It is getting close to that time and I am going to put out my call to quilters. "Team HSTs" needs to be put into action! Anyone in the Houston or surrounding areas that would be interested in helping on sorting day. Please step up and say if you are out there. I will post more info as it gets closer. This is going to be a big event and we can use all the hands we can get. Clara

Hello quilters. I didn't drop off the face of the earth. All of a sudden I stopped getting email updates on all the forums. Well, it was good timing anyway, because my Mom and I got together this weekend. We've been really busy making tons of HSTs. Actually a total of 1049. We finished hers and the ones for Batiks-R-Us and partial on my HSTs. Busy busy busy. It was Mom's first time doing anything quilting and I think she had a really good time. She is talking of fabric shopping. I think she is hooked. Clara

Hey Crocus999
NEW AND VERY, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ONLY THE USE OF PAYPAL FOR INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES For our INTERNATIONAL QUILTERS ONLY, we will now ONLY accept PayPal to pay for your return postage...no International Reply Coupons, no International Money Orders...ONLY PayPal. Clara has graciously offered the use of her PayPal account to simplify the process for both the sender and the receiver. For PayPal details, please send ClaraLawrence (screen name) an email and make arrangements for sending monies through PayPal. This service accepts credit cards and you do not have to set up an account to send money. The cost to mail the Small International Flat Rate box or envelope is $13.95 US (each will hold approx. 300 neatly packaged HSTs). There will also be a minimal extra charge from PayPal, that will vary by amount paid. Once you've completed your payment thru the PayPal account, you will need to make a copy of the PayPal receipt and include it in your shipment.. You will also need to carefully determine what size flat rate box will need to be used to return your package. If you underestimate, we'll have to contact you to make another payment to cover the excess cost. I am so grateful that this method of payment is now available. It will be much less complicated for everyone involved with shipping Internationally. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ HOW MANY HST'S FIT INTO A FLAT RATE BOX/ENVELOPE???? A flat rate cardboard envelope (12-1/2" x 9-1/2") can hold approximately 308 HSTs. The Small Flat Rate Box (1-1/2" high x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2') will also hold about 308 HSTs. I kept the HST's in the eleven baggies they were already in and that filled up the box pretty well. If they weren't in individual baggies, but maybe only one or two, there should be enough room for 308 (eleven increments of 28 HSTs). Remember to pack them carefully so they don't get scrunched and wrinkled! The above International smaller envelope and box to and to all other countries, it is $13.95 US. Canada/Mexico is $11.95 US _______________________________________________________________________________- The Medium Flat Rate Box (5-1/2" high x 11" x 8-1/2") should hold 700-1092 comfortably (remember increments of 28), but that size does cost significantly more Internationally. The cost to Canada/Mexico is $27.95 US and to all other countries, it is $45.50. Otherwise you are completely correct in what you say for doing your packing. As Margo keeps reiterating, if in doubt go and check the first page of this thread!  Rosemary |

This is an updated repeat of shipping info in case you are ready to get yours off to Debbie this week:
If it helps you to have a visual of what you need to send Debbie, this post's for you! Depending on how many HSTs you send, your package may be smaller and postage may be less. (This bubble wrap mailer, purchased at my local PO, is holding 616 HSTs.) Inside the mailer of your choice you need to send to Debbie: **A self addressed, STAMPED return mailer, at least as large and the one you ship to Deb in. Put your name and address as the return address so that if there is insufficient postage, it will come back to you. The PO box that Debbie is using will be closed so you don't want it going back there! I'd like to suggest that rather than dropping your package into a mailbox, you take it to your local post office to post & mail. At that time you can talk with the postal clerk about what postage is needed for your return envelope. PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR POST OFFICE FOR SUFFICIENT POSTAGE! (International participants just need to include a mailing label and a copy of their PayPal receipt for postage) You will need to use stamps on this mailer. The metered postage is dated, so it can't be used for return mailing. Include your TQS screen name and the total number of HSTs you are exchanging on the OUTSIDE of the return mailer. **A plastic bag containing all your HSTs, clearly labeled with your TQS screen name and the total number of HSTs you are exchanging. Please keep your total an increment of 28, but they do not have to be in individual bags. Debbie really liked the way these arrived! There are 504 HSTs neatly packaged in a one gallon size zip-lock bag. Attachment {!-- ia2 -->Package Photo.JPG{!-- ia2 --> not found**optional - HSTs for Australia, clearly labeled in a separate baggie. (DO NOT COUNT THESE HSTs IN YOUR TOTAL!) **optional - HSTs for Hanne-Grete, clearly labeled in a separate baggie. (DO NOT COUNT THESE HSTs IN YOUR TOTAL!) Attachment {!-- ia1 -->SoTTT inside.jpg{!-- ia1 --> not foundOn the outside of your mailer to Debbie be sure to put your TQS Screen Name and total number of HSTs you are exchanging. {!-- ia0 -->SoTTT outside.jpg{!-- ia0 --> For more details, please check page 1 of this forum topic: [url]forum/friendship-triangle-exchange/4308-chapter-2-sisterhood-of-the-traveling-triangles-contd[/url] Following these guidelines will make things much easier for the sorting team to get the correct total back to you! THANK YOU! |
