Re: BATIKS-R-US fabric exchange 14 Apr 2011 06:20 #62298

I got my HST's a couple of weeks ago and yesterday got my Ricky one in the mail. Ricky's was my favorite colors bluish purple! Perfect pick! Thanks so much Ritzy for all your and your helpers hard work. I've looked at all of them and just amazed at all the places they came from. I have a quilt on the design wall so havn't started playing with these yet. hmmm....I could put that flanned back up in the hallway for a second wall though. :lol: I will probably wait and see what I get with the SOTT's before I decide for sure what I am going to make. Hope all are having a great day. Sandi in FL

Terry, You are allowed to open it, look through your hsts, admire and fondle them, and then put them back in the envelope and put to one side for a future date like I did. Or dont you have the willpower to put them to one side :?: :D :lol: :D :lol:

I'm chuckling djane, I'm chuckling! I actually went for a walk today and found some wild flowers in bloom. Possibly buttercups! It is drizzling right now, but well above freezing. We will see!

I have an unknown as well--maybe they came from the same person. I layed them out last night and was amazed at the variety and beauty of the fabrics. Now to decide on a project.

Dawn -- we are in for snow and they say it is coming north from Colorado and up through Montana. Please feel free to stop it if you want!!! :)

Nope! I have Alex's! This one is just blank, not even written in the seamline like one was. :?:

Well, now that some of the Canadians have received their HSTs, I can yell, I GOT MINE, TOO! I actually have had them for about a week, and have really been trying to ignore them for other things I should be working on, but today I succumbed! I layed them all out (unopened) and took pictures to document all of the names, and countries, etc. I cut two down that were 2 1/2" square rather than 2", but that works! And, I got one with two darks sewn to the light, so will unsew it and resew it, and add the extra dark to a light of my own and consider it a bonus HST! :D And, I may take a picture of the one with no name and say, "Is this yours?" I would hate to not have that person not listed in the documenting of the HSTs! :( Next , I will press them open, then cut them as previouslly noted earlier in the "What pattern are you planning for your HSTs" thread. I think it is on page two. Then PLAY with them! :D :D

Thank you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Ritzy! You did a superior job! And, I also want to thank your helpers and DH. What a great group!

Want something fun to do with TQS sisters & brothers while waiting for our treasured HST's & strips??!!
Anyone interested in a potholder swap? I participated in one last year & it was great fun.
The sky's the limit since you will decide all the issues...color/size/shape/theme/and so on with your swap partner.
I'll be the monitor...it's easy to join.
Just send me an e-mail at

mailto:tqs.potholderswap@gmail.com

before May 1, 2011.

After I receive all your e-mails, I will pair you up.
Once you have your swap partner's e-mail, you will communicate with each other to set up the
details of swapping with one another.

You will send the potholder directly to your swap partner...so no need for Guardian Goddess or Sorting Queen.
No one could fill their royal shoes (or Hats!) anyway, bless them!!! :D :D :D

***reminder...be sure to send an e-mail to the above address...

mailto:tqs.potholderswap@gmail.com

not my romira one***

And, of course, it's all on the Forum under the topic: Potholder Swap

Ladies (and Gents), start your engines!!
:) :) :)

Oh what joy to come home from school today and find an envelope on dining table. One of my daughters and I went throught them all and she already has a pile of favourites. As for me, I love them all!!! I especially like the odd polka dotted pieces.

Yippee I received my package of HSTs in the mail today! :) My husband tried to trick me and hide them but I could tell by the twinkle in his eye when I asked if they were in the mail that they had arrived. I haven't had time to look at them yet as I just got home from work but am excited to see everyone's name and fabrics. Thanks Ritzy for all your hard work to make this exchange happen.

My name is Elizabeth but I go by Betsy. My DH and I will be married 50 years in September. I have 3 children (2 girls, 1 boy) and 2 grandchildren, 1 of each. I worked in retail for many years then went to college and got a degree in computer science. I worked for 20 years in the IT section of a large insurance company. I retired in 2005 and immediately joined a quilt quild. Well, actually 2, and a group that makes quilts for the neo-natal units of two local hospitals. There are 11 in our group and we deliver about 30 quilts a month. I have been sewing since I was a teenager. I made clothes for myself and my kids. I like quilting so much better that making clothes.

I also couldn't find Ricky HST. I check on the soggy envelope in the trash and still couldn't find it. As I was reading the blogs I read Tbrown0307's about finding her name on the list of people who need to send a SASE to get her's so I checked and sure enought my name was there also so I'll be sending mine off tomorrow.

Sweetest Maree: When you put all the HSTs together you will not notice some of them are the same:)) I cant figure out how to upload pictures here on the Forum, but my latest blog has a picture of the HSTs up on my design wall. Thank you to all Friends who took the time to sew for me....now I am off playing on the designwall again:))

I can hardly wait to look at my HSTs from the exchange. I'm forcing myself to finish up a couple projects before I start a new project. . . I can only tell you that it is so hard not too look!!!!! I have petted a couple of them and have ooed and awed over the four that I can see. I'm going to be delighted with whatever fabrics I get and I thank Ritzy from the bottom of my heart for taking the lead on this exchange.
