Prior to this board, I took part in a swap on another board....and was very disappointed. I came up with my own design, and used fabrics leftover from my lingerie making days, lots of embellishments, etc. The member that had organized the swap gave be a dressing down ...ON the website!!! for making a seasonal quilt. There had been no restrictions placed on this swap other than size. And then my partner didn't come thru', so I didn't get anything in return. After sending an email to the organizer to say how disappointing the swap had been, I did get a return swap, with a small pack of FQ's with an apology. Still...the whole episode left a bad taste in my mouth.
This board has been a whole different ballgame. I have joined in a few and been very pleased with how specific the requirements have been, and with what has arrived in my mailbox. If I had more time, I would gladly join more on here. Hmmm how much longer to retirement? ;)
