A Break and a Plan

Posted by Sophie on June 6, 2017 in housekeeping | 5 comments

In the past week (or so), I’ve seen posts/comments/email messages of three types:

1. Looking for the June Block information
2. Suggesting I take an open-ended break until I feel better
3. Offering to help

Here’s what I propose:

• Take a break for the month of June to get organized and see if anyone will volunteer …
• Recruit quilters from our community to be the “Lotto Leader of the Month.”

If you are willing to be a “Lotto Leader of the Month” (LLotM) here’s what you’d need to do:

• Choose a block (from the list of blocks already designed for this year)
• Decide on the Fabric guidelines (your choice!)
• Make a sample block or blocks–I’ll send you all the cutting directions to get you started
• Take in-progress photos and create the step-by-step directions
• Post the directions (your choice of format) and guidelines on the first of the month
• Update the at-a-glance page as quilters post their blocks
• Answer any questions that come up during your “month.”
• Review/approve comments (only those posted by people who don’t log in first)
• Use the Random number selector website to choose a winner (or winners)
• Post the winner … and you’re done.

Here’s how I’ll help:

• Send you drawings of a few blocks to choose from for your month
• Update your privileges on the site so you can do everything you need to do during your month
• Supply measurements and cutting directions
• I will sort out the mailing directions and send them at the end of the month–the only really tricky part of what I do.

Let me know what you think and if you are willing to be a LLotM.
