Wow Ritzy. You are so fast. Thanks so MUCH for all your hard work!

[Margo]

Oh, Ritzy! You have earned your stars today!! THANK YOU!!!

[Margo]

OK--5 1/2 hours to sort and another three hours spent making nice piles for mailing and I am not done. I am very tired and very, very glad I am not Debbie and Clara (whew). Michelle arrived bright and early and did a great job helping. The package I was waiting for got here today so was able to be sorted with the rest. I will continue to get the packages ready and get them in the mail as soon as possible. Hope you all are delighted with what you receive.

It was just you and Michelle sorting right? Any words of wisdom that I can get would be awesome. Clara :shock: :shock: :shock:

[Margo]

There was Michelle, Kathy (my friend) and Loren (my DH) and myself. You will need more helpers for what you ladies have to accomplish. You need to let them feel free to take stretching and leg breaks. If you can plan for more than one day to sort--that would be good. The more fun you can have doing this the better. Clara, give me a day and I will tell you how we did it.

Wow...that was really quick. You are a SUPERWOMAN! I sure hope we can get our sorting done in one day, but I'm not too optimistic about it.

Take your time :!: :!:

I am sure we all have projects in the works and are not sitting here waiting for those hst's so we have something to do.

THREE CHEERS FOR RITZY!!!!!! It has taken a leap of faith to volunteer to lead one of our exchanges which have encouraged so much participation and enthusiasm on the Forum. There are lots more faces to put with names, lurkers pulled in and the feeling of community has grown. Thanks so very much, Ritzy! The squares will be neat and a lasting memory, but, the shared feelings are simply the best part.

[MaryQuilts2]

Jocelyn, you couldn't have said it better. Many, many thanks to Ritzy for her generous heart!!!

[MaryQuilts2]

OK ladies, I just got an email that Ricky Tims is sending a HST for each of us that he initialed. Here is the problem. I sent a lot of packages out today. So, if you will send me a SASE, I will send you one of Ricky's HSTs.

I am sorry, but if you don't send the SASE I will not be able to send you one.

Hi Ritzi,

My envelope within an envelope is on its way in today's mail. Thanks so much for making sure we all get a square from Ricky. Saying thanks for all your hard work seems to fall short for all that you're doing. Merci! Gracias! That's all I know in the way of other languages - I fall short there too!

LADIES--you only have to send a SASE if your name is in the above message. Thanks.

[ajclapp]

I will get my SASE in the mail tomorrow. My sister came over today to start sorting and organizing my fabrics. I was going to do something else while she was doing it but ended up helping and finding fabric for all kinds of projects that may never get used. She went home with a bundle of fabrics to make quilts for her grandkids. And there's still more sorting to do. I told her I'd look the other way while she threw away the tiny pieces. Don't worry, there are still plenty more in packages waiting for dozens of miniature quilts. Now I have some empty bins and drawers just in time for the HST's that will be arriving soon. Thanks Ritzy for all of your work putting this together.

[ajclapp]

Ritzy!! I am already delighted at what you have done and am looking forward to being delighted again once the little fellas arrive!!
merci beaucoup
