Oops, I hadn't read all the posts. Ricky too! Whahoo. Kathie

Wow, I was excited before, and now that we'll be getting signed triangles from our "stars," it's even more thrilling! So glad I joined this exchange! Now if I could just get to my studio...

Is this quilt heaven??? Alex AND Ricky - whoa!

Received an email from Debbie stating she received my triangles, now I have 3 mo's to wait for a return package. Guess I'll have to find another project(s) to work on, maybe one of my many, many UFO's(?) This is my first time participating in an exchange and also of using the Forum. Never knew we had soooooooooooo many wonderful quilters out there. Many thanks to all the volunteers and the support groups. Looking forward to seeing what quilts and/or projects everyone comes up with. Might have to have a special Chapter for all of them.

Happy Quilting and many, many prayers to our Sisters and Brothers in Australia.

WOW....this is great!!! Having Edyna, Alex and Ricky participating too...fantastic !!! and THANKS to all the gals down in Texas who have taken on the challenge of sorting all these HSTs.
BTW: it was minus 22 this morning here in southern Montana...so all of you south and east of here, hang on !!! the cold stuff is coming!

[Debbie W.]

Great news! Alex and Ricky are both on board for our exchange! Woo Hoo!!!!! Yes, we will be getting signed HST from both. Clara

Woo Hoo! And I would love to have Edyta do the same!

Edyta is on board since the beginning I believe. What a great exchange.

Yes, Edyta has been on board since we started this. If she has time, she'll probably sign her HSTs, too.

How exciting to have Alex and Ricky on board with us for the exchange!

[Dawn S.]

Whew!!! 500 HST down, 116 to go! Plus some for Austrailia flood (and cyclone?) victims. Then it's on to the Batik exchange! Thank you again Debbie and Clara, for all of the attention you have given to all of us! We appreciate everything you are doing so that we can have fun!

Dawn--good reminder to everyone--if you can--plez send some extra HSTs to Debbie to go to the flood victims in Australia. I think we are
to package them separately--so Debbie can send them on to the women putting those quilts together.

[Cheryl K.]

Ok, I'm almost there! I will be sending 10 sheets (280 HST) for the exchange and 3 sheets (84 HST) for the Australian flood victims.

In order to save time of writing name, town on EACH TRIANGLE, I printed off the info on some mini return address stickers using the Avery 5267 template. Thought that others might have something similar. Sure saved a ton of time for me!

[Cheryl K.]

Just put our special Goundhog Day dinner in the oven (yes, we do up Groundhog Day in a big way in my house--including gifts!), and there is just enough time to grab some fabric from my stash to get started on my HSTs.

294 Done and 323 more to go! or more. Once I get started I can't stop.

My quilting buddies. When you are packing your triangles to ship to Texas for the sorting and want to include some for Australia. Please, please, pretty please pack them in an extra baggie marked Australia. The Australia HST are a choice and not a requirement. Thanks. Clara

[Cheryl K.]

Shipping Hint. For our from the USA. If you use the Tyvex envelopes to ship in, they work really great and are very lightweight. (That's how I'm going to ship mine) Please remember to bag your HST in an additional baggie. This is important for weather. Double check the guidelines in the front for markings and the extra envelopes and stuff.

My Mom is coming this weekend for a sewing frenzy and fabric shopping. It's her first quilt and I'm soooo excited. She has gone with me for years to the Houston quilt show and it would be great to making of quilts with her as well.

Happy quilting. Clara

Clara,
It sounds like a fun time is on the way to you and your mom! She'll love fabric shopping and sewing and you'll have a special bonding time to boot! My daughter and I have scheduled the following weekend for our HST adventure. She is a new quilter too! We took a beginning quilt class together this last August and she loved it! (It was my second beginner's class but you can never get enough pointers or practice in my book!)
