I posted my pic and started making my HSTs last night. 56 so far. Technology can be a challenge, but once you've got it, you've got it!!! Sure would be nice if everyone could post their pictures. It's such fun to be able to put a face to a name (or at least a screen name). Debbie

ACK! I can't find the specifications post. What size are the finished HST supposed to be?

The Guidlines can be found in the very 1st Forum post on Page 1. The finished size (once sewn in your project) will be 2". When you've finished sewing and triming your papers, IF, and only if, you were to unfold your triangles into a square, that square will measure 2-1/2". There is also a step-by-step list that I also posted on Page 14 (I think it's on page 14?

)

But remember, you are not going to open the triangles or tear the paper off. When your finished sewing and triming, press it while it is folded so it wil set the threads. And please, please, please do NOT open or tear the paper off. That should ensure that all the HST's will arrive to their final destination just as neatly as they left your homes.

I'm sorry I keep harping on this particular topic, but it is very important and needs to be adhered to. Thanks!

Return international postage to the UK. At the post office here they tell me I we will need international reply coupons bought from the post office £1.40p each. which you will use in the US to purchase stamps to put on my return envelope. Is this OK ? I have calculated after weighing my HST's I will need 7 coupons to buy the postage of $13.95, which I will have to enclose in with my packets of HST's. Hope this makes sense, and some one is willing to purchase stamps for us overseas participants with our Reply coupons. Dorothy Suffolk England

Thanks for this very useful information, Dorothy.

And yes, I would be willing to purchase the stamps with the International Reply Coupons. It will most likely delay mailing the return package to you for a couple of days until I could get to the post office. But it does sound like this might be the answer to the International mailing/return issue. Everyone will just need to make sure that they have included sufficient postage and maybe just a tiny bit more...just in case!

Dorthy is in England so we know it's available there, but if you're in Australia, etc., would someone please check with their postal service to see if you can do it and if you have helpful information, you can post the information in really big letters & in color too. That way will get everyone's attention by using the icons at the top of the reply post LIKE THIS!

I am in! I will make 280 triangles!

A few questions:
Do we cut the dog ears off?
Do we have to put our name, screenname, city and state on each triangle? That's a lot of info in a small space!

Michelle, it's not necessary, but I put my screen name, state and country for those interested in documenting their international quilt.
I got 700 marked yesterday. It only took about 10 minutes per sheet to hand write the info.

There have been several posts explaining other ways to mark the triangles. Glad you are joining us!

Michelle, you don't have to trim the dog ears off, but you can if you want to. On the triangle, you don't include your screen name.
You can just put your state if you prefer, just add U.S. for the benefit of those who don't know all of our states. Whatever works best for you is fine. Everyone is asking that the states/countries be included so they know where their HST's were from, so we made that suggestion.

I have been trying to work out a way to send the postage costs for Australia because according to the post office we don't have the voucher system that some people have mentioned. So far the only thing I have been able to find apart from PayPal,is a western union money transfer through Aust Post. I don't think that it is appropriate though. If any one knows how to send the funds across can they please let me know.

Robbi OFFLINE Posts: 2	I tried posting to this group last night but I don't think it went to the correct place. Anyway I definately want to participate in this exchange. It reminds me of the exchanges that were going on around the year 2000. I collected so many beautiful fabrics and got to know many interesting quilters from everywhere. Thanks for organizing.
