SAVE THOSE THREADS YOU ARE CUTTING OFF OF THE HST EDGES!

I spent a lot of time yesterday and today ironing and trimming threads from all of my HSTs, and still have not gotten to the bottom of my enevlope! (Who said I was fast? :shock: ) But, today as I went to throw the current pile of cut theads into my watse can, I had a light bulb moment! Some of us make ATCs or post cards. Just imagine artistically using these thread cuttings from all over the world! Kind of like blood sisters, only we've become thread sisters, as I knead these bonus treasures together! Quick, go rescue them from the trash! I'm glad I did!

Way to go, Debbie. How exciting that you got more goodies in the mail

Donna, love both your ideas. How many triangles will you be using :

Great eye candy...I love your layouts. And I think I like the striped border the best. I assume that these were done in EQ?? I bought EQ 7 just before this exchange started and I haven't been in the right mind set to sit down and try to learn it. I've never had EQ before and I'm so anxious to learn it. Maybe next week .

I think that striped border is very clever.

Oh, these are gorgeous examples! Love 'em both but am leaning towards the one with a striped border. Thanx for sharing!

Donna - your quilt renditions are really nice. I like the one with the striped border, too, but both are lovely. You're way ahead of some of us and good for you! I'm in the waiting bunch, but living vicariously through our SOTT friends as they receive theirs and share their joy and stories.

Donna. I think your layout for your triangles is wonderful. Both look great.

These are two of the possibilities for the HSTs. Haven't decided which one, but inclined to the one with the "striped" border.

It is so much fun to read all the comments from people who have received their HSTs. What fun we are having. I have not received mine yet but am not expecting them anytime soon as it seems to take so long for parcels to arrive from the US to me here in Canada--don't know why that is but I think maybe packages sit in customs sometimes depending on mail volume.

'In the Mail' update!!! I'm almost there in mailing all the U.S. packages to their new homes. I took another large load to the P.O. today and I was only waiting on Edyta's extra HSTs to get the rest of the packages in the mail. Her HSTs did come in today's mail, so all those packages have now been sealed and will go to the P.O. tomorrow. All I will have left are two packages awaiting additional postage.

Hang in there! We're all clinging to the molding! Given all the wonderful previous comments by everyone who has received their precious HST's, "THEY WILL BE WORTH THEIR WEIGHT IN GOLD!"

Drat!!! No package today. The suspense is killing me, but there's always tomorrow!

Oh, Margo! You are having w-a-y too much fun! What an inspiration! I'm also loving reading everyone's happy, enthusiastic, creative, thankful, loving comments too! Love all the sharing this SoTTT is bringing out in all of us sisters and brothers! This is absolute joy and happiness for me! Am waiting patiently for my HST's and also enjoying reading all of your Profiles! What a fantastic, talented mixture of people from all over the world! Big bear hugs to Edyta for planting the seed of her friendship triangle exchange, and to Debbie and Clara for pulling this one off so well!

...and to Alex and Ricky for bringing us all together on their fabulous TQS online show! LIFE IS GOOD!

FALSE ALARM!! Hubby met the mailman at the door and announced, "Oh, you've got lots of goodies." I could hear the crinkle of the Tyvek! Did some broken field running to the sort center in the kitchen, alas, not the 'treasures to be' HST's. More practice coming in patience and gratitude. This has been such an unbelievable challenge for Debbie and Clara that I feared the project would implode along the way. As I'm among the most enthusiastic (sent 720!) I'm also prepared to wait the longest. I promise.
