UPDATE on Stimulus Package!

UPDATED!!!!!!


I know money is tight for everyone, but we need to get the money flowing! Here is a special deal for the quilters in blogland.

From March 15 thru April 15 I am offering to quilt, random pattern, on your tops for half price. That means your queen/full is $25, twin $12, and crib $7.

Here's the outline:

1. One quilt per person, unless you qualify for additional tops. See below for further details.
2. Leave a comment here on my blog. I will contact you to "schedule" your time. Remember I will schedule 2 quilts per day. (this will be your entry for the March 15 - April 15th time frame)
3 Post a link to my blog telling about "Joanne's Quilting Stimulus Package" using your blog or Facebook and you will receive credit for an additional quilt to be scheduled after April 15th. (Here is the second opportunity)
4. If you identify how you heard of the "Joanne's Quilting Stimulus Package" you can earn an additional quilt top quilted. Again, this top will be scheduled after April 15th. (Here is the third!)
Addition!!!!!
5. PASS IT ON!!!! ------ For the fun of it! Tell all of your friends about the "Quilting Stimulus" and if they sign up and mention that you referred them, you will qualify again for an additional quilt. This one is good until all 30 days are filled with names. So, PASS IT ON!!!

Here's the ugly part...payment

I am asking that you pay for half of the services to secure your spot. Payment will be required one week in advance. This will secure your spot, and guarantee your pricing. I accept cash, check, money order and even paypal. If payment is not made 7 days prior to your scheduled date you will lose your spot. This will give someone else the opportunity to cash in on this cheap....er....economical great deal.

Here's the super fine print:

Like the government, school corporations, and large financial institutions, I'm making up the rules as I go along. Especially since I've never done this before. The rules are subject to change, but unlike the above mentioned organizations, I promise to be fair and work with you. Those of you who know me, know that I am an honest stand up person that would not cheat or do something to someone else for personal gain. We will make provisions to get your top, batting, and back (please make sure it's at least 6-8 inches longer and wider than your top) to me during our correspondence.

Don't forget to please send me your email address so I can contact you to set a date for you!! Joannelendaro @ yahoo.com (remove spaces)

Thanks Ladies, let the spending, uh, saving begin!

Thanks for such a great offer!!! Count me in and please contact me to schedule.

Denise said...

I found your offer on a post to the n2quilting group on YahooGroups. Please count me in for a second top to be quilted after April 15th. And many thanks again for the great deal.

Bonnie said...

Wow! What an offer. I read about it on the yahoo group FabricholicsAnnonymous. And, I've posted on my blog "Institches With Bonnie" over on Blogspot. I've got a lovely quilt or two that would love to be used rather than sitting in a tub in the closet! Thanks. Let's get this economy moving. Or at least that's what I say when I buy quilting supplies...

Hi Joanne,
I am Rhonda's SIL. I saw a link to your blog on hers, and am interested in your 'stimulus' plan. I have been trying to post on your blog, but have been unsuccessful. Please add me to your list of quilters who need a top quilted. And I'll keep trying to post. Thanks,
Jan

Hi Joanne, I got your info from a quilting list I am on. I don’t have a blog or even know how to do a blog, but I am interested in having a top quilted. So please let me know if you’ll do it, and when you want the quilt and ½ payment. BTW, when do you want the 2nd half? Where are you located? I am in Pennsylvania .
