I've had pep talks from this great bunch too! It has given me the courage to try new things, practice the stuff I dread doing etc. etc.! lol No judgement! I try to choose colours and patterns that I would like on my own table, and then my fingers are crossed when I mail it out! All different skill levels participate but it's great to receive a runner in the mail that is a complete surprise and done as a special effort for this swap! Get sewing & enjoy! I'm excited to see what you are working on!
