Just put our special Goundhog Day dinner in the oven (yes, we do up Groundhog Day in a big way in my house--including gifts!), and there is just enough time to grab some fabric from my stash to get started on my HSTs.

Ok, I'm almost there! I will be sending 10 sheets (280 HST) for the exchange and 3 sheets (84 HST) for the Australian flood victims.

In order to save time of writing name, town on EACH TRIANGLE, I printed off the info on some mini return address stickers using the Avery 5267 template. Thought that others might have something similar. Sure saved a ton of time for me!

Dawn--good reminder to everyone--if you can--plez send some extra HSTs to Debbie to go to the flood victims in Australia. I think we are
to package them separately--so Debbie can send them on to the women putting those quilts together.

Whew!!! 500 HST down, 116 to go! Plus some for Austrailia flood (and cyclone?) victims. Then it's on to the Batik exchange! Thank you again Debbie and Clara, for all of the attention you have given to all of us! We appreciate everything you are doing so that we can have fun!

Yes, Edyta has been on board since we started this. If she has time, she'll probably sign her HSTs, too.

WOW....this is great!!! Having Edyna, Alex and Ricky participating too...fantastic !!! and THANKS to all the gals down in Texas who have taken on the challenge of sorting all these HSTs.
BTW: it was minus 22 this morning here in southern Montana...so all of you south and east of here, hang on !!! the cold stuff is coming!

Received an email from Debbie stating she received my triangles, now I have 3 mo's to wait for a return package. Guess I'll have to find another project(s) to work on, maybe one of my many, many UFO's(?) This is my first time participating in an exchange and also of using the Forum. Never knew we had soooooooooooo many wonderful quilters out there. Many thanks to all the volunteers and the support groups. Looking forward to seeing what quilts and/or projects everyone comes up with. Might have to have a special Chapter for all of them.

Happy Quilting and many, many prayers to our Sisters and Brothers in Australia.

Is this quilt heaven??? Alex AND Ricky - whoa!

Wow, I was excited before, and now that we'll be getting signed triangles from our "stars," it's even more thrilling! So glad I joined this exchange! Now if I could just get to my studio...

Oh how exciting. I will get to see Ricky singing in Puyullup, WA this March 5th at the Sewing Expo there. I would love for them to sign the fabric, then there is more of a story to the quilt. Thank you Alex, Ricky, and Edyta.
