For anyone who I am ever swap partnered with: I haven't been able to post photos here for quite a while due to my "vintage" computing equipment. I imagine that others may have the same problem. I do say thanks and have had others post photos for me on occasion.

I have been in some interesting swaps and have found some are just not for me.
The worst as far as "flakeage" was the one we did around the world. We made a starter block and mailed it to the next person who made a block to complement it and sent it on to the next. The idea was that at the end, each bee member would have a quilt uniquely her own. It took us over a year and we got to meet and get to know some great ladies.
The bad part was one gal flaked out about half way through, but kept collecting the incoming quilts. She was the stop before me. After repeated e-mails and some computer sleuthing, I had my mother-in-law ready to drive over to her place and pick them up. I was finally able to speak to her partner on the phone and she said she would make sure the gal got them in the mail. I told her I'd have MIL come pick them up if getting them in the mail just couldn't happen.
I ended up with 12 quilts in one wallop. I felt so bad about the delay and the gal flaking out, I ended up making two blocks for each. It seemed like it took forever to get through them, but everyone finally ended up with their quilts.

I have been really happy with the swaps I have done on here so far. I'm just careful to make sure I don't over commit myself since my sewing time can fluctuate greatly.
Swap on!
