According the to RxR rules, you have to be present in the shop to pick up a free pattern. RxR is to get people to visit shops and promote the industry. Kits may be purchased in multiples in some shops. Some shops will mail license plates if paid for and it is always helpful to the shop if you include a large postage paid envelope for mailing. And some shops will mail the pattern free of charge with a postage paid envelope after Oct 1st. Calling ahead to the shop to check for availability and shop rules for mailings would be prudent. With so many quilt shops closing, please visit and shop your local shops if you'd like to keep them.
