I am sure it was a little crazy but fun too. I do wish that I had put my name on each one I sent - live and learn. Laura Laura, I will add your name to one of my unsigned ones. So happy to have another one identified. Great to have another friend.

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.

Our husbands are more interested than we realize.

Loved your story

LOVE that fabulous quilt of yours believe i will have to steal that heart idea and integrate it into my hst friendship quilt - so apt for a quilt made by so many soul-sisters from throughout the world
thank you for showing us

Hi Lotti,
I must give credit where it is due, the design was from the Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine, Bev Darby designer. I will download the page here for you.

This made me smile.. I was looking through my many magazines today for a quilt pattern for some hand applique.. going to be away from my sewing machine soon... and had just seen this very page in the magazine.. It is one of my favourites and absolutely love your purples!!

I am so excited!!! I have finally been able to sort through all my HSTs from the 2 exchanges, and guess what!!! Of the ones which were signed with a name and location, I have 329 different individuals, 45 states and 8 countries represented!!!! WOW!!! Now, here's a challenge....I'd like to get representation from those 5 'missing' states: Arkansas, Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Oklahoma. Were there any participants from those states? If so, may I send you a SASE and a HST so that I can receive a HST from you representing your state?
Thanks!

I haven't posted in a while but have (I think/hope) kept up with most of the posts. I've had out-of-town company and 25+ people over the course of the weekend, and I am full and tired. I really enjoy this exchange and the pictures and lessons from Margo. I have been known to stay up late to catch up on the news... Don't know what happened, but I had written one or two posts and they 'disappeared" One was almost epic in nature - oh well, it may have bored you . I hope this one shows up. I have been thinking about trying to post up a real picture of myself, instead of my beloved pin cushion. But I love yellow, and it was a dear gift from a fellow quilter. Still waiting from mine, but from the Batiks exchange, I imagine I will not get them too early. Canada customs seems to be s-l-o-w. Meanwhile, I have pressed open all my batiks, and thinking about whether I should wait for the next batch and join them, or do something with just the Batiks R Us lot. I have almost enough to make a tree of life quilt with the HSTs, or a mini medallion quilt, like the cover of Edyta's book. I am still thankful for this exchange, and the ladies who organized ans sorted --> SO much. The photos are so inspirational. I hope this post goes up. Just wanted to let the sisterhood know I haven't smothered in all those HSTs that I've received or made. I can't imagine the feeling of the sort day!

Hi all, Phew, it is now 11.30am and I have been reading all 39 pages of the forum since 8am when I came into the office and sat down with my breakfast in hand to catch up as I have been away for a week. When I left I hadn't opened up the Chapter 3 - what a mistake, so much to catch up on and what a blast reading it all, I have laughed out loud (DH came over to see what I was laughing at, shook his head and went away to do the breakfast dishes). I have had a few tears as well, said a few prayers and thank yous to other Aussie sisters for answering the OZ questions.
Anzac Day is a very special day for all Aussies and New Zealanders. November 11th is also called Remembrance Day here and everything stops at the 11th minute of the 11th hour - tellers stop, checkouts stop and people are reminded to stop doing whatever for a full minute of silence to remember the fallen in all wars.
I have finished the top of a hst quilt - first one made for the Bris flood/North Queensland cyclone victims, I started making this early in the year with all the offcuts from a purples quilt I did a few years ago. I will upload a photo later when I learn how to do it.
All my friends have nearly finished their hst's and I have sorted them into piles ready for our sewing days. Jenny has taken all the ones with red in them and has started working on one. I am waiting for the hst's from US to come before I book the hall for the sewing days.
I have already got the names of some of the recipients of the quilts but as I don't know how many we will be making I have not gone any further with that.
Thank you to all involved in the Sottt exhcnage, I am thoroughly enjoying the forum and look forward to reading it when I can, really looking forward to receiving my packages though no doubt will have to wait a bit yet.
I have a friend who is visiting the US at the moment to go to Paducah so I am looking forward to seeing all her photos and stuff she brings home.
Cheers to all,
Louise in sunny

Love it! Going to show my Mom! Clara
