Count me in for Hanne-Grete, too. I had the honor of meeting her in Houston. She's a kick!! I was just doing the math, and if each one of us only gave two HSTs to her, she'd get over 1200! I will be sending her one of every combination I made, so that will be 8, which includes 3 from the batik exchange. I will also be sending a couple dozen for Queensland. I think I am finally done making HSTs!!!!! Now I can tackel some of Margo's challenges, and get back to my TQS BOM, month one. And, here it is month two! But, I had a great time making HSTs! Thank you for all of your hard word, Debbie and Clara! I may become a "stripper" too, just haven't made up my mind yet, on that one. Decisions, decisions!!

Can you post a reminder on the first page of the forum (if you haven't already)? I'm sure that my 50 something year old memory won't remember when it's time to send my HTS's and that's something I would like to do. I plan on running through the "rules" page right before I send mine off.

Thanks!

I have finished 616 triangles with screen name on label, packaged small sandwich bags then in large ziplock bag. Included extras for Queensland, and Finland and any that you are short. Sent money for return postage, labelled large bag for return triangles paid and printed shipping label to send to Texas all ready to go to the post office, what have I forgotten? Debbie I will let you know when they are off. Joan

I will be sending some for Hanne-Grete also.

That will be quite a pleasant surprise for her! Thanks to all of you who are sending extras for both Queensland and Hanne.

I will happily send some extra HST's for dear Hanne. I feel so bad that this happened to her. I would never be as calm as she seems to be. I'll put Norway on the bag for her. She may actually end up getting more HST's than she planned!

Lorra, you are right, dark, then light, then paper. Pin on solid lines, sew on dotted. Have fun. Count me in for a set of HST for Hanne. Hope to ship mine Tuesday or Wednesday. Angie

Thanks Clara. I sure did not want to start ripping!! I am limited on the amount of download time on my computer, but I do have unlimited time between 12 midnight and 6:00am. I guess I will be up late tonight watching the show!!

Review the video with Edyta. That always helps me and you can use the link to the side of the video to skip straight to the construction part.
Hope that helps. Clara

Sisters, help! Am I doing this wrong? I placed the darker fabric down first, then the light fabric, then the paper on top. One of the posts gave me the idea I might be doing this wrong. I reread the instructions and am still not sure. Please help???

Just saw the post about Hanne in Norway...I will be sending some triangles to her as well. Thanks for suggesting this.
Quilters are a special group of women (and men)!!!!!!!!!!!

What great news, Alex and Ricky joining the FTE and Edyta as well. Hope I am lucky enough to get their squares. have completed 420 squares and will be mailing them out this week. Not a great week with over 19 inches of snow here in Homewood, IL....had two snow days from work...so this gave me sewing time. This is all very exciting and I am glad that I joined up. Thank you to those fine ladies that have organized this swap and will be mailing out the treasured triangles. I bought Edytas book and cannot wait to start sewing up the triangles

I have already mailed my triangles but I will send another package to Debbie for Hanne and will mark that on my package. I read in a blog that she had quite the mess with flooding in her apartment. Water can make such a mess.
