Hi, Everyone

I've done something really stupid. :oops: This weekend I pressed my lovely hsts open and sorted by colors. Near the end I realized I did not see the ones I got from Australia, UK, and Canada. I did have yours, Lotti (Switzerland) mostly because I found it much later, but the others are nowhere to be found. I suspect they were put in the recycle bin along with the mailing envelope. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I had made extra and still have papers to do more if needed. Would anyone be willing to trade directly one on one so that I can have a few internationals? I will glady pay the postage. Email me directly with info, please.

I checked the Wayward forums and they don't seem to fulfill my need. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Might be able to help with UK and Canada - private message sent

Hi, I can appreciate to "huge" job that you took on, but... I just received my HST's last Friday. Finally had a moment to look at what had been sent back to me. I am sorry, but I'm disappointed. I sent 504 HST's and only received 232 HST's back. When I opened the package it just didn't look even close to the amount that I sent, so I sat down and counted them. This isn't even half of what I sent out. Sorry, I am very disappointed. A difference of 10 or so, okay, but over half???? I am very sad. :cry:

Anyone else have this happen to them or am I the only one?

Just found out that there may be two boxes of HST's, so I'll be watching the post for the next package..Naspen

Your second box should arrive soon. But...if it doesn't, I'll send you my duplicates and I know there are several others who will as well. Let us know......Doreen
Thank you Doreen! I had to go check the post today, but no small parcel. :( Now I know I'll be checking the post every day until another box arrives. :wink: I will definitely let everyone know what happens.. Thanks everyone, Sandra

Another late night last night and guess what I was doing? Nope....., I was taking papers off hst's and I am sure I have rsi this morning, very painful.
Off to Bernina this morning and I am taking my little iron and ironing board and I am going to sit and chat and press open all my little gems - probably take all day but that's OK.
Cheers,

They're here!!!!!!!! - YAY !!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Even my husband and kids are excited - I think they got sick of me asking "did my triangles come today?" I have one from Canada and the rest are from the USA. It's so exciting - I am going to look at a map today to see where all these places are. One of my friends suggested I quilt all the names and places on my quilt as part of the quilting design - definitely worth thinking about. Thanks so much to everyone who organised this :D :D

My HST's are here! Thank you all organizers! I just opened my package and wanted to let you know that those little gems are safely arrived. Now I will go and do some sorting... :lol: By the way, how did Clara guess I have started stamp collection with my kids and put some real post stamps on to my package? :wink: Thank you so much!

Hi all,
I got a box of HST last week, and was getting a bit worried as I handed in 700 and only got about 300 in return. :? Finally today the other box arrived with Golden Triangles today.. How lucky am I :D ... but I must have about 80 with no information on them at all..completely blank.
I love, love, love, the triangles, and I will have help with all the pressing. Let the fun Begin :lol: :lol: :lol:
thanks go to Debbie and Clara for their patience and all their hard work, and also to Ritzy for the Batic exchange. Also to everyone who participated. If anyone out there wants some from Australia to add to their collection, please send me an email and I will send you some of the extras I have made.
Thanks Clara, they finally arrived today! :D :D
Thanks again to everyone
Elizabeth (Liesje)


I'm glad both boxes arrived safe & sound, Elizabeth. There were a very large number of members who did not put anything on their HSTs at all, so everyone would have received quite a few of the blank ones, too. And we also found that sometimes the labels didn't stick well and fell off and there was no way to match those up with the right HSTs once the sorting began.


A brief reminder to International members who sent in more than 300 HSTs
Remember that, depending on how many you sent, you will be receiving at least two small Flat Rate box since the small box could only hold around 300 or so. The likelyhood of them both arriving the same day or even the next day is probably pretty slim.

I couldn't help myself, just had to open and look. Sorted and would you believe not one from another Aussie or New Zealander, I have Switzerland, Germany, Scotland and Canada and of course the rest of from US. Thank you all to those who sent extras as donations, I am going to book the hall to start making the quilts with lots of helpers.
Now I am going to sit in front of the tellie and take papers off while DH makes dinner, at least I hope he will if he is hungry enough.....
Cheers,
