deanna,

fabrics for your strips have been selected and your 200 strips cut and are ready to fold and package.
will send everything to barbara tomorrow - if possible with your return address (as per my private message to you earlier)
return postage to you is also taken care of

there is no way we can let old man cancer spoil this for one of our sister strippers

all you need to do is:
- send me your address
- look after yourself and get well quickly

Deanna,

It would make me so happy to send you some of my extra strips.
If you would want to send me an email with your address, I could help pass that on to others who feel the same way I do.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking positive thought for you,
Karen

Deanna,
You are in my thoughts & prayers.
sending you warm hugs,

Deanna,

Hope you are back up and sewing very soon - we are all thinking about you.

I will make sure you get some strips from me.

I'm in for extra strips for Deanna - and Deanna, on those nights when you can't sleep, sewing strips will work! I'll have my strips in the Priority mail on the 24th or 25th so they'll make it there by the 30th. Deanna, you can do this and we're all pulling for you. Love and prayers. Pat

Miss Deanna, you can count on my prayers. I was going to email you privately but I'll say it here because knowing the TQS members, others are going to have the same thought. But I would love to send you some strips so you don't miss out. I didn't have enough variety so I bought more fabric and can easily and happily cut more strips. If anyone else wants to do this, I could have you mail them to me to pass on to Deanna if that's alright with Barb and everyone.

Hugs to you Deanna. I got one of you HSTs in my returns and realized that we are nearly neighbors. Wishing you a successful fight with the big "C".

Barbara,

I am sorry, but I will not be able to send any strips. I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer on March 31st. I had exploratory surgery on April 2nd which will result in a 10.5 in. scar! They were able to remove most of the cancer and I will begin chemo next week. I am not bouncing back as quick as I had hoped. At 72 it takes a bit longer than I would like! I had just started cutting strips after sending in my HST when this all started. I have enjoyed reading all the posts and feel bad I have to drop out. We are hopeful for a great recovery. Please keep me in your prayers.

oooooo, over 489 yards! I wonder if we'll break 500!

Morning All.

Just finished opening and sorting...

I have 147 packages and 23,506 strips - still getting batiks I have not seen before - amazing

Today is April 17th - your envelopes are due to me by April 30th. I would like to sort soon after that date, so if you are participating, please get to the post office this week

Don't forget to send me an email so I know your strips are on the way.

I have a few packages to open and sort - I'll put out a new total tomorrow.

PLEASE GET YOUR STRIPS IN THE MAIL!!!

Do we have a new total of strips in the exchange thus far? I'm having a hard time imagining our wonderful sorters divvying out over 400 yards of fabric in 1 1/2 x 22 inch pieces! What a monumental task! Thanks to you ladies for your hard work!

Of course I picked April 15th to mail my strips at the Post Office. I had to laugh at myself. I just want to thank Barb for her time and effort putting this together. I hope her reward is just getting to see all of the beautiful fabrics. Thanks so very much! May I add, after I posted this I wanted to give a huge thank you to all that are involved working on this.

Want something fun to do with TQS sisters & brothers while waiting for our treasured HST's & strips??!!
Anyone interested in a potholder swap? I participated in one last year & it was great fun.
The sky's the limit since you will decide all the issues...color/size/shape/theme/and so on with your swap partner.
I'll be the monitor...it's easy to join.
Just send me an e-mail at

mailto:tqs.potholderswap@gmail.com

before May 1, 2011.

After I receive all your e-mails, I will pair you up.
Once you have your swap partner's e-mail, you will communicate with each other to set up the
details of swapping with one another.

You will send the potholder directly to your swap partner...so no need for Guardian Goddess or Sorting Queen.
No one could fill their royal shoes (or Hats!) anyway, bless them!!!

***reminder...be sure to send an e-mail to the above address...

mailto:tqs.potholderswap@gmail.com

not my romira one***

And, of course, it's all on the Forum under the topic: Potholder Swap

Ladies (and Gents), start your engines!!
