the sign-up deadlines of the swaps is coming closer so sign up soon so you don't miss out! I am using the yahoo groups as a central place to keep up with the swaps as I have found that this way people don't forget deadlines (due to reminders) and feel more involved in the swap itself. and we all have fun along the way! it isn't required to receive emails from the groups but in order for me to keep track of who is sending what I do need everyone to put their names into the data bases made for that purpose.
The starry night swap has photo's of all the blocks **already** made by participants and boy are they looking good! it's going to be hard to return the swaps to everyone for that swap!
in the scrappy block swap (not the siggie one) the debate on which block to use has started with lots of fun idea's of nice easy blocks that are not paper pieced :-)
in the siggie swap people have been plotting colours - some are considering a theme so their can be spotted in all the quilts made some are keeping things totally scrappy and are emptying that scrap box!
