Scrappy Trips on their way from El Paso, Texas to Debra in Quinlan, Texas.

I’ve mailed Debra’s block today. May it get to you quickly. Kathie L in Allentown

  Big mail day! My kids went to the mailbox and handed me the mail saying I had quilt blocks……..from Caroline, Janet, Julie P.,Kelly, Laura, and Sara. Thanks everyone.  The blocks are lovely! I let DS, age 11 open the mail and put the blocks up on the design wall….He is getting a scrappy trips quilt for Christmas, but not the lotto winnings.

Belinda, Benta and Cyndi, Your blocks are on their way to you. Happy December Special Happenings to all and Happy Quilting, Cathy Ann

blocks went out to Jo, Ellie, and Debra this morning. Congrats to all the winners!   Laura E. (ellison01)

Yep, I have received my blocks from Debra and Julie W.……Thanks ladies! I haven’t opened them yet, I was thinking of putting all my squishies under the Christmas tree and opening them all at once. Ha! Seriously, is that crazy? Would anybody care? I might not be able to stand it for that long!!! Belinda p.s. Hi Sophie, I was wondering why maybe my blog post isn’t showing up on the sidebar of the Lotto’s...

What if non-early bird quilters could add their blocks to the pool of virtual blocks?  Here’s how this could work.  Anyone at anytime who makes lotto blocks could upload...

Three scrappy trips are winging their way to Debra.

Shipped four scrappy trips to Debra tonight.  The lobby of my post office is open 24 hours a day, so I went in to use the automated postal machine after 8pm.  It was so strange being the only one there!

These two scrappy trips are on their way to Kristin.  We’ve just had our first snow so they may feel a bit...
