I have only been quilting for two years. I agree with everything you said lynnie. I have learned so much. Not just from actually doing the cutting and quilting, but also from all the knowledge here on the board. Members are so eager and willing to help me out in any question I have. The swaps offer new ideas to me too. Anyone that has been apprehensive about joing a swap should jump right in. You won't be sorry. I look forward to the beginning of each month to sign up for swaps.
