If you find out anything that will be helpful to your fellow countryment, please be sure to post it.

Thanks Mimuscraft for this very helpful information.

I just got e-mail back from our post. It is possible to pay return postage on international mail. So here in Finland I can buy something called 'international reply coupon' (don't know what it is excatly in English). I understood I should by enough of those coupons and send them with HST's and reply envelope. So you can change those coupons to stamps in USA and send back my mix of HST's. I think this is not cheapest way, I will have to pay 1,65 euros for one coupon to get 0,75 euros worth of stamps. And it is more hassle to you sisters organizing this. So if any one knows better way to pay return postage, please tell.
By the way, I found perfect pattern for this and will be sending 168 triangles.

Edit: Every time I have ordered fabrics from USA (you have so delicious fabrics there..not to mention the price), the postage has been 12-14 dollars. I think the envelope costs that and the shop I have used can stuff there up 8-9 yards of fabric.

Sounds like fun.

Count me in. I will make the minimum number but will likely make more. From Ottawa ON Canada. Looking forward to it. Not sure how to get American stamps or return postage to you. Will have to investigate that. If my fellow Canadians know, please advise. Thanks Cheers Heather

Can my sisters join if they are not quilt show members and I hope my profile pic shows now

Hi this is Sue or snflrz4u2 (sunflowers 4 u 2) I am definetely in. Can't wait till I recieve my first HST I am from Cadillac, MI. I actually talked to Edyta when I ordered my paper and thread. She is so so friendly.

Hi-- I'd like to join the sisterhood. I'll be ordering the paper this morning. This sounds like so much fun!

I have already joined but I did not mention how many triangle I was going to make. I am in for 700. I started last night making some triangles and it goes really fast. I already have 308 made and it only took me a few hours. This is so relaxing and fun!!!!

I do have a question on pressing. I tried to find my answer in the blog but I could not.

Are we to press them open into a HST square patch with papers on or are we to just leave them as a sewn triangle with the papers on?

I would love to participate in this too!

Although I have never used this paper before and I am confused about what the final piece should look like after sewing and cutting (and leave the paper on?). Could someone send me additional info please?

Count me in.

ANYTHING YOU WANT! I intend to make a quilt! The size of the quilt can be determined by the number of HSTs you share, or you can make more to add to it for a larger project. Any quilt that requires 2" (finished size) HSTs can be used, but I've ordered two of Edyta Sitar's books to get some ideas and patterns. Check out her wonderful web site:

I really hope that by the end of the year we will be seeing lots of wonderful "Sisterhood" quilts posted in the Quilt Gallery and in the Forum!
