I can very much appreciate that return label, but I'm going to ask you to go ahead and put it on an envelope with everything written so all we have to do is bag up your HST, put it in your envelope and get that back to you. It also helps reduce error like writing wrong addresses or wrong people with the wrong number of HST and so forth for us.

I wonder if we should start a bet in guessing the total HST in the end? It's going to be massive!

Absolutely. You can easily put the return postage on the return envelope, fold it and put it in with the triangles. In fact the PO makes a Priority mail stamp which makes it all the more convenient. Another way to do it is to put the initial mailing in the Tyvek Priority envelope that you can get at the PO. Then all is taken care of: The return envelope in tact will provide the stability in mailing and there is no worry about the folding of the return envelope.

Please sign me up. My name is Rochelle and I live on the beautiful Oregon coast in Coquille. I'm anxious to see where all the triangles come from. I plan to send 112.

Concerning Aurafil thread, I will use something else. I get way too much lint with it.

It'll be fun to see what all we get back - I'm in for 56 of 'em. I'll even send a return label so there's not cost to send back to me!

Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will they accept a folded envelope back? Another words if the quilter sent in their HST in a Priority Envelope, but also had one folded inside already paid for the return.

I am not sure if I am signed up or not. My name is Barbara Donaldson 3507 Umber Road Holiday Florida 34691 and I am a member of the Quilt Show Dotie is my name. My e-mail address is mailto:quilts10@tampabay.rr.com I am interester in batiks. Thanks Barbara

I'm in, I'm excited. Will order my papers today.

Hoorah for coming up with this super idea!! I live on Cape Cod and plan on sending in four (4) sets. I am also a retired Postmaster and suggest the use of a Priority mail flat rate envelope (like Ami Simms project). The delivery time on that is 2 -3 days and the cardboard will give it substance. I would love to help out...but Houston is quite the commute! if you need geographic help I can easily bop around the New England states. Noreen Couture

Reminder to everyone confused about any set of creating these HST or ideas about what to do with them. Please review the latest show on the Quilt Show with Edyta Sitar. She will walk you through step by step and show you lots of wonderful ideas. Her website for ordering the papers and/or her book is on the same page as the show and on our guidelines on page one of this forum. Get inspired and review it as many times as you want. Don't forget they have links on the right side of the video image that will allow you to jump to the section of the video that interests you the most.

Have fun with this. That's what it is all about.

Hold on to your sewing machines it is time to reveal some numbers.

Carol, It's wonderful that you are making so many triangles, however, I do want you to understand that there's a very good possibility that you'll be receiving some of your own triangles in the return since it doesn't sound like most participants will be making between 100-300 (estimate only). I don't want to discourage you from sending in that many, but I do want you to be aware.

I have to admit, it is addictive once you start sewing them and it's hard to stop till you run out of papers. If you decide you want to send in less, maybe you could get some of your local quilters together to start another exchange.

Regarding pressing, etc., please check out my post from yesterday on Page 14. It explains step-by-step what to do when sewing and pressing, not removing papers. More and similar information is also posted in the Guidelines in the very first SISTERHOOD forum post including mailing information. I'm attempting to use that 1st Forum post to include updates since that's the only one that isn't getting lost among the other 16 pages (so far)...so please refer back to that often.

Sounds like fun....i'm in, sign me up...Lynn
