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!

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

Back to today's chore!

gaisy OFFLINE Posts: 3	I posted several hours ago saying I'd like to participate but I'm not seeing my post anywhere, so I'll try again. (This window looks different so my last post may have gone to the wrong place?) I plan to send in 10 sheets/280 blocks (I've doubled the amount since the other post!). I'm in western Massachusetts. Looking forward to this, what fun! And thanks to the organizers! Gay

This is so fun!!!!! I finished making my 700 HST yesterday. I can't believe how fast it went. Now today I am going to sign each one with my TQS name on the paper with a pencil. I have 25 sets consisting of 28 triangles. The fabrics range from batiks to civil war reproductions. I can't wait to see what comes back in exchange. The colors and all the different fabrics are going to make a beautiful quilt. The best part of all is it will have a little piece of each of you in it!!!!! I love quilts that have a special story or meaning to them. This quilt will have it all!!!! And of course the name will have to be "Brotherhood and Sisterhood - A Sharing of Friendship". Thank you Edyta for inspiring us. Debbie, Margo and all the others who are in volved in organizing this wonderful exchange. And thank you TQS members who are participating in the exchange. It is going to be a joy to have you all in my home!!!!!

The fun just keeps rolling on and on here at TQS!!!!!

You GO, Carol! My papers came yesterday, and I'm going to write my TQS name, State and Country on my triangles before I sew them! Hoping that will be easier!

Margo, I wish I had thought of doing this before stitching them. Great idea!!!!! I guess we all learn from each other and it is so wonderful we can share from our experiences with all the other TQS members. What an excellent tip!!! I am going to add my state and country too!!!!

thimblequilt OFFLINE Posts: 55	Hey Fern in South Korea. You are sooo lucky to be going to Tokyo! Now that you've introduced yourself you just have to get in on the fun. Think of all the new family you'll meet. Not to mention the fun of having a quilt made by so many different people around the world.

Hi, my name is Anke Magré and i live in Haarlem,the Netherlands. I would like to join the STT. I am not sure how I can put an american postage stamp on my return envelop. Please tell me. Kind regards, Anke

Anke, since we haven't done anything like this before, we don't know the post systems for other countries. We suggest you check your postmaster and he/she can tell you our options and what will work best for you. If any other members have suggestions, please don't hesitate to post them. Also, see what Mimuscraft wrote below. Most countries probably have similar postage options such as this:

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.

CowtownQuilts OFFLINE Posts: 21 Thank you received: 1	I thought I'd signed up, but I don't see my name/post anywhere. In that case, please put my name down (Ida) and count me in. I'm from Stilwell, KS in the USA. Also, I haven't had time to read all the posts (this is a hot-ticket item!), so I'm wondering if we need to cut all squares apart after sewing the triangles and press them. Or, are we sending them as sheets of 28 with the paper still on?

Good Morning Ladies and Gents. We are growing to 252!!!

We picked up a lot overnight (at least overnight for me) from Australia and a new country... the Netherlands. A possible from South Korea, hopefully she will decide to jump in. Remember we have until April 1st to get your HST in. This deadline was mainly for our international quilters. So here is the tally of countries.

USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Finland, Norway, the Netherlands, Australia and hopefully South Korea.

Have a great day.
Clara
