DEADLINE FOR GETTING PACKAGES TO ME: APRIL 30. PLEASE PUT PACKAGES IN MAIL BY APRIL 23. Packages will be returned as soon as all are received or by May 15 at very latest. Please e-mail me privately when you mail your package.
You may send from 3 to 15 packages. These may all be the same or assorted contents. Please put your name, snail mail address & e-mail address inside each individual baggie. This is important as it helps assure you won't get one of your own baggies back (and people like to thank you personally). Put my name and snail mail address on outside of baggie.
Be sure to include a stamped, self-addressed return envelope inside of your package if you live inside the US. DO NOT USE METERED POSTAGE. (I collect stamps!)
International swappers may send $5 check or money order for return postage if that will make things easier. If you think it might be more, throw in an extra fat quarter and we'll call it even. Write "used fabric, value under $15" on mailing package.
