			<description><![CDATA[ I know that I&#39;ve done better as a moderator than I am currently doing in the Fantasy Exchange.  Having more than one weird thing happen with shipments is
making it a bit more complicated than usual, so not all my problem.  That said, with current life events I know I&#39;m not going to be up to moderating for
quite some time, and in the past I&#39;ve been running about 2 a year for a while now.  So if you all want more exchanges someone else will have to step up to

			<description><![CDATA[ OK with the semester I won&#39;t be up for moderating for a few more months, but that gives everyone some time to think about what we want to do.
<br>
<br>
I figure I&#39;ll do something with Signups around May 15 or 31st, and a mailing date of end of June.
<br>
<br>
I&#39;d love another Hardanger exchange, but that is somewhat limiting it seems as not everyone enjoys Hardanger.  I could be convinced to do another biscornu
exchange as I know we have a few biscornu junkies on this board, or... ]]></description>

portion of the BB.  Feel free to point friends to the forum as well.

interest.  So in case you have forgotten that the forum exists take a peek down there.  I&#39;ll moderate the group, on whatever theme seems to have enough
interest and that I like best as well.

If more than one theme has a lot of interest I&#39;ll mentor someone else to moderate any other groups that form.

could try to get names out before hand.  Say get names on Jan 7 and mail on Jan 7, then most folks should receive before hand.
<br>
<br>
Or if we need more time after the holidays I could do a send names by Jan 30th, and mail on March 1st.  Then we could do any theme we want.

<br>
<br>
I&#39;m looking for Exchange participants. I&#39;m from Poland and me and my polish friend currently living in Spain are setting up an exchange. This will be a
first exchange for all polish stitchers. We have a few participants from outside of Poland already (mostly people from HAED BB) and lots of polish stitchers
wanting to exchange... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Ok I think I&#39;m currently enthralled in stitching bookmarks.
<br>
<br>
In stash diving I found my TW Celtic knot bookmark collections.  I was thinking what a perfect thing for an exchange.
<br>
<br>
So since I&#39;m currently moderating the Fantasy exchange I don&#39;t want to overlap that one.  I&#39;m thinking Signups June 1st.  Shipping July 31st.  I
want to give a little more than a month for stitching since these are after all TWs here folks.
<br>
<br>
So do I have folks interested?

for me.  Biscornu, bookmark, Victoria Sampler, Dragon Dreams, generic smalls, Dimples Bugs, small bags, Summer Exchange or Spring Exchange (Depends on mailing
Dates).  Those are some of themes I&#39;ve come up with.  If I get two or more folks interested in the same topic I may even offer to moderate.  I&#39;m trying

and we may want to keep it stickied up at the top.
<br>
<br>
A group of people decide to stitch and finish an object.  What is stitched and/or the type of object is determined by the exchange.  For example a biscornu
exchange means everyone will stitch a square pattern and finish it as a biscornu, aka 8-sided pillow.  For the Dragon... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I&#39;ve noticed here discussion starts about an exchange and there&#39;s some interest, and then it fizzles and never gets started so since I&#39;m now
moderating my 3rd exchange I figured I&#39;d post some hints for folks on how to get an exchange actually started.  I hope noone is insulted by this, but I
think it&#39;s sad to see interest fizzle and I just want more folks to enjoy in the fun exchanges can be.

			<description><![CDATA[ I am just gauging interest at the moment to see if people would be interested in a redwork/blackwork/whitework exchange.<br>
<br>
You would decide whether you wanted to stitch your piece in either redwork or blackwork or whitework. I thought it would be nice to do something different using one of these ways. The size and design would be entirely up to yourself. Starting date would be after Easter and there would be a 6 week stitching turnaround, longer if people wish it.<br>

I'd like to keep the focus on the actual exchange piece and limit the &quot;extras&quot; to something representing your local area.  For example:  a postcard or two, bookmark, magnet...  simple (and light) things that show where the stitcher lives.<br>

Of course, you are free to include whatever you want, but I simply wanted to set expectations at a reasonable level! <div class='signature'><span... ]]></description>
