Hi Sandie
Here are my thoughts:
I don't think size matters LOL.
I have taken part in several craft exchanges where everyone makes something for everyone else (and one for themselves LOL).
We had one person co-ordinate the exchange and post the items out. Everyone sent their items in a box which could be re-used to send the items out. If everyone includes a large label with their address on it then it can be stuck on the box and makes it a bit easier for the person doing the posting.
The postage cost will vary according to where people live - but as unless the eggs are made around a stone they should be quite light.
It's a good idea if everyone attaches a tag with their name on the each of things they make - so that the recipient knows who made what.
I think it's best just to stick to felting and needlefelting. It takes quite a while to embroider 10 Easter Eggs and we are a felting group after all.

Thought Easter eggs would be easy as beginners as well as those more
experienced can do them.
Do we:
Pick a max - min size?
Do we each make one for everyone on this group: eg 10 people on the group
then we each make 9 eggs so each person ends up with an egg from everyone
on the list! Would make a nice decoration in a bowl for easter!!
The eggs would have to be felted but they could be needlefelted, wet
felted, both methods, embroidered on????
All the eggs would need to be sent to a central person with a small amount
to cover the postage on then the eggs divided up and redistributed to each
person!
Just a few suggestions, please add any more or alternatives!!!
