BATIKS-R-US fabric exchange

[Dawn S.]

So, is this a growing COMMUNITY of friendship or what?

My DH asked me this morning " So, how's Ritzy?"

This exchange is taking over my life, and you gals are getting into my bones! I like the quote from SOTTTs about quilters. This is fun and a great way to brighten up the mid-winter yuckies. Spring is just around the corner.
Bless you all.

Ritzy is fine. Teresa--woohoo; so glad you are still joining us. Peggy--you rock!

That is exactly what I do every day too :!: I've lurked around the site since it's inception, but I'm finally getting the nerve to post a little bit I'm kind of shy until I get to know you ops:

[Margo C.]

Trust me, the more you put into the site, the more you will get out of it! Glad to have you posting!

[Margo C.]

Me too! I'm not in this exchange, but I'm in the Sottts and I just mailed my hst's yesterday. I feel like a kid waiting for Santa Claus to come! We still have over a month to wait. I can't wait to see what I get back!

I'm in there too with coffee and you gals first thing in the morning, it's great, gets me off to a good start. :lol: :lol:

I am still in bed with a cup of tea on the side and the laptop on my legs. I have to catch up on evrything that has happened around the world while I have been asleep, oh and every few hours during the day :wink: :wink: Sometimes its an effort to put the laptop down and find some time to quilt lol.

I've finished my HSTs but am down with a respiratory infection and am not clear headed enough to package. Hopefully that will be done in the next few days. Anyway, I have a question regarding the Batik Tonga strips. I plan on using them in a quilt and have washed up some fat quarters I'm using but I'm not sure about these 2 inch strips. I always wash everything that will be used on a bed and this is a bed quilt. Do I wash or not?

Thanks

I just read on the Sisterhood thread about how Debbie is doing her organizing. I am doing mine the same way except I am using a database to keep my info. organized. I put in the date you let me know that you mailed your package and then I check everyday to see if any are long over due. Just received a package from England and it took 5 days to get here--not bad. My hope is the more organized I am now--the easier it will be later.

It is important that you tape the flap on your envelopes. I received one this week that was open--everything was in there but the glue didn't hold. I think possibly it was when the mail person shoved it in the mailbox she squeezed the air out and that opened the package when she shoved more in--I received 7 packages that day.

To date I have received 41 packages so I have a lot more to get yet.
