I feel like one of those little kids on the Disney commercial. . . I'M SO EXCITED!!!! I can hardly wait. I have been looking feverishly for my HST papers in the mail and finally went to the website to check my cart. Now that I actually completed the transaction they should be here soon and I will be able to get mine done and out! This is the first time I have ever done anything like this and I really appreciate all the work of the organizers.

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	I found that it's lots easier to heat set the stitched seams with a hot dry iron BEFORE I cut them apart. I pressed from the fabric side and it made everything lie nice and flat before I cut out the triangles on the lines.

sugarmuffin57 OFFLINE Posts: 179	In the directions it says to press them after you get them all done and cut. I pressed on the fabric side and the point of the paper curled. I tried the paper side and it seems fine. Is that o.k. or is there a reason to press on the fabric side? Thanx, Karen

I would surely look for that cement mixing truck. Hummm I bet it would hold all of them. Clara Besides the fact that 615 does not divide into increments of 28!

O.K. guys, I have the easiest solution for everyone........ready?........just dump them all on the table and start throwing them up in the air!
What? you don't think that will work? Ahhh but it would be so much fun. Hee Hee.

Nah....just kidding. We love our organizers. Hope you still love us when you are done.

Not a bad idea at all, thanks Sugarmuffin! Or we could dump them all of the floor and make "HST' angels like Edyta's fabric angel in the April issue of American Patchwork & Quilting. It's a really cool picture and article...check it out.

Sure is something to consider

Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Karen the options already considered are: leaf blower, cement mixer, cement TRUCK, and the Hogwarts Sorting Hat! I'm so glad the organizers are more organized than I am!

Kudos to the volunteers! It has turned out to be a huge undertaking and I'm sure they will do a wonderful job distributing all those little treasures. The most IMPORTANT thing to me is to receive triangles from ALL of the countries represented. It'll be a wonderful conversation piece.

Shirley, We will try our best to make sure that everyone does get some from the other countries, but maybe not every country. When you consider the enormity of the sorting effort, I'm sure you'll understand why. And, consider if only one country has one member participating and they only send in a hundred or so...there are 615 members, the math just doesn't add up.

I am with you Shirley I so appreciate the volunteers and will cherish each triangle I receive. I am adding triangles for the Australian flood victims and something for our organizers to buy a stiff drink afterwards. Margo if they are drunk they won't order the firing squad. I hope this will be filmed by TQS they started it. Good Luck SOTTs. Joan

Yeah...but if they get the drinks before they start, we may all be in trouble! They would be sotted SoTTTs!
