Question
– Where do I send my quilt?
Answer
– Please send your quilt via UPS or FedEx or DHL.
We strongly recommend using these companies
rather than USPS. They have a better tracking
system.
Pack your quilt inside of a plastic bag, and
tape it closed. On the bag, tape an address
label TO and FROM. Put this package inside the
box and tape securely.
Send
To Address:
Cotton Spice, 509 North Pearl Avenue, Joplin,
MO 64801
Phone Number:
417-781-7226
Your quilt will be returned after publication
via the same company you used to send it.
Please feel free to
email
with any questions or ideas.
