Communication and swap rules
All the communication during the swap, such as details, sponsors, giveaways, weekly tasks, etc will be done in 2 ways: posts on my Instagram and Newsletter emails!! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram in case you don’t, and click on the bell or star on the top right of the screen on my Instagram page to activate the alerts every time I post something new!!
Subscribing to my Newsletter is very important to keep updated, the emails will go with all the direct links for you to access as soon as I post something new. (scroll down to the bottom of the page and fill out your name and email or fill up the pink newsletter box that pops up on your screen when you access my website).
Rule #1 is to make a Charm Bag from my new pattern Charm Mini Bag and fill it up with sewing and quilting goodies as much as you can and mail it to your partner.
Rule #2, please follow the schedule and mail it by the deadline. If for any reason you can’t make it, please don’t forget to let your partner know and me as well.
