I'lll probably use the mailing labels too...Avery 8167 (80 labels per sheet) will easily fit on the papers. Jane

After reading these posts, I'm going to look in to printing out some labels on my computer. :?

I will be using a Superior Thread. Masterpiece is a cotton but a lightweight like the Aurifil. I was going to pick out a neutral med brown kinda like a brass brown. I honestly haven't picked out the color yet, but I would think about neutral shades.

I can't wait to get my papers and start! This morning I went through my fat quarters and chose the ones I want to use. They're ready and waiting. I'll definitely mark the papers before sewing and am looking forward to making bunches of them.

If you haven't had a chance to watch episode 802 where Edyta shows her quilts made from the HST's in an exchange like this yet, make sure you do. This whole thing makes so much more sense, and her quilts are awesome! And I had also noticed that many of our friends who are responding to this are posting for the first time. This is really something that will bring us closer together. Welcome to all of you!

Being a librarian, I had to research the topic of IRC's for our overseas friends. "International Reply Coupons" (IRC's) were created in 1906 by the Universal Postal Union to allow people to send letters and postage for a reply to other countries. This website tells a bit about it and also contains a list of countries who honor the coupons. http://www.upu.int/en/activities/international-reply-coupons/about-irc.html For the amount you would need to purchase, contact your local post office.

Like Barb, I'm using MasterPiece cotton. Probably #154 Sculptor's Clay: http://www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/3-000-yds/products/

Thanks, Barb and Margo. I love Superior Thread.--Pat

This sounds like great fun and the resulting quilt will be a special TQS Family/Guild keepsake! Please add me to the list!

Oh, Margo......my hand (and head) hurts just thinking about this. I plan on making 700! :shock: DH suggested I have a stamp made. Hmmm.

One awesome thing I've noted about this exchange is the number of people who have been members for some time and this is their first post! Way to bring us together. :D
It will be quite interesting to see what quilts will be made from this. I'm not certain that I'd use all of them in one quilt; I'll have to see the triangles first. Some could be used as a border, or other portion of a quilt. It will be a fun surprise to see what I get.

Hey Jan! I'm also thrilled with all the new activity on the forum!!

A stamp would be a great alternative! I also thought about using return address labels!

I feel like a kid in a classroom writing "I will not talk in class" 100 times on the chalkboard! :lol:
Not that I would really know what that feels like! :roll:

WHEW! After writing my name, state and country on about half of the package of Edyta's triangles I can report that:
1) It's a really boring job, but I hope every does it!
2) I like the fact that the ink in the new Sharpie Pen doesn't bleed through the paper
3) I like the fact that the ink in the new Sharpie Pen doesn't have that offensive chemical oder of their other markers.
4) I think that the Sharpie Pen is the most uncomfortable pen I own to write with! :shock: Someone needs to work on the shape of this! :roll:

(If you click twice on the photo you can even see what I wrote!)

:roll: Okay, what am I getting myself into with this? Sounds like fun, so think I will give it a try. Scrap quilts are my favorite, so this should be right up my alley! Bev
