3. Everyone is required to send me a sample block within two months after receiving their fabric swatches. This will be your charity block for our breast cancer quilt. If you cannot meet this deadline I will assume you will not be able to meet the final deadline and I will be forced to find another participant from your assigned state. Please do not be late with your sample block.
RETURN POSTAGE
1. Along with your sample block, you must mail the following to me:
a. One self-addressed label.
b. One self-addressed stamped priority envelope. Please place $5.00 in stamps on the envelope. Priority envelopes can be picked up at any post office for free.
c. Optional... $1.00 donation for the backing and batting for the charity quilt.
DEADLINE DATES
1. The deadline dates will go into effect when ALL History Forms are in the database. Keep in mind it takes time to confirm 50+ quilters. Please be patient. IT WILL TAKE A WHILE, especially if you are one of the first participants to be confirmed.
2. We will have several deadlines. The first 12 blocks are due 6 weeks after I have received everyones History Form in the database. Then there will be 10 blocks due every 6 weeks until all 50+ blocks have been received.
3. If any quilter does not meet the first deadline date of their first set of 12 blocks, then the hostess has the optionof dropping them from the exchange and finding an alternate from our waiting lists.
4. If a quilter sends in their first set and is late with their second set of blocks without notifying the hostess in advance then she has the option of finding a replacement quilter and WILL keep the quilters first set of 12 blocks to be put towards the replacement set of blocks so our group will stay on schedule. So if you are going to be late be sure you keep in close contact with your hostess so you will not be replaced and loose your blocks and postage.
5. Please remember that if you have NOT notified the hostess about the late blocks, then a quilter will have taken your place and please do not expect the hostess to return any blocks or postage. If this occurs then the blocks that you have already submitted WILL be forfeited to your replacement swapper.
6. When the deadline date arrives, the hostess will start sorting the blocks and mailing out completed packages to each participant who has sent in a completed set no later than a month and a half after the deadline date.
7. If you have notified the hostess that any of your blocks are going to be late, then the completed packages WILL STILL GO OUT ON SCHEDULE WITHOUT your blocks and you must send in your blocks with 50+ stamped (at least $.55 per envelope) envelopes with your return address in your package of late blocks so the hostess can mail them out separately. After your blocks have been mailed out separately then the hostess will mail you your returning blocks from our group. If you have NOT notified the hostess about the late blocks then a quilter will have taken your place and please do not expect the hostess to return any blocks or postage.
