Online Quilting Swap Sites

Are you a member of a online quilting site or two, too? ;O)
When I first got into quilting I found a great online quilting site on MSN called Quilting To Share an I was hooked. I love to swap! It's such fun.
I am a member on a couple online quilting swap sites that I'd like to share the links with you. There are two that I have been a part of for awhile and enjoy. They are Quilting Around The World and Quilting To Share. I am a member of both because they offer different kinda swaps and one is larger and more active than the other. I am also a member on another forum called Quilting Board. They are a world wide site and I am still getting the hang of this one. Love doing the Friendship Swap though. It's my favorite swap. Each site offers different swaps and challenges and such that I enjoy so I don't want to give any of them up. So I pick and choose what swaps I participate in so I don't spread myself too thin.
Swapping is addictive I can tell ya. I so enjoy swapping and getting those squishes in the mail. They sure are a great pick me up I can tell ya. It's exciting to see what the other swappers send. Such Fun! If you would like to check out those sites please do so and come join in the fun.
until next time ... happy quilting!

Final Stash Busting Report of 2009

I haven't sewn in the last week and have had a house full of company for the Christmas holiday and wasn't able to post like I should have the last two weeks. My report didn't change since week 49 but I am happy with my progress of the year and hope to continue to do this next year with Judy and the bunch. It inspires me to do more and use from my stash to post and be accountable for my actions. Thank you Judy for hostessing this for us and for your wonderful blog. I so enjoy following it.

WIP Wednesday

Trying to keep myself motivate ... I'm going to try and post every Wednesday showing what I am working on for the week. I have several quilty things I'd like to finish by Christmas so I need to kick it into gear.

Here is what I am working on this week and hope to finish it and start something else. This will be a set of potholders and a hotpad made from crumb blocks, not sure I like the black around the blocks. Need to find other colors instead for the next set.

until next time ... happy quilting!
