Guidelines : Blocks due
August 5, 2008
- TYPE OF BLOCK: Blocks can be
pieced, appliquéd or paper pieced (not machine embroidered). Use
your imagination!!! Appliqué must be securely stitched down, either
by hand or machine. No open edges will be accepted. Embellishments
must be securely fastened (please DO NOT glue on eyes, etc.). No
paint pens. No invisible thread!
- FABRICS: Use only good quality,
100% cotton fabrics. If I suspect the content of your fabric, I will
test it. If I can watch TV through your block, it will be returned.
(joking here, but you get the idea)
- SIZE: Blocks may be square or
rectangular, with each side a minimum of 10 inches and a maximum of
15 inches (finished sizes). You will get back a mix of sizes to make
a fun sampler quilt!
- NUMBER OF BLOCKS: You may send up
to 20 blocks, with no more
than 5 being the same. This means your blocks may all be
different... Or you can make different sets of 5. Blocks will be
swapped one for one, so if you only make 3 blocks, but still wish to
participate -- by all means -- send them in and join the fun!!
- SIGNUP: Please join by emailing
Sindy
. I will then email you my
address to send your blocks to.
- MAILING: Please label each
individual block with your name, email address, and your city/state.
Use a safety pin, basting stitch, or self-adhesive labels to attach
to your blocks. Please do not use straight pins (ouch!) and please
DO NOT write on your blocks.
- POSTAGE: Include a self-addressed,
stamped envelope with your blocks. Your return envelope should be
the same size and have the same amount of postage as the envelope
you used to mail your blocks to me. Please write on the lower left
front of your envelope the number of blocks you are including This
becomes a big help during the swapping process. Stamps Only,
please!!! Do not use metered mail stickers for your return mail.
They are only valid for the day they are issued! US priority mail
envelopes are preferred and are free of charge at your local post
office. Do make sure you have adequate postage.
Swapped blocks will not be returned without a self-addressed
envelope with the correct postage on it, so please be thorough in
your packaging efforts.
I
reserve the right to return unswapped any blocks unsuitable for
swapping.
