HAPPY SCRAPPER MEMBERSHIP

MISSION STATEMENT:

     The Happy Scrapper Bee was organized for the purpose of using our stash and promoting friendship among our members. Emphasis is on good workmanship and quality control. We would stress to our members the importance of:
1.   Using only 100% cotton fabric.
2.   All fabric used in a project should be washed.
3.   Sew using accurate ¼” seams and good quality stitch length.
4.   All blocks should be ironed before turning in.
5.   Blocks will be turned in on time. (if you are unable to attend the designated meeting, please get your blocks to a member who will be attending.)
6.   Blocks for exchange should be pinned or bagged including a label with your name and total number of block sets.
7.   Each member is responsible for measuring each of your blocks for accuracy before turning into the exchange captain.
8.   The exchange captain will spot check blocks and any problems will be returned to the maker. (Please do not think of this as anything other than a learning experience.)
9.   All projects should stay within the scrappy stash.
