The Idea:
"Water is the elixir of life," and the most valuable resour-ce on our planet. What are your associations with this element?
We are inviting you, quilters around the world, to take part in our second International Block Swap (IBS2). Make 9 quilt blocks with a water theme and send them to us. All parti-cipants will be grouped into teams and the blocks will be swapped within the team. You will get back your own block plus 8 different blocks from quilters around the world.
Join in and become part of an exciting international quil-ting activity!
The Rules:
Sew 9 identical RECTANGULAR blocks 6" x 18" or 15 cm x 45 cm plus a seam allowance of 1/4“ or 0.75 cm on each side.
The predominant colour MUST be BLUE (ie more than 50% of the surface should be blue). More colours MAY be used. Please use only good quality, prewashed cotton fabric.
You may use any textile technique or any block pattern. If you use embellishments, please make sure that these don‘t exceed a depth of 1/4" or 0.5 cm and that the block can still be quilted.
Please enclose 9 picture postcards of your town/region/country in your block package. You may use the postcard to convey as much information about yourself as you wish (eg hobbies, family, e-mail and/or mail address etc.).
deadline: 31 december 2013
We will send out the swapped blocks in January 2014.
Should you have any questions, please contact us. Unfor-tunately, blocks which don‘t comply with these rules, can-not be included in IBS2 and will be returned. In this case, we will not be able to refund the registration fee.
The Registration Fee:
The registration fee for EACH set of blocks is as follows:
15 Euros for EU participants
20 Euros (or 25 USD) for everyone else
The return shipping address for the block packages is the determining factor.
All paid up members of Quilt around the World should deduct the special member discount of 5 Euros.
Please transfer the registration fee for EACH set of blocks and don‘t forget to include your name and "IBS2" on your payment order. All possible payment methods are listed on the back of this flyer. Only send cash as a last resort!
As soon as the last package has been sent, we will donate all remaining monies to Global Nature Fund's Living Lakes project (www.globalnature.org).
The "Water for the World" Community Quilt:
We would like to have a lasting reminder of IBS2 and to this end are asking you to make and send an extra block on a voluntary basis, of course, which we will then sew together to make a gigantic "Water for the World" community quilt.
