Actually I'm now up to 82.... and still counting.... Till I get rid of this old pink thread! 
in reply to moraih's post:
I'm part of the Melbourne tat and chat, but am sending mine in separately. I have found a couple more that were in another bag- so I have a total of 19. I do wonder hoe many Cathy will end up with- and hope it isn't too many for her to stitch together in the time she has!
I look forward to seeing a benporath square too :)
One more of the original done, -- a variant that I'll post a photo of-- and then the "magic" Pink Square.
in reply to FionaT's post:
She's asking for 10,000, so I doubt we'll be in any danger of sending in too many!
I look forward to the Benporath square too. A really nice side benefit of this project has been all the little square motifs that can be used together - and for the most part free to use as we wish. :)
in reply to FionaT's post:
Yay! That's a very healthy number of squares to get done. Thank you!
in reply to IdahoCanuck's post:
Holy Canoli, you're lightning fast! I can't wait to see what our final counts are.
in reply to moraih's post:
Maybe we need a separate thread for all the square patterns?
in reply to ninetta's post:
I'm really impressed with everyone's output! I wonder how many people world-wide will break the 100 mark - I'll bet they can be counted on one hand. Thank you, Ninetta!

I'll be publishing the copyright free ones in my guild's newsletter, and the links to those I don't have permission to reprint, so they'll be all in one place. If anyone's interested, I can send you an electronic copy of the newsletter when it comes out. Just e-mail me privately with the e-mail address you wish me to send it to.

Does anyone know @janemactats personally and check on her? I sent her a private e-mail some time ago and haven't heard back from her, so I'm a little worried. I just want to know that she's okay.

I'll email her right away & ask her to check her PMs here. She doesn't visit Craftree too often.
She's blogging regularly, so I'm sure she's fine. http://janemactats.blogspot.com/

Thanks for checking on her, Muskaan. I'm glad she's fine. :)
@IdahoCanuck, wow, that is a lovely little square.
I'm at a dozen now, working on my pink from AU... got to get going. What was the mail deadline?
@Judy she wants to get them by March 1st... so plan accordingly.....
The first pkg I sent took about 2 weeks (give or take a day or two) for her get it and post it on her page.
She posts pictures and acknowledgment of all the squares that she receives.
I’ve just received notification that my squares have arrived. Our postal system is very erratic, so I posted early.
I've managed nine: seven of the original and two Weldon's. Given current life, I think that's going to be it for me.
in reply to IdahoCanuck's post:
Can you post the link where Cathy posts the totals she's received? I've hunted for it, and can't find it.
in reply to becky400's post:
That's certainly a respectable number. I've got two more days to finish 8 tiles to meet my own goal before I mail them.
Everyone, please let us know how many you're sending in by February 1st so I can put together our final total and announce the winner of the contest sponsored by www.SomethingUndertheBed.com I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone!!!

she's posting photos in Facebook, the event named "Let's tat a Brussels' monument in pink for women's rights"
in reply to moraih's post:
she hasn't posted a total yet..... that I know of..... and I think she said she wouldn't until she gets them all in after March 1st. I've been following her on Facebook and each week she has been posting pictures of the letters and squares that she receives, and mentions each person and what their wish for women is.

She also asks that you share your pictures of your squares at #TatAMonumentInPink
in reply to IdahoCanuck's post:
Thanks! I thought she'd keep a running total as squares arrived in the mail. It would be nice to see how close we are to reaching our goal, and it might inspire others to pitch in. I appreciate the links! I'll have mine done by Feb. 1st - only need 4 more to meet my personal minimum goal. It's too bad I've run out of time. Everyone's contribution of a new square to try really inspired me! I'm still playing with @ninetta and @Judy 's squares. I ran across a couple of Coats & Clark vintage squares that may fit the size requirements too. I'm thinking I can probably put together a second lot of square tiles for my next guild newsletter - you know, just in case we decide to do this again, only in a different color!
