Thanks everyone for your kind words!

The tabletopper is now with it's new owner. And yes, it was well sought after in the trading part of the exchange! For awhile, it went into hiding, hoping that everyone would forget about it. But no, it was remembered!!!

It did become known as the "baby quilt" ... and in the end the winner/owner, does have a 7 month old, so it can do double duty, baby quilt now, and then table topper later!

And oh the creativity of the group ... unbelievable what all was "created". They were all prizes to be had and for sure, no disappointments!!!

I love how you do a make it exchange...I am trying to instill that on my boys...they are starting to get it...though they still spoil us. I wish I was more creative when they were young. I was all work, work, work and of course running around between school events, homework, sports and going to school full time as well as working full time...now I make time to create

Thanks! This was the first time for the "make it" exchange/scramble, and I'm sure it won't be the last! We even discovered talents that we never knew some had. And some even learned that they could do things they never thought they could.

This works well with this group ... two generations of adults, all in their own homes. It may not work out so well, if there was a bigger gap in the ages. There were 21 in the exchange and it was oh so much fun!! As someone said, it was the Best Ever!
