Two new members and our first from the UK !!!!!!!

A big warm welcome to our two new members with double the reason to Celebrate.

Firstly welcome to Marie from Victoria. Marie is a big fan of paper piecing and foundation piecing and would love to partner (where possible) with members that would like to share with this, so let me know if this is you (by email) so I can earmark you to partner with Marie.

Secondly a double milestone in welcoming Gina from the UK. As well as being our first British resident to join our group she is also our 40th member to join. I am just waiting to hear back from Gina with her preferences to partner her for the month.

Wow - double milestone!! I feel like I've won - twice! and I must declare that although I live in the UK I am a Brazilian too! (does that count for another winning???)

I am very much looking forward to start my new SWAP.
warm wishes
