    Wow...it looks like this exchange is going full speed now! It won't be long before you catch up with the SoTTT's exchange. Ritzy, I hope someone steps up to help you as Clara did for me...that has been a blessing.

    Congratulations, Batiks-R-Us members, you are going to have some beautiful projects for Show & Tell.

      Margo has been such a tremendous help to me and I noticed that some of the other members are answering questions for me and that helps a lot also. TQS member Michelle has said she will drive an hour to help so, so far all is good.

          Light is LIGHT batik. Can be creamy, can be beige, can be tan, can be ecru, can be pale peachy, etc. These will all blend nicely together!

            One HST per person sounds good to me. I'm sure the number will be higher, seems like the number of participants is starting to grow faster now that the deadline for signing in is getting close. Looking forward for the final number.
            Thanks Ritzy and Margo for keeping up with the posts.
            Thank you Ritzy for hosting the exchange, you're in charge, you set the rules! :wink:

              Ladies, I would still like us to be leaning toward cream/white/ beige for our lights. I know there are problems for some but if at all possible--this is what I would like to see happen. Our count right now is 116. Some have asked if they can send more than one per person and I am not sure how that would work. Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks ladies (we don't have any men, yet).

                  I am only able do one hst per person. If someone else felt that they wanted to send me more that one that would be very generous of them, and greatly appreciated, however I can only send them one in return. I wait for other people opinions on this and a final ruling by Ritzy and Margo.

                  I am so pleased to be able to take part in this exchange. An international TQS frendship quilt is going to be wonderful to have.

                    One HST per participant would really help Ritzy by keeping the exchange process very simple, but that's her call. No matter how many you send in....that's how many you will get back. So if you are doing extras, you will probably be getting some of your own back.

                    I understand that some people may not want to do that many, but really, it doesn't take very long. We are probably only talking about 4-5 sheets per person depending on how many more sign up by Monday.
                    I hope everyone will make that effort.

                        One per person is fine for me. I'm waiting for the final number before separating these from the other exchange. Yes, they are pretty quick to make. I've made over 1000 total for both exchanges and will be keeping some of them for myself.
