Quiltingboard Forums - 2013 Quilt for Quilters Swap (Closed)

Welcome to the 2nd Quilt for Quilters Swap. This swap is for quilters who would like to swap a fully completed, lap-size quilt with another quilter.

Guidelines:

Sign up for this swap by January 15, 2013. Quilts must be finished and mailed by July 1, 2013.

Size: no smaller than 45" x 60"; no larger than 60" x 60". 100% cotton fabric.

See http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-20154-1.htm for general swap rules.

I am required to insist that participants send me a monthly PM to verify that they are still active in this swap and are working on their promised project.

I am required to insist that participants notify me as soon as they have finished their quilt and are ready to mail it.

Once I have received notice that both partners are done and ready to mail, I will send both a PM to let them know it’s time to mail.

I am required to insist that all participants send me verification of shipment, to include tracking information.

Participants are required to ensure packages will not arrive “postage due.”

Any and all other fees, such as import duties, taxes, etc imposed by the recipient’s government are the sole responsibility of the recipient.

Absent legitimate and reported mitigating circumstances, participants who have not fulfilled their obligation by July 1, 2013 shall be deemed “late” and risk receiving Negative [Swap] Feedback.

Please keep in touch with your partner and me as required. Please let us know right away if something happens that will interfere with your ability to complete your project on time.
Swappers should treat each other as friends and focus on the fun. So … please be prepared to be flexible, patient and understanding if necessary and appropriate.
To participate, please PM me the following information. The best matches happen when you can be as specific as possible. I will then compare what people want to make and receive, and do my best to find compatible matches. Participants are encouraged to communicate any concerns about the swap or their partner selection to me at any time during the swap.

NOTE: Incomplete entries will not be accepted.
