Ritzy...
Sallie's question above put a thought in my head As you are doing this by yourself, would it be advantageous to you if
we all sent the number of HST's as there are people signed up : For example: If there are 100 signed up, we would
all send 100 HSTs or increments of that number (100, 200, 300, etc.). What do you think :

I have a question regarding numbers... can you join twice so that you get twice as many HSTs? I don't have a pattern in mind yet, but you need lots to do a quilt.

We are to 95 folks doing the HST batiks exchange. I am trying to stay really organized with this exchange so this snow has be good. I can keep updating my information. So, I have been through all the post under the title "specific fabric exchange" and I think I have everyone from there. I noticed that I have quite a few that I do not have email address for and so you won't know where to send your HSTs. So these are the ones I don't have:

Ladyz,

The rules state "light one one side and darker on the other." The focus is on contrast. Originally we were going to use only cream, but cream is not always available, and many come with other colors blended into them. You should be fine with what you have already made. (Also, check the post right above yours, that Ritzy has already addressed.)

I am in the batik exchange, but am reading this batik and cream for the first time. I am using light and dark batiks, but most are not cream. Do you not want these in the exchange? I won't send them if others don't want them. I'll try watching for an answer. ladyz

I have my hst made up, but in reading, I hope we were not to have a solid cream batik, mine has some shading of green in it. It was what I had. I put it with blues, greens, blacks, brown so there is good contrast between light and dark.

I would like to participate in the Batik triangle exchange.

Hi -

I would love to join the batik fabric exchange. I am new to the quilt show, and not sure
of all the rules. Please reply to mailto:barbtryon@lakefield.net. Thank you.

I have talked to the post office, here in Indiana, and they said "if you go online to USPS you will be able to calculate the amount of shipping cost from USA to your country". So, if you get your package ready to send to me (remember to put a self-addressed envelope with your HSTs inside your package for mailing), have your post office weigh it, go online and check the amount of postage required from USA to your country, and send a money order to me with your package. I will be able to get the postage for you. I really don't know how else to do this as I do not have PayPal and my understanding is it is a lot of juggling of money. I hope this works for you. If you have any other questions, please let me know. ritzy

The quilt program I use for my HST is Quilt Pro Print and Sew. I have found them very acurate and easy to use.
I have signed up for this swap, but a bit worried about paying for the return postage unless I can use paypal. I emailed this morning so will wait until I hear from you.
