POSTED :-)
I've just this minute got back from the Post Office after posting out all my Its a Small World swaps :-) This is the most complicated swap I've ever joined and although I love the fabrics/info sheets I've received I wish I'd thought a bit more about how much work was involved before signing up!! The swap was in three stages, and for each stage you had to chose two countries. For each country you had to write an A4 information sheet, which had to include a Little Known Fact about the country and a wish. And of course I had to find fabric to represent each of the countries I had chosen too, which is difficult in the UK as there are so few places to buy quilt fabric from. And not forgetting washing, ironing and cutting out all the fabric for 20 participants!!! That's 120 squares washed, ironed and cut and 120 info sheets designed and printed and 120 fabric samples stuck to each of the 120 info sheets!!! No wonder its taken me forever to do!!! I've told LMS to shoot me if I EVER suggest joining such a complicated swap again!!!
