I am honored to be in this exchange with Edyta, Alex & Ricky and will be thrilled to have their signatures on the fabric.

Temps tonight & tomorrow night will be near zero here in Indianapolis. We had two ice storms this week so don't think there will be any melting soon. School cancelled again tomorrow for the third day. Thankful I don't have to go out.

I'm excited about Ricky and Alex joining us and signing their blocks. This will sure be a quilt to treasure from our TQS family.

I am thrilled Alex and Ricky have joined in - a signature block would be awesome, but just having their blocks in our quilt is very cool! Thanks Alex and Ricky.

I second that, Clara. The Tyveks can hold a lot and you can still put a return Tyvek envelope inside labeled & ready to send back to you. So far, most of the packages I've received have been Tyvek envelopes and those wonderful members have also enclosed their ready-to-go-back home envelopes! They are so much better than dealing with the bulky boxes!!!!

My electric stayed on (daughter has tv quite LOUD) and I have stitched for 6 hours today. Since I am making my HST's literally from scraps, the Thangles have worked quite well for me. I plan to keep going until I have used up the complete package so will have 250, which I will then figure how many to send. I know I will be tempted to keep the ones I think are neat and so it will be hard to let them all go!

Clara,
It sounds like a fun time is on the way to you and your mom! She'll love fabric shopping and sewing and you'll have a special bonding time to boot! My daughter and I have scheduled the following weekend for our HST adventure. She is a new quilter too! We took a beginning quilt class together this last August and she loved it! (It was my second beginner's class but you can never get enough pointers or practice in my book!)

Shipping Hint. For our from the USA. If you use the Tyvex envelopes to ship in, they work really great and are very lightweight. (That's how I'm going to ship mine) Please remember to bag your HST in an additional baggie. This is important for weather. Double check the guidelines in the front for markings and the extra envelopes and stuff.

My Mom is coming this weekend for a sewing frenzy and fabric shopping. It's her first quilt and I'm soooo excited. She has gone with me for years to the Houston quilt show and it would be great to making of quilts with her as well.

Happy quilting. Clara

My quilting buddies. When you are packing your triangles to ship to Texas for the sorting and want to include some for Australia. Please, please, pretty please pack them in an extra baggie marked Australia. The Australia HST are a choice and not a requirement. Thanks. Clara

294 Done and 323 more to go! or more. Once I get started I can't stop.
