lvstew-- glad you're here! we love new friends!! there are some other swaps that are great ice breakers-- like the doll quilt swap, the home decor swap, the wallhanging swap. the boomerang, the table runner-- all sorts of fun things to do and you get to meet other people. some are only open for a short while, but you can always enter a thread to see what it's like and who is participating. we're all here to have fun and be with people who enjoy quilting, too. so welcome!!
