I don't join because of too many irons in the fire and a deep seated phobia about deadlines... I know it's dumb.. but there it is. I did do Secret Santa and had a ball.. I so enjoyed sending things to BlueChicken and the package from Nancy was wonderful!!! I've swapped some things on a personal .. one to one level with a couple of other members and am thinking of designing an "international" doll quilt to use some of the wonderful fabrics I've received.. what a fantastic group of friends I have found!!
