Great ...Hey nice progress on QFRR and Forgiveness. Great questions - like most everyone else who has commented, I browse through my partner's blog, wishlist and any other available resources (like links to photo archives etc) to try to get a sense for what they would really like (and to try and stitch them something new that they haven't received before!). It's tough when they don't blog too often, but like Dani I just try to pick something that would have a fairly wide appeal.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976684009490507143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-59298724936461994662008-03-09T08:40:00.000-07:002008-03-09T08:40:00.000-07:00I've not participated in an exchange before, so I'...I've not participated in an exchange before, so I'm sure that must be tough deciding on what project to choose. I did want to let you know, though, that I've tagged/recognized you for the progress pics and info you share on the Quaker-inspired designs. I don't know much about the Quaker designs, so I would love to read more and see more!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661315464602739489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-22188813233710461932008-03-08T23:46:00.000-08:002008-03-08T23:46:00.000-08:00I like stitching exchanges and meeting new people ...I like stitching exchanges and meeting new people that way, but it really sucks when your recipient doesn't post at least weekly. I'm like you, I want to stitch something that I know will be well-liked and include things suited to my person.<BR/><BR/>I've done 5 exchanges so far and 3 of them haven't been such active bloggers (1-2 posts per month). It was really hard to tell what they like because the posts they did write weren't too chatty. I think exchanges should have as a requirement that participants must blog at least weekly or every other week; the HSKS4 exchange I'm in has weekly posting and it's very reassuring that your swap partner won't flake. I've also learned a lot about my swap partner through her blog, so it's been one of the easiest exchanges to assemble for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251826845271403526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-71735633888666599392008-03-08T07:49:00.000-08:002008-03-08T07:49:00.000-08:00I love the blue you're using on your RR Edgar.As f...I love the blue you're using on your RR Edgar.<BR/><BR/>As for exchagnes I always try to find out what the receipients likes/dislikes are. A couple of times I've had partners with blogs that haven't been updated in months and it makes things very hard. When that happens I tend to pick a motif or something that anyone might like.Dani - tkdchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304768491192625890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-27603099595322886612008-03-07T22:30:00.000-08:002008-03-07T22:30:00.000-08:00I usually email my exchange partner if I don't alr...I usually email my exchange partner if I don't already know their likes/dislikes and get a feel or if there is something they would really liked stitch. I don't want to stitch something for someone that they won't like. That is a really good question.<BR/>www.karenaz.blogspot.com (stitching and sharing)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10785139952602149640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-21615273466224908072008-03-07T10:41:00.000-08:002008-03-07T10:41:00.000-08:00I think all the things you mention are things I've...I think all the things you mention are things I've tried to take into consideration for the Birthday Exchange, which will be my first.<BR/><BR/>Love What's Up Doc!

I will try to do something that my partner would like, by checking the wish list on the blog and by what pictures are posted of what has been stitched.

I just try to guage what their interests are from past projects and wishlist and pick something that I would enjoy making for them. My challenge right now is language.

I've participated in the F&S exchange since round 2 and am participating in the HoE pinkeep exchange (this is my first exchange with a completely finished item.) I definately try to figure out my partners likes/dislikes, I would feel really bad if I made them something they hate!!! I peak at their wishlist, what others have made them and vice versa. Sometimes there just isn't much info, so I try to make the best judgement I can. I guess one could always contact the moderator to ask your recipient if they could give a few suggestions.stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232252768290204726noreply@blogger.com
