JoJo, you might want to try to get your top done for the early edition! Here is a recent message from Carol:

I know a lot of people are working very hard to get their tops together by the 9/1 deadline. I have told a few people if they are a few days late that is okay. They went to all the work and I am not going to be a stickler if they are submitted a few days late for the prototype. I have already told a few people this that have sent me emails. They want to take advantage of the Labor Day weekend so I told them it was fine. If you want you can say something on the forum. I would really appreciate it if you would!!! I don't want any one to stress out on this. It is suppose to be fun.

Sweet! I'm doing the 'snoopy happy dance.' I'd love to have them as long as you are sure you won't need them. My pm must have taken the horse and buggy...

I can come pick them up tomorrow or mailing them is fine too. I will have the top done tonight with the exception of the last row so I don't think it's possible to have it done by August 31, but I will have it in time for the final book due in January.

One thing I realized is that I need another design wall. My current one has another project on it so I had to design on the floor and Dillan, my spoiled baby dog, sneaks in and rolls on the HSTs every time I turn my back to sew. Then I have to stare at the design for 10 minutes to figure out which way to turn the squares again to get my pattern back! Eeck. Good thing this momma really loves this boy a little bit.

I didn't get your pm yet but I found 23 different ones. If you want doubles I can send more. Shirley

Thanks Shirley. I will PM you now.

JoJo, I have some I made. I don't know if I have 36 different ones. I think I have at least 20. Do you want doubles? Are you wanting to use these in your top for September 1? I can't get them mailed until Monday noon. If interested pm me. Shirley35

Hey everyone. I'm sure everyone is crazy busy with using up the HSTs, but if you have extras or dups that you will not be using, I would love to hear from you. I need 32 more HSTs to be able to complete my project and I will make them up myself if everyone has already used theirs all up, but it makes the piece so much more special having all of you in my home with me.

I'm willing to trade. I don't have any HSTs to trade but am willing to offer one or two folks some of my homemade soap. I will have a new batch of tangerine bliss ready to ship next weekend. Any takers????

I'm starting to sew soon... Yay...

Hugs,

Hi,
I've been working on my HST project and have realized I'd like my quilt larger by a whole row, requiring more HSTs than what I have. I've been making pairs of which I only need one, and have accumulated the other matches which I'd like to exchange for unique HSTs which have NOT been in one of these exchanges. I do not mind if they are all from the same person....I just want them unique. If you would like to do some exchanging, please contact me.

Completed the center of my medallion quilt! I have about 120 HSTs from the exchange and another 40 red HSTs (three different pairings) I made to complete the red outer rows that I'd like to find a home for. The HSTs are pressed, paper removed, and dog ears trimmed - just begging to find a forever home. Send me your address and I'll happily ship them to you.

This is my last post/inquiry offering HST exchanges. I have an extra from Alex, and quite a few duplicates, including duplicates from several countries which I am offering for exchange. I'm nearing the completion of the blocks for my project and would like to do any exchange prior to that completion. Let me know if I can help you! - Thanks!

I still have extra triangles from Lotti in Switzerland if anyone wants them. Please send me your mail address and I will send it out.

Thanks!
Kari

PS - She sent about 50 so there are plenty to go around!

MAYBE in future exchanges there should be a pot of extra patches.... example: 6 extra triangles could be sent in by each contributor...just for a pot.... that would take care of shortages. at the very end of the exchange a RAFFLE could be held for the remainders...... or a charity quilt could be made by someone for QUILTS OF VALOR or any other valid charity.

Good things come to those who wait...
