Gail Brown commented on Christine Brown's group UFOs"Elizabeth, I have never made a list, however I think I will this year. Maybe being able to actually cross something off will be a motivator for me. If I just start with the panels and blocks I'd probably have 25 or 30…"

Linda Koller said… Gail, feel free to take part in all the discussions. Sometime in January I will be asking to see who wants to participate next year. Then I send out questionnaires. Secret Santa sisters will be assigned usually in April. Then you have all year to work on things for your SS box. We mail them out around the first Saturday in December.
This year we had a couple of contests. There are discussions all year trying to find answers to questions that maybe weren't on the questionnaires. We post tutorials for gift ideas. We have general discussions too.
So welcome to the group. Take part so we can get to know you for next year!
Linda
