The trouble about sneak peek is that you might forget to post your block. I love this technique. All sorts of possibilities when to use it are going around in my head. I LOVE BLOCK LOTTO for what I am learning! Thanks, Sophie, from Christa in...

Here is my $30 block ha-ha. My first one wasn’t up to measure because I sewed on my “old”  German machine which I keep in our place near my daughter/grandson. Germans don’t work in inches so no quarter inch foot. Well Pfaff does make one now and a very fine one it is. So much more fun when it comes out right 9 1/2 x 9...

Your blocks are on their way from Christa and Helen … mailed in Glen Allen, Virginia. Congratulations!

Most likely my one and only this month. Definitely a challenge … but that is why I like Block Lotto. Hope the patriotic flags are o.k. since it is a July block and we just celebrated Independence Day. The back ground is yellow though (since white was not...

Your schoolhouse is on the way. Congratulations! Hope you will have fun with it.

Congratulations to the winners and happy assembling! from Christa in VA

Sophie asked me to share my notes on the little red schoolhouses pattern. I had posted them on my blog http://christa-feelingblessed.blogspot.com. Happy to do so. Here it is:   Re-written cutting directions to make “Little Red School Houses” found here.  (I think it is a BOM project by AzPatch) Cut from white-on-white print – – – cut a strip 2 ¾ “ wide four 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ squares = A one 2 3/4″ x 2...

I am happy with my first effort of the little red school house. Boy do I wish I could give it a garden or drapes, ha-ha. I had a little trouble with the directions. First of all I wanted to know which red goes to the roof, the gable side and the window side. I wrote myself directions (on my blog if you are interested). Happy stitching, Christa in...

My HC9P is on the way to you from Christa in Virginia ( but mailed from Nashville TN). Congratulations again!

As always, I might not have tried this if it wasn’t for Block Lotto … but I learned and think it might fit nicely into my “sampler”. My daughter says that my stars are not ‘liberated’ enough. Can’t help it. That’s how they turned out. Hope they are...

My dear husband brought your block to the post office yesterday. Hope you are going to enjoy it. Congratulations! Looking forward to see what you do with all.

I am surprised that plaid actually looks this nice in a quilt. Learned something new again … and never knock it before you tried it. Thanks,...
