ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	I think when I do the sorting for the batiks exchange that I am going to try putting the baggies up on my design wall and then do assembly line. Hope it works otherwise DH may have to take the dogs and leave the house for a while to avoid the sounds coming out of my studio. LOL.

A thought for all those who missed the deadline, MAYBE there's enough of you to start a second swap? This one started with no idea how many folks would join or how many HST's there would be, there's nothing to say a second swap wouldn't get as big or bigger! Someone's just got to step up like our fearless leaders did here. I wouldn't be surprised if there were folks who'd participate in two...

If another swap is organized while this one is still active, please make sure that there is no confusion on anyone's part about what they're supposed to do or who they need to communicate with for that particular swap. The exchanges need to be kept absolutely 100% completely separate. I would hate to start receiving HST's at the Sisterhood P.O. Box that weren't intended for the Sisterhood Exchange.

I get a headache just TRYING to figure out how you're going to sort these! After all is said and done, please post how in the name of heaven you got it done!!!!!!!! What a process. Thank you for taking this on for us!!!

Clara and I are aleady getting headaches just trying to figure out the best approach and I've only received one box of HST's so far...only 614 more to receive and store somewhere in my house!!! If we're still sane after April, we'll let you know what the process was and we do plan on documenting it with photos.

Oh Oh! Just finished my 6th sheet of HST when something popped from the back of my mind to the front

Did Edyta say something about putting the paper on top of the light fabric? It bothered me so I looked back at that segment and she did. If you put the paper on top of the light fabric it makes it easier to iron the seam to the dark side. Hopefully I am the only dunce in the Sister/Brotherhood to have made this mistake - only on 3 of the papers - but never mind I will redo and send correct ones with the paper on top of the light.

Nan...sounds like you might have some extras of your own to put into your project. Thanks so much for double checking and making sure how it needed to be done.

I encourage everyone to rewatch Edyta's show at least once and maybe more if you have questions about the construction technique.

Re:Clara Lawrence suggestion of signatures on transfer paper

Signature blocks on transfer paper sounds like a great idea! For those that do not want to do the transfer paper; maybe when these quilters post that they have received their envelopes with their HST’s, they could also post their name at that time (first name is fine, or as much of their name as they want to) along with city, state and/or country and/or province & the quilter could add that name onto the quilt. Just so we have a historical record for the quilt.

Excited my papers arrived today! Barbara from Bluffton, SC-USA

While most of you are focusing on the actual sorting, my mind is wandering to the recieving and storing of all the the large envelopes and boxes! I'm guessing there will be days that Debbie is picking up 20 or 30 or even 40 boxes and envelopes from the PMB place. And, will probably have to stop there daily, and bring them home to store before the big day. I am trying to picture 615 packages stored ANYWHERE in my condo. Not even a possibility! This whole project is mind boggling, and my hat is off to Debbie and Clara for volunteering! How do we say "Thank you?" Personally, I think it would be wonderful if we could all send a fat quarter to Debbie and Clara! They will have definitely earned them!

Cher4 OFFLINE Posts: 38	Ritzy is hosting a batik hst exchange. I think I read the deadline she has for saying you are going to participate is Feb 7th. I saw it under specific fabric exchange but if Margo sees this she can probably give you the url for getting there.
