Thanks for backing CROQ Zine #12! We’re excited that we’ve received full funding! Special thanks to Rachel of Swap-Bot and Rosalie of Unanimous Craft. They both offered to match the last day’s worth of donations that came in, and helped us raise the last little bit of the money we needed. It was so touching to have crafty friends rally around and help raise the last funds. I love you, crafty community!

We anticipate getting the Kickstarter funds in about 2 weeks, getting the zine from the printer in about 3 weeks, so you can expect to see your copy of it (and any other applicable goodies) in about a month (a little more for non-USA friends).

About 12 hours ago, Rosalie Gale of Unanimous Craft announced that she would match any donations to the Print CROQ 12 Fundraiser that were made in the name of Unanimous Craft – what awesome news. I am so touched by this gesture and by the supportiveness and kindness of the craft scene. I have never been disappointed by the generosity of crafty folks!

Then, this morning, Rachel Johnson of Swap-Bot announced that she would match the last $60 in pledges that came in, until the full $2000 was raised.

I can’t explain how amazing it is to be supported by these two women. Thank you both so much, and thanks to those who have taken them up on their generous offers!

We only need $60 in additional pledges in 24 hours. We can do it!

A $5 pledge is like pre-ordering the zine. And then an additional $10 will be donated – how awesome!

Here’s the deal. I need to raise almost $900 in the next 10 days in order to print CROQ issue #12. If I don’t raise the full $2000, I don’t get ANY of the pledges!
