I think we are going to start a new Forum after the sorting is over & HSTs are returned. It may be called Chapter 3 - SoTTT's To Infinity and Beyond! Or maybe we could just leave the 'Chapter 3' off?? We'll have the SoTTT's Show & Tell in the Quilt Gallery, but the new 'chapter' can be used for posting pictures, asking questions, offering suggestions and whatever else suits your fancy !!

I look forward to reading all the posts too. Some pictures of quilts or finished tops, would be great. Hope there is still some "talk" to follow afterwards.

To be honest, I really hate to see the deadlines come and the exchanges end. It was just an amazing rush to log on every afternoon to read the "count me in" emails just explode in numbers. Then the wonderful posts all through the process. I look forward to reading these posts every day. Now it will be fun to see what everyone does with their strips/triangles..... and hear their online friends compliments to boot. The Quilt Show has given me many treasures through my years of membership. Beverly

Wouldn't that be super cool :shock: if Ricky could do that for us!!! Then it could be used as the background music when they post a slide show on the Daily Blog.

The Guinness Book of World Records didn't pan out for us, but maybe Ricky will come through. Nothing fancy, just a lot of fun!

Talking of fun, if there is anyone who knows how to record and up load songs you have my permission to do so with my little doggerel of Sorting Queen - cos I haven't the foggiest of how to do it, that's why I suggested Ricky, as the recognised forum expert on things musical.

This winter has gone by so fast I do believe it is because of the Sisters, who had time to look outside, it was more fun checking the computer, I will be watching for the postman (sorry letter carrier) I have two customer orders to finish then when the triangles arrive I will be able to play. Will be sending good thoughts your way when the sorting starts. Joan

Shirley - there will always be someone who gets something wrong,
doesn't quite read the instructions the same way as everyone else/miss-reads the instructions,
forgets to put something in the envelope,
it shows we are human.

We just need to try and do our best, and if in doubt go back and re-read the directions. As I recall Debbie saying in the first page somewhere 'Don't sweat the small stuff', we are supposed to be having fun!

Rosemary

Oh, Shirley! I certainly didn't mean my comments to be criticism of any kind either! This is a fun place to play!

No insult taken here--we dealt with all of those things. But it was a wild trip.

I don't know what you're talking about, Shirley...you certainly didn't insult me at all and I can't see where you insulted anyone else. Your points were very well made & well taken and I concur completely with all that you said. That's why I took the opportunity to mention that we should create a 'tip' sheet. But in all honesty I'm probably more like the Queen of the Buldge :shock: than Queen of the Bags! Funny that this exchange hasn't helped me lose any weight...hmmmm, must be all the chocolate people are sending!

Soooo...does this still mean you'll host the next exchange !

So sorry I did not mean to insult anyone, especially Debbie. So much for my two cents worth. I apologize all over the place and more. Forgive me. I meant no harm. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. Shirley the terrible from Iowa

amen, Sista!

Trust me!! I've had the easy job!! All four of our queens ROCK!!
