back in the mail that I had put time, effort and joy in making and sharing. I'M a NON-SMOKER--but, that's just me!!!
The swaps I'm in the rules say no smokers allowed. Some try to slip pass thinking no one can tell the difference. They are thick skinned enough already by ignoring the rules to have hurt feelings. There are swap groups with no inside pets, no perfume, etc. There are swaps for everyone to participate.
