What a nice treat, and how special is that to remember in your quilt. We are blessed by generous souls.

Hi All,
For those of you that gave information on the paper triangle of the HSTs, Thanks! It is such fun to look you up and see your quilts. I take time with each HST as I journal it into the block layout. Looking up all these profiles takes time, but what a quilt show I am having each day. I have used about 43 HSTs so far and have noticed some duplication (in names not fabrics). So I started a Excell file to put the names (or TQS tag) and my personal comments about quilts. If some of you have not uploaded any quilt pictures into your profile yet... please do this! It is very easy and such a joy for others to view.
The first block is posted in my TQS blog in case you want to see the first of many. Time to sew, see ya.

Nancy, your block is great! Here's a link: [url]community/my-profile/FluffBallQuilts[/url]

Margo thanks for adding the link to Nancy's block. I loved looking at it and reading about what she was thinking and planning for the quilt. I love to look up SOTT's profiles and see their quilts. I am rather new to and am still struggling with the technology of getting things posted. I got a few things up but have more to share soon. Thanks to all of you who take the time to share. Lois

Dear SoTTT’s;

Thanks Margo for the BTW interpretation. Saw your videos, a star in the making! Ricky’s & Alex’s classes, seminar’s are wonderful!! I am pretty sure I will be going to the one in Asheville in the Fall. Hope to see some of you in Asheville in the Fall :lol: :lol:

BTW; Have you guys seen Ricky & Alex’s new show this week? She shows you how to do some more paper piecing in a stunning new quilt in pinks!! She also has a new paper piecing book out with some fantastic new quilt patterns! One with points I even think I can do after watching her demo! The Pineapple Quilt in blue is gorgeous!! I think I am going to move onto her patterns after finishing with the Beautiful HTS’s I got from all your SoTTT’s. I feel a little more confident & I think I like this paper piecing. Alex’s suggests you start with her sample quilt first, which is what I am going to do. If anyone else decides to do it, let me know & maybe we can talk each other thru it together. Love all your posts; it is great reading, love the pet stories too!! :lol: :lol:

P.S. Blessings to Debbie & Clare, Mucho Grande Thanks, & Back at ya for all you did for us !! Happy Jump, too tired to do the full dance!

And last but not least:

You have our eternal gratitude!
If there is ever anything that I could do for you, Debbie, & all the other wonderful helpers, you've got your
own personal Miracle right here.

WHOO HOO!!

Miracles happen when we believe and work for a common cause! Clara, Debbie and Margo and all those sorting angels started a wonderful common cause "Sharing our love of quilting and getting to know our quilting sisters around the world. Thank you all for every second you have spent on this huge project and a huge thank you to all your family members for sharing you with all of us. May what started as a small idea continue!
Peace and Love, Maryjo

with love from your sister,

Yes, I am feeling the love and appreciation! It makes me smile with all the warm wishes and thank yous. But what makes my heart sing is all the stories of excitement of receiving their packages, how they are sorting them and eventually the project they will create. Who would have dreamed this exchange would take off the way it had. A Big Texas Woo Hoo!!!!
Clara :D :D :D

I attended the Ricky Tim's Seminar This past fall on Cape Cod during a threat from a hurricane. The hurricane fizzled out but the Seminar was spectacular. Ricky has us say "Woo Hoo" during the seminar. Everyone should go if it comes to their area.

I have pressed all my lovely hst open. I wanted to see if I could discover a connection to fabrics and the region of the USA they came from. I laid hst out in a map. Top right Alex, Edyta, Margo, and Ricky - the rest of top row is Foreign hst. Next row are specials from Debbie and the 3rd row are mine. 4th row Alaska and Canada.

What are the "specials from Debbie"? Does anyone know?

I worked on pressing my HSTs yesterday and brought the pressed ones down to work on tearing the papers while I watched TV last night. Well my shoulders started to tense us so I was putting them aside when I noticed my husband looking over at them with an interested look on his face. I said I was tired and jokingly asked if he wanted to work on them. Guess what?! He said "yes, I was going to ask if you wanted help." Wow! He sat and removed the paper from the rest. He stopped a couple of times and remarked on ones that he really liked.
I would have loved to take a picture and post but he said NO. :D
Our husbands are more interested than we realize.


Love your story, my husband actually got into helping me sort and categorize mine and has watched my method of documenting them. I don't think the pressing is for him but maybe he will be a helper when I get ready to tear paper and begin the design wall process.

It is amazing to see he intrest of others in our fun!

Lottie, love that potholder! You are very lucky and to think I didn't sign up!

Whoo Hoo? Not in on this yet, but our guild is hosting a seminar in July. I can hardly wait!! So how many of us have been to a Tims seminar??


There is a partner just waiting for someone to swap with! If you are interested, the deadline to sign-up is not until May 1.
Just send me an e-mail at

mailto:tqs.potholderswap@gmail.com

A friend & I traveled from Georgia to Glens Falls, NY for The Seminar (Ricky, Justin, Alex, John & Libby Lehman!) a few years ago.
It was fantastic! And we've put our guild on the list for the lottery & hope to be chosen for one in Atlanta in 2013!
Try to go to one if you can, you'll love it!

Dear SoTTT’s;

You guys are amazing!! I can’t even watch TV anymore (which is fine with me) in order to try to keep up with you all!! The SoTTT’s did potholders & the Batik strippers in addition to the HST exchange?? How do you guys keep everything straight? I would have driven Debbie & Claire nuts! I probably would have sent the pot holders to the Stripper & the HST’s to the Pot Holders and the Strippers to Claire & Debbie!! As if they didn’t have enough to deal with!! I am dizzy thinking about it!!

Whooo Hoo! to all of you too!! The post holders (shows you how much I cook since the kids are gone!) pot holders are sew cute! Love the samples people are doing with the HST’s! I just wanna sit down & have a skinny girl margarita but I don’t really know what that is & I don’t really drink !!

Dear Katie & SoTTT’s

I was wondering if the fabrics would be different from different places in the USA & countries. Kinda like clothes too. In the South on the shore our clothes & interior design’s in our homes are so different that even the northern part of SC where it is more hilly (they call it more mountains, but if you have been to NC, Colorado, etc, that is kinda funny). And what you have shown with your quilt is very interesting! Thanks for sharing. Spoken & illustrated like a true artist!!
