Oh Teresa, I know your pain! I fell just as this was starting and broke a bone in my right foot! I am at the 5 week mark now and a bit fed up, although I have been able to catch up on some hand sewing. I have also found out I can sew left-footed!
Thinking of you - hope it gets better quickly!

i am sorry to say but i am not going to be able to finish my HST and mail them in. i took a fall yesterday while doing yard work and managed to break both bones in my left wrist. 6 weeks in a cast means no sewing. however i am still looking forward to seeing the gorgeous quilts you all make.

Ladies in the USA: if you send an envelope with metered postage on it--I will not be able to use it to send your HSTs to you. The envelope needs to have stamps. Thank you.

Ladies, just a reminder for those of you that are out of the states: Let me know when your package has been email so I will know to wait for it. I understand some may have changed their mind about the exchange and I don't want to have everyone else wait if your package is not going to arrive.

Dear Ladies,
I went snooping at my LQS yesterday and found a very light beige/peach batik on sale at 50% off. I bought the rest of the bolt!! I now have about 7 meters soI will have extra for the quilt I plan to make with the exchange. I am also thinking of making a double set of what I send to Ritzy to give me the flexibility to make a bigger quilt.
Now I am off to finish the HSTs to mail later this week.
cheers
Jeanine

Just a quick note to let you know my batik HST's (137, plus a few extra for Australia & Hanne-Grette) are packaged, and will be mailed on Tuesday the 22nd.
Thanks again for doing this exchange for us!!
