I decided to get involved in the Chinese adoption community tradition of 100 Good Wishes Quilt swaps. So far so good. What I didn't realise was that the squares have to be sent out pre-washed, pre-ironed and pre-cut!! IRONED!!! I don't DO ironing. And before you all wonder if we are creased, scruffy ragamuffins - no we aren't. I have a very nice, very helpful and totally wonderful lady who does our ironing for me. But I can't ask her to iron yards of fabric for me, now can I? So - I am going to have to do the unthinkable - wield an iron myself!!!! I hope the people receiving my squares appreciate the huge sacrifice I'm making on their behalf :-)
