I must have swapping fever! I’ve joined this:

I remember reading posts on various blogs last year around Christmas and the 2007 SSCS seemed to be a resounding success, so I definitely wanted to join in this year.

On top of that, I’ve joined this:

I saw some of the quilts from the last round of this swap on various blogs and was wishing I had joined in. So now I have.

Betsy at Quilting Fiesta, my Four Seasons partner for the summer quilt, e-mailed today saying she had received the orchids quilt. I was relieved as I’m always just a bit nervous when sending things like a little quilt in the mail.

And, if all this isn’t enough, we’re having another centralized swap on the Inklingo list which I’m hostessing. This time we’re swapping strips of 7 one-inch hexagons. These swaps are great as it gives one a chance to amass enough pieces for a charm quilt or, as in this case, enough hexagons to make a fair number of hexagon flowers — certainly enough for a small quilt.

I don’t think either Smudge or Lester are particularly impressed by all this swap mania!
