DOLL QUILT SWAP for AUGUST 2014

This Month's theme....9 Patch! You choose colors, size, style, and layout. The only requirement your DQ must have at lease one nine-patch within the borders.

To join this month's Doll Quilt Swap.....

Just send me, Quilting Krazy, a PM no later than JULY 31.

Please let me know If you are willing to swap internationally,
we have a few members who are outside the USA.

Please do not mail your doll quilt until BOTH partners are ready to mail.

Help me KEEP TRACK: When you mail off your quilt, please send me a PM with your partner's name. Also send one when you receive a quilt you’re your partner. This will help me keep track and to ensure that everyone receives a quilt.




Partner Assignment: Partners will be assigned on August 1st, so Bookmark this thread for partner assignment –


Mailing Deadline: You must have your quilt in the mail no later than last day of current month swap event--so that would mean August 31, 2014. If you do not think you can meet that deadline, you might want to wait a month or two until your schedule frees up and you don’t feel pressured.


LABEL: Please add a label or sign your quilt on the back with your name and the date. It is a wonderful record of your work and years from now, it will help your partner remember who made this magnificent work of art! If your quilt is reversible and you don’t want to sign it, please include a card or attach a removable tag with your Quilting Board name or real name if different.


MANNERS: Don’t for get to thank your partner. A simple post on the thread for the month is terrific, but a PM is nicer still. Please leave feedback for your partner.


PHOTOS: At the Quilting Board we love photos! A big part of the doll quilt fun is seeing what everyone has created, but as with most things in life, there is a little etiquette to follow. Usually the receiver will post a photo, but not everyone has a camera, so please photograph your quilt before you send it just in case. Don’t post a photo until your partner receives your quilt so the surprise won’t be spoiled. If you cannot post a photo, please ask your partner to do so.


COMMUNICATION: If something unexpected comes up and for any reason you cannot meet the deadline or need to drop out of the swap, please let your partner and me know as soon as you know. If you take the time to communicate any difficulties, I can make sure things work out favorably for you and your partner with no hard feelings as a result. If, however, you just disappear off the face of the earth, you will not be permitted to participate in future swaps until you make good on your commitment.
