I don't mind waiting--anything is betterthan all the duplicates that I ended up with. Mona80

Thanks everyone. It sounds like there many not be as many participants as I was originally anticipating. Would everyone rather just wait until the end of June - 6 or 7 weeks from now - and only do 1 swap (instead of 4)? Will that give our international sisters enough time?

Thanks!
Kari

Kari,

I have a few duplicates I will send to you to be traded for something different. This way the others that have contacted you will have some to trade for. I will not be doing anything with my HST for a while, so this will work for me and help others. Everyone should be happy, as this was an increadible experience! I'll mail them in a couple of days. Thanks!

Dawn,
In beautiful Northwest Montana

Kari,
I am only just over half way through listing my hsts, but have found a number of duplicate names that I would be happy to throw back in the mix for another 'shuggle' (Scots for mixing up), but I have a number of other things with close deadlines that also need doing. I will get back to you when I finally finish my spreadsheet of who I have and want to swap.

Thanks all the same.

Hi! Kari....am sending 16 packets prepared as you requested out in the mail tommarow. Any
reshuffleing you can do will improve my mixture. This is only a portion of my duplicate fabrics
and duplicate labels... there were many ! I hope that others will want to swap a few this way!
Thanks for your time ! Marilyn

I have only received 3 emails letting me know who came up short or who has too many. Please keep me in mind, this is what I volunteered for. I will match you up with someone who has extra or send out SOS's for you.

I have only received 2 people who would like to participate in my suggested duplicate packet swap but are concerned about the lack of interest. If you are specifically looking for more international or a particular state then this exchange is not for you - a forum request with what you are looking for would better suit your needs. If you are like me, and received many, many duplicates my swap might help reduce those duplicates (we couldn't have all gotten the same duplicates!). The more people who participate the less chances for more duplicates.

If no one is interested that's ok too - less work for me, more time to sew.

Just trying to help,
Kari

Thanks to everyone who is helping me out!!! I know that 490 hst sounds like a lot to be short but my sister, happythreads, and I went in together and each did 490hst. I know that the job of sorting through all of the hst was one I sure would not have wanted to do and our other half was thought to have been placed in the envelope and then in the hustle and bustle of counting and mailing it was just overlooked. You are all so kind to come to my rescue. If I can ever be of help don't hesitate to call on me.

Thanks Posy---I can see that I've missed a lot of messages. Have to start cAtching up. Mona80

Mona - if you go to page 8, third from the bottom of Wayward and Adoptable hsts the explaination is there, (but I haven't worked out how to put in the link)
Cheers

How did this happen??? How could someone be short sooo many HSTs??? Does not make any sense to me. Mona80

We did it! There are 492 hst on their way to Susan (or about to be). Thanks Everyone!

I have been lovingly going through my HST’s; they are all beautiful, beautiful and beautiful. Thank you one and all for your HST’s.

Of the 615 I received, I had quite a few duplicates (10 and above, with a 18 from IL and a 22 from NJ) but I can live with that, it really doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

The only thing I am disappointed about is that all of them are from the USA (42 states) and one from Canada. I would really love to receive one from the rest of the International members (they are International to us as well) Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland etc, etc.

I don't know if this is the right forum but I will post it in another one as well
