I am an admin for a flickr group. On occasion, we get a request for a new member that doesn’t have any swap experience. I offer to swap with them if they have some of their art/quilty works in their photostream and look like they might be a good fit with the group. This way, we can ensure new members have some swap history under their belts.
Sadly to say, I have seen enough flakers and slackers that I want to make sure all swappers receive a wonderful little quilt! (Slackers mail late routinely, and flakers just up and disappear after their swaps have arrived to them and never send to their partners.)
I received this beautiful little pinnie from Jeanfiberarts today!!! It is beautifully made, and I always love quality wool projects!!! Thanks Jean! I love it!
Now to get busy making something for Jean!

Too cute to use! I would keep it in a china cabinet where I could enjoy it but nothing could happen to it!

That’s a good idea… Especially in my house with 2 boys! I actually have an incredible pincushion collection- vintage to modern and everything in between!
