Guess that's up to Brenda starshine. I would really like to trade in advance next year, example of Valentines fabric that we would receive by the 15th or so of January. Then you have time to get it and to make something from it to celebrate the day. But that is just me, don't know how others feel or how Brenda feels about it either. Just doesn't give too much time to make something if you want to when you get it 2 - 4 days before hand or if your trading partner is late sending. Last year I didn't have time to make anything and really still have the FQ's from last year. Just a thought and only my opinion.
