Don't worry about an occasional memory slip. It has probably happened to most of us.

To keep myself from re-sending what I have sent before, I keep one extra set of swapping squares for myself and I label it with the year. That way I remember what I have sent previously. There were years when I cut more sets than were needed, so I sent those sets to the new folks in the next year's swap. Just a couple of ideas from me to the group.

Travelinggramma, I added you to the list. Bjsmith57, we will miss you and I wish you much fun and adventures on your travels next year.


BYW the December birthday message was sent about 30 minutes ago. Corrections? Let me know.

As much as I love this swap, I’m sitting out the next year (or years?) until I put a serious dent in my boxes of candy squares. I hope to start a candy square top after I finish my present project but it’ll be a couple of months yet. I hope you get lots of signups for 2024. It’s a great swap.

Thank-you everyone for all of my candy. I received 2 more candies (15). Kele. And (16). Granny Rose.

i plan to send out the December candy tomorrow. Then I know it will get there on time.

happy Thanksgivings giving everyone. Now on to quilting a baby top for a friend.

Mailed candies today. PO has 7 days to deliver on time.

I’m in for next year. I think it’s fun reading/seeing all the conversations and finished projects.

petthefabric, your 1st and last pics were great. The 1st I will add to my wish list to do. That’s a great scrappy quilt. Thank you for sharing.

I'm sending my last card out today.

I am also going to take a year off.... Way too many candies here, to collect more! I will lurk and watch everything, contribute patterns as I find them, and cheer on all the birthday girls. Thanks to WMUTeach for another great year of swapping!

Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!

Just stumbled across this beautiful design. I think the squares are slightly bigger than our candies, but there's no reason you couldn't make it with them instead.
