ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Ladies, I would still like us to be leaning toward cream/white/ beige for our lights. I know there are problems for some but if at all possible--this is what I would like to see happen. Our count right now is 116. Some have asked if they can send more than one per person and I am not sure how that would work. Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks ladies (we don't have any men, yet).

I'm sure the number will be higher, seems like the number of participants is starting to grow faster now that the deadline for signing in is getting close. Looking forward for the final number. Thanks Ritzy and Margo for keeping up with the posts. Thank you Ritzy for hosting the exchange, you're in charge, you set the rules!

ritzy OFFLINE Posts: 2963 Thank you received: 82	Margo has been such a tremendous help to me and I noticed that some of the other members are answering questions for me and that helps a lot also. TQS member Michelle has said she will drive an hour to help so, so far all is good.

sdobilia OFFLINE Posts: 14	I would like to sign up for this exchange, too. If my understanding is correct, we send one hst for every participant, and as long as there is good contrast between the fabrics - the light does not have to be cream or white. Sheila Oops - sorry - I did not include my email address: mailto:sdobilia@verizon.net Thanks, Ritzy

I just want to share this. I found some wonderful "Tonga Treats". They are 2 1/2" strips made by Timeless Treasures. They have some really nice cream batiks in the collection call "Meringue". I bought a package and am using Thangles to make a 2" Finished HST. This way I can have a nice selection of cream batiks and not go to a lot of expense buying a lot of cream color batik yardage. I hope this helps those that are having problems with finding cream colored batiks.

They are beautiful. Did you purchase them online or at your local quilt shop?

Teresa

I just found them here: http://www.fatquartershop.com/Tonga-Treats-Timeless-Treasures-Fabrics.asp

They have them in strips or 10" squares. Both could be used with Edyta's papers as long as you cut them down first...

I picked up the Tonga Treats at my local quilt store. Sorry It took me a little while to get back to you on a relpy

Thanks for helping Teresa find them online!!!!!

I think I'm finally ready to start doing my hsts. Got the papers, got the batiks, got the books and yesterday I found a few more neutral/beige batiks at my LQS. My daughter has planned a trip or two home from college to do hers with me too! I'm jazzed!

Ritzy-thanks again for organizing this! Hope you have power and aren't freezing! The news reported that Northern Indiana is having both! Take care!

I have some colorful print batiks and I would like to use them and a pale color with it. Is that OK? Booklady112
