Love your lyrics Rosemary. Someone should record it for us. Maybe if we had another Sisterhood of Traveling Triangles we could get everything correct, like how many, labels, postage, no smoking, numbers in the right place, sew on the lines, cut correctly, no open triangles, correct number of baggies to name a few. I'm sure we could do better the second time around if anyone is brave enough to try it. A million thanks to everyone helping especially our Queen of the Bags who is sliding on all the plastic in her house. All my love and appreciation is going your way. I'm so looking forward to my triangle returns. I have to finish two quilts for high school graduation first. Shirley Iowa Shirley...does this mean you're volunteering for our next exchange  ???Once all is said and done, Arlene (Ritzy), Barb, Clara and I will probably come up with some tips (for all those future sorting queens waiting in the wings  ) based on what we've learned and what we would have  , should have  , could have  done differently.I've done my share of griping, begging and pleading on The Forum, but I have to say in all honestly, that this is an experience I would not have passed up for anything. Who could say they have had the opportunity to do anything like this before and who among us have ever participated in anything like this before? I am grateful that TQS has provided the platform and support for something of this magnitude. And I am grateful for all of our wonderful TQS members who joined the exchange and to all who have volunteered (especially Clara, our Sorting Queen and PayPal Saviour) to help throughout the process...and most of all for offering help for our upcoming sorting day! I wish all 615 of you could be there that day. And, Margo, there are not enough words in the world that can describe how precious you have become to me! I would be climbing  the walls by now if you had not always been there to talk me down  !I have made numerous friends, both in the U.S. and across many International boards, that I hope will flourish beyond the SoTTTs. We're getting very close to finalizing the exchange, but let's not let this be the end of them. OK...enough! It's starting to sound like an Oscar Acceptance Speech  . |

Margo, I am the Sorting Queen and Debbie is our Guardian Goddess. A million thanks to everyone helping especially our Queen of the Bags who is sliding on all the plastic in her house. I think the title of Sorting Queen is ever so much better for Debbie than Queen of the Bags, or....heaven forbid....Bag Lady!! |

Rosemary...you talent is endless! How in the world do you come up with all these ideas? I think we all need to chip in and pay for Rosemary to come to Houston on sorting day and entertain us. Or if you can't do that, Rosemay, go ahead and record it so we can play it on over & over on sort day! I like that idea. Sounds like lots of fun! Clara Again...you are priceless . Thank you for keeping the fun alive! |

MUSIC TO SORT TO... My vote would be for Abba, Sorting Queen (sorry Dancing Queen) especially for Clara. We could always try rewriting the lyrics while we wait. With a grand prize of......  Getting to host the next Hst exchange Rosemary Ok here goes first entry for the lyrics challange. Sorting Queen.....(apologies to ABBA) You can count, you can sort , having the time of your life. Ooo...see that girl, watch that seam, stitchin', the Sorting Queen Friday night and the quilts are low Looking for some half squares to sew, Where the colours are clashing, triangles are my thing You can sew up a king. Feathered star or shoo-fly, Stitches small and the wadding's high, With a bit of charm fabric, a layer cake or 2 You want some squares to patch, Seam line's are up to scratch. You are the Sorting Queen counting thousands, past seventeen, Sorting Queen, feel the thrum from the sewing machine oh yeah You can sew, you can sort , having the time of you life Ooo.. see that girl,watch that seam, stitchin' the Sorting Queen. You're the Counter, you sort them out Twenty-eights in piles, that's the count, Packing up the baggies, odd ones every where, Boxes are ready to pack, Throw Postie another sack. You are the Sorting Queen, counting thousands, past seventeen, Sorting Queen, feel the thrum from the sewing machine oh yeah You can sew, you can sort , having the time of you life Ooo.. see that girl,watch that seam, stitchin' the Sorting Queen. Sew with the Sorting Queen So - any other budding lyricist's who can improve on that? (pleeeeease! :shock: ) Rosemary Why thanks for that! What a nice surprise!!! Now I've got the song stuck in my head. Clara |
