On anolther note, I am really loving all the pincushions I have been seeing on this swap. They are so fun. So I am doing a pincushion swap at my quilting guild and we will do our first swap next month. Seems to have people interested, will see who brings in a cushion. I'm doing it that you bring in one or two cushions, and put your name in a jar for each cushion you brought in. At the break, I will draw names and you pick in order of having your name drawn.
And a P.S. someone asked me in a PM about my avatar -- it is a tutorial I did on this board.
Paintmejudy, we had the most fun at our guild retreat this year- everyone made or bought a nice pincushion, and then we took the classic "white elephant" gift exchange and called it "rob your quilter" - used left,center,right dice, and passed in the indicated direction, and whoever rolled center got to steal a pincushion. We had a ton of fun and everyone went home with a great cushion.
