For the aussie Sue, I was thinking the same kind of thoughts, although the corks on the hat hadn't made it into my thoughts at that time. Beach.. possibly cricket on the beach is some of our favourite times... I think the green and gold, sports and the great outdoors is all about us... What about the BBQ- the time honoured Aussie tradition!!  Okay, I'll take the bait  ...what do you Aussies eat at "your" BBQ's? And please forgive my American ignorance, but what is your cricket game like? We play badminton and volleyball on the beach here in the States. Is it like either of those games?   |

Robyn when I think of Australia I see Crocodile Dundee and beige cargo pants, am I mistaken? Richard Chamberlan in which movie, brown twill pants holding a koala. Wish I could visit I am sure Shirley will find something great. Joan Oh, Joan, the Koala is a fantastic idea!  A boomerang would also be appropriate, and I, too, was thinking along the lines of Crocodile Dundee...maybe drawing a cute croc head on the front of a small boat and giving him a big toothy smile with HST TEETH! |

Margo,Hi, Is there someone out there by the name Annedore Neumann from MG-Wickrath? If so is your city Wickrath? What country? Thanks for your reply, Nancy in SC (aka FluffBallQuilts) The master spreadsheet says that Annedore Neumann is from Germany! You are an amazing wealth of information!  I love the video on TQS!

Omgosh, I am soo excited. They're here, they're here. My triangles came today. What fun. I'd just gotten home from work when I found them, and I didn't have much time until we had to leave, so I've only played with them a little. I did see several countries- yah!- and I had a clara and a nancy. I'm so excited. :shock:Thank you all for the gorgeous hst's and thank you to the organizers. I cannot imagine the daunting task you handled so well. I really appreciate it. AND, thanks to Edyta for the inspiration and hst, and Ricky, Alex, and Margo too!!! You all rock. More later, Jean from NW Ohio Jean - there are several Nancy's in this group, I do hope you got one of mine. I'm still waiting to be able to rush to post that mine have arrived! You lucky ladies - enjoy your new treasures!! We're all still smiling at your excitement!! |

But it's been lovely reading everyone's news....and I guess I can work on one of my many UFO's while I'm waiting Robyn, Cheltenham, South Australia How nice to hear from one of our Aussie Sisters...it's been a while! Robyn, I haven't received my HST's yet either, but I'm willing to play with you in the world wide web sandbox of International Sunbonnet Sue's and Overall Ricky's until we do! What would you wear to show me you're from Australia, and what toys would you bring? I should explain that one of my HST projects has Sue's and Ricky's in it and I want to represent our international sisters as best I can. Margo kindly set up a separate thread called Shirley's Sunbonnet Sue's so you could comment there, if not here. Thanx for any help you give. This is very tricky - I was thinking about it all last night :shock: . I suppose it depends how "ocker" you want them to be. My daughter suggested hats with corks dangling off them - I have never seen anyone wear one in real life but apparently you wear them in the outback to keep the flies off your face. Or you could dress little Ricky all in white , put a baggy green cap on him and give him a cricket bat... I guess Sue could be a cricket player too. The beach is a big part of our lives, maybe you could dress them in bathing suits and have them at the beach playing with buckets and spades....I'm still thinking - help me out here, other Aussies!Happy Easter Robyn |
