You're in MadQuilter? Yippee! Send me your addy. You've asked a very valid question. It is entirely up to the sender if they want to include a little gift or something. It's definitely not a requirement. The only thing that should be expected is a doll quilt. I don't want anyone to feel bad if they didn't include any goodies yet received some. The main focus is swapping doll quilts. I just can't stop "giving quilters," it's in their blood as you can see all over this board.
