SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING TRIANGLES EXCHANGE

[sallymom]

Hopefully the sorting process and a news article with pictures will be in the "sorters'" local newspapers, giving them credit for all their hard work and the impact they are having on the world. :lol:

I love it Lorchen! Debbie don't forget that I sent you an email. I received my triangle papers already and will get busy sewing soon!

I am sooo excited about this. I have never participated in an exchange before, and now to be in such a large one!! It is wonderful. Hopefully I will get my papers tomorrow and can get started. If the weather doesn't get too bad I want to hit the fabric shop again for more variety.

Thank you for organizing this, Is it ok to change my amount (do more), Of course I am planning to use different fabrics for each of the 28 Hst batches.

My paper is on the way and since watching the video of Edyta with Alex and Ricky I am eager to begin.
Is there an icon or button available for use on my blog to help spread the word of this fabulous fabric frolic to spread the enthusiasm for future exchanges??

I think the very best thing to get people excited about an exchange it to become a TQS member and watch Episode 802 with Edyta Sitaar! Then watch the excitement of this worldwide exchange, and set up one of your own!

Amen to that, sista!

I decided to go for the 616 triangles, including 12 from my Mom. They are not all the same fabrics, they are from my most favorite pieces in my stash. They are sewn and now I'm cutting them apart. Just trying to keep them in some order in my sewing room is a big effort! I surely appreciate Clara and Debbie's calm assurances that they have things under control. The effort involved in their sorting will be mind-boggling. I can hardly wait to see them when they come back here!

Oh my goodness! I have so much fabric; so many choices! I'm having a blast going through it and trying this and that... Wish ya'll were here to help me decide :wink:

I am loving this sisterhood, I can hardly wait for my papers, books and fabrics (which I just HAD to have) arrive from the US.
I have been looking at some of your profiles and I am absolutely in awe at some of your quilts.
While I wait I am watching the weather station and as if Queensland hasn't had enough recently now we have this humungous cyclone on its way to North Queensland due to hit just south of here on my birthday, so there goes my lunch out with the girls - all your prayers needed here. This land is definately a land of extremes, droughts, fires, floods, cyclones and awesome beauty, at least we don't get the blizzards that you guys get!!! LOL...

Good gravy!!!!! My thoughts are with you guys. Tough year!
I've been doing the same thing with checking out all the quilts. I'm most looking forward to wondering what all these HSTs are going to turn into.
Enjoy and I'm glad you are. Clara

Well done, Kathy...the 616 HST's is actually in 22 increments of 28! You did the math and we sincerely appreciate it. It's great that you're going to share some of your favorite pieces of fabric, too. I haven't even started mine yet! Hmmmm...I wonder why? Could it be that I haven't been able to get 3 feet away from my computer this past week and a half??? I am very anxious to get started on them though.

It's fine to change the amount you are sending, just be sure to include the number of HSTs and your screen name both inside and outside your package. I like that you're thinking in increments of 28, too. :wink: :wink:

I am so sad that I missed the deadline. I have been out of the loop for a couple weeks and just yesterday got in on the Batik exchange... in doing that I noticed talk about the SotTTE and after looking at some of the posts here, I am upset with myself for not staying on top of the posts here on the Quilt Show. I am sure the Batik exchange will be a good one, but I don't think it will reach the numbers that this one has.

[DebbieWolf]

I hope we don't have the numbers of the Sisterhood. I am by myself on the Batiks exchange. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me". Bring it on!
