Members -  Joining SOLAK -  Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to join SOLAK to send squares?

No, anyone can send us squares.  Becoming a member allows you the opportunity to see what quilts and cushions we are currently working on and whom they are for.  You can also join in with members’ Stitch-a-longs and other group activities. However if you would only like to donate squares as a one off, you can contact us to arrange where to send them.

What happens after I join SOLAK?

Once you become a member you will receive a membership number.  This can be stitched at the bottom of each square along with your name and location and is to help us identify who you are and notify you when any squares you send are received.  It also means that people who receive gifts can see where each square has come from and how many different stitchers have been involved.

When you visit the group members' site you will find information about quilts and cushions in progress, who they are being made for and when they are sent out.  Any e-mails or thank you notes we receive are also passed on to the group so that members can see what a huge difference they really make in others’ lives with something they love doing so much.

Does it cost anything to join SOLAK?

Nope, not a thing.  We don’t want your money – just your squares.

What happens if I don’t want to be a SOLAK member anymore?

Just go to the group members' site and unsubscribe.

I don’t know how to cross-stitch; can I still join SOLAK?

There’s nothing we like better than to take some poor innocent soul and turn them into a cross stitch addict.  If you would like to get involved check out our on line group or email us.  There is always someone willing to help lure you in to one of the best hobbies ever!  If cross stitch really isn’t for you though there are plenty of other ways to help.  We are always looking for people to make cards that can be sent out with gifts or members who want to help with the behind-the-scenes work.  If you have any ideas, contributions, comments…just visit the contacts page and get in touch.
