    Partners would be good, it seems to work well with other swaps. It can be more personalized .

    Karen, I think going with partners is less stress for you in the long run. Instead of trying to match people to their preferences, let them hash it out with their partner. As long as everyone is happy, that should work. And maybe suggest that they wait until both are ready to mail, so no one sits around for 3 weeks wondering where their swap package is. Just MHO.

    I think this is a great idea Pamela! So I am another vote for "known" partners!

    Thanks Zennia. I am glad that you liked the swap I sent. I will post pictures for you after I have had my coffee!

    Mary what a great package you made for Suzy. I love your May basket and the fabric on the nc.

    Karen you sent a great package to Betty. Of course I love the hexie PC and what a cute mug rug

    Lucky you also got a great package from Nan62.

    Everyone has done such a great job on the packages.

    I can't believe how cold it has been here lately. Of course I'm not complaining as I know I'll be getting 5 days of 80 starting on Monday.

    Everyone have a great day and a great Memorial Day Weekend

    I'll go along with what everyone wants... Are we staying at both NC and PC each time? I know decisions, divisions decisions.

    Whatever the majority wants is okay with me. I will admit that I like the surprise factor though and I like to receive the matching set. I love the May basket, hope you get my name sometime and make one for me. Until my Mother passed away, she always made me a "basket" for my May 1st b-day celebration and the cake was always decorated like the May pole .

    Zennia has asked me to post pictures of the swap I sent her. I love seeing all of the wonderful handiwork my fellow quilters create, here are the photos of my efforts for May!
