    Dear fellow Wott’s;

    I have 30 reels done & with a new machine & a little practice I have once again surprised myself! I love this forum; it pushes me to try new things and figure them out. Things I wouldn’t ordinarily do on my own! Love you guys. Here are what I have done so far.
    P.S. Should I cut the ends off to measure the 3 1/2 “ (I have them cut the 3 1/2 “) by 4 1/2” or leave on little on the end-length wise ?

    Thanks

      Good for you Barbara! Yes, just trim those babies up to be 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". I took off a bit on each end. Technically, the top and bottom strips should be 3/4" wide so when sewn into the blocks they'll be 1/2" wide just like the center strips are. But it's ok if the individual strips vary a bit... as long as the total size is 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".

      Does that help?

          I'm not Rosemary but can tell you that SoTTTs and Batiks-R-Us are the first two exchanges done by TQS members. You can read about them starting here:

          http://forum/friendship-triangle-exc...ngles-exchange

          and here: http://forum/friendship-triangle-exc...abric-exchange

          The SoTTT exchange (Sisterhood of The Travelling Triangles) wound up with 561 participants from 12 countries exchanging almost a quarter million HSTs!!!

            hello sue

            the BatiksRUS was a Batik Exchange early 2011: http://forum/friendship-triangle-exc...abric-exchange
            the SOTTTs was the Sisterhood of The Travelling Triangle Exchange: http://forum/friendship-triangle-exc...ngles-exchange
            then there are also the STRIPPERS, which was also the Sensational Strippers Exchange: http://forum/friendship-triangle-exc...ppers-exchange
            the names also refer to the persons participating in these exchanges

            i met lots of wonderful people here in TQS land through these great exchanges, the WotRoTT exchange is a direct result from those...
            some of us can never get enough

                  BTW what is the postage from UK to Canada, and do you want/need an envelope?
                  postage to Canada will be £4.19 including the envelope, which I have already - I just hope we can avoid the postal increases which happen in April for the return journey.
                  I've also sent you another copy of the posting instructions for you to lose on your computer :wink:

                    We all met some wonderful members through those exchanges! I have had many emails to and from Lotti, riverowl, crocus, Rosemary, and on and on! I consider these ladies my friends now! Dozens of them! You can't meet a greater group of ladies! (and guys!)

                      Personally speaking I like clean, clear colours, I like batiks, & hand-dyes (despite the bleeding & the need for colour catchers). I have a long term handsewing project in mind which involves greens (but some-how I keep geting side-tracked :wink: ). I have plenty of Pinks already in my stash.

                      Hope this helps.
                      Yes it does! I have a very large stash of FQ dyed by me. And, many of them are in greens! That makes it easy, I can just ask which one
                      wants to take a trip across the ocean and grab the one that volunteers!

                        I decided to outside my box, even though it's a comfortable box, and am making my reels lime green sherbert. Something bright in this dreary winter.

                          Lorna,
                          Regarding including your name & address in your Forum post, I have found that the Forum
                          comes under Google searches for all to read. The only block to non-members of TQS is that
                          they are prevented from seeing photos or making a post themselves.
                          I think it's wise to Google oneself occasionally to see what's out there.

                          Many thanks for all your efforts on our behalf. Will get my blocks sent to you as soon as I can!

                          P.S. as to value...are we going mostly medium to dark or are light color reels OK?

                            Roseanne, maybe this will help. This is the inspiration "Spool Quilt" from Edyta's book Friendship Strips & Scraps.

                              OMG! I just Googled myself, and find me all over the place! Mostly quilting stuff, but what a shock! (And, some of you are right there with me!) I Google myself a couple of years ago, and was nonexsistant! I kind of keep a low profile and am in disguise on Facebook. You will never find me there. Well, I guess I've come out of hiding!
