I love sWaPS!! I've been known to stack a few on my plate at the same time, but they are hard for me to resist!
I've talked about Nanette's Cottage Swap two posts ago, now let's review some more swaps I participated in during the first year of my blog.
Secret Sister Swap October 2008 - March 2009
Tina was my Secret Sister for 6 months through a Yahoo Fabric Lovers online group we belong to. She is sooo generous and talented, and selfless and patient and giving and just plain A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. I'm so glad we met. I have learned a lot about being a better person from her.
{She is celebrating her one year blog anniversary too! Go sign up to win her georgous mini trapunto quilt!}
To see all six month's worth of treasures:

Jane is the SWAP QUEEN!! She joins swaps, she hosts amazing swaps she may have even invented swaps! Jane's swaps are so organized and I've never been disappointed with the blocks I've received.
Jane has another swap almost planned out, I'll be participating in that one fo' shiz!

And congrats on your Blogiversary!
OOOOO...great fabric and tags!!! I love those rainbow swap blocks....they are so striking and crisp!
Tha rainbow block swap is beautiful! I never seem to find out about these swaps until ppl are mailing theirs in, or recieving them, where is the best place to look?
I get so into swaps too. AFter a year or two of them, usually block swaps, I said no more swaps..this is the year to sew them together and at least get tops from them....could I resist???? I think I made it to June and signed up for another one and didn't get any tops done!!!! OH well. I did a DJ row robin...that one is nearly a top...I sent along a box of scraps...it turned out very nice; and I also was in a DJ block swap in fall colors...love those DJ blocks! YOurs look so nice in Christmas colors.
These tags and fabric are wonderful - thanks for the chance to win these.
Girl, I am so addicted to swaps. I think they are so much fun. Loved looking at yours.

I just visited Kniterella's shop. Those tags are so right on. I like the one that says 'Just Because It's Homemade Doesn't Mean It Was Cheap'. So many people think that I am saving money by making them a gift.
Sew long,
Melody

Thanks for the lead to Knitterella. I had a very nice visit there. I don't knit but am always tempted to learn.
The tags are neat. I went to Knitarella's shop. I love her chrocheted blossoms.
It has been a great year. I look forward to the next one and I love doing swaps. Especially making things for others.
I love the fabric and the tags- very fun! I haven't tried a swap yet but they look like fun. I have to build up abit of confidence first. Nancy

The fabric is great and I love the gift tags. Knitterella has great tags, I like the ones for knitting and crocheting as well.
Thanks for another great giveaway.
Wow! You have gotten some wonderful goodies in your swaps! Isn't Jane the greatest!
I love Knitterella's tags! All of her tags are wonderful! I like her note cards too! I think my favorite tag is the one that says "Just because it's home made doesn't mean it was cheap!" So true!
Love the fabrics. So pretty.
