 Potholder Exchange Rules

POTHOLDER EXCHANGE, now to 30 June 1994:

Welcome to the Potholder Exchange! For each person in your group, you
will be making one potholder in the style and medium of your choice.
Potholders should be at least 6"x 6" (or larger), and made in a material
that will be heat resistant. Some materials, such as polyester, will
melt in the heat. Other materials are ideal for potholders, such as the
aforementioned ironing board cover teflon material. Good fillers include
old thick terry cloth towels, non-polyester blankets, and thick felt.

When you have finished the potholder, be sure to mail it in a
tamper-resistant package to the recipient. It is acceptable to let the
recipient know in the echo that your potholder is on its way, as it is
to acknowledge receipt of one. (It would help to use combined messages
whenever possible, to save numbers of messages and repeating the same
thing over and over again.)

Let's try to have all potholders mailed out by the end of June, so that
we may get on with other echo exchanges? :)  Thanks!
