I just participated in my first swap - the July Secret Pal Swap. I choose this Swap b/c you aren't required to "make" something. I'm very new to this and am not comfortable with my abilities - not ready for anyone else to see my work just yet. But the Secret Pal Swap lets you send and receive fabric pieces, notions, candy, book, pattern, etc. You simply fill out a questionairre and send it via PM to the swap hostess. She will then you send you someone else's completed questionairre. You make your selections of items to mail to your Secret Pal. It's a good way to make some new friends within the board!!
