I shop the sales at the local quilt stores and places like Joann's, I pick up notions, fat quarters, patterns, small crafty sewing kits and other related sewing items. The other thing I do is research cute projects that I will make and add. I always add a few hand made items along with what I purchase. I have a bin that I add items to all year long, so by the time the swap starts and I have a partner's name and see their list of likes/wants/dislikes, etc, it's usually fairly easy for me to built onto that for a nice S.S. package that I send out several weeks before the deadline.

Reading thru this year and last years posts....Lots of you say you have been collecting all year.
Collecting what? I'm not new to swapping, or secret pals, Just wondering what everyone has been collecting thru out the year.
