Now is your chance! We need someone to host a mini quilt swap, like Betweens did only this one christmas themed. Easy to do, no posting out of blocks or anything, just collecting names, organising who swaps with who (most people use a random # generator online for that) and letting everyone know who their recipient is etc. Can someone help out please?
