I’ve had a busy summer with quilt shows and visitors, but I think I’m correct in saying that all the Vee Blocks have been received. Thanks to everyone who had made them for the great color choices and the perfect piecing. I hope to be able to do them justice when they go on my design wall this winter. Living in a climate where summer lasts only three months and the “shoulder seasons” are short, too, I do most of my...

Love the postal carrier! This week I received beautiful Vee blocks from Karen B., Nann, Kathy S., Peggy, Kathie L., and Robin. Thanks to all of you for the perfect piecing.

These blocks helped me polish up some very rusty paper-piecing skills. I intended to just make a few, but they proved to be quite addictive. Spring has finally ended here in Michigan and everything around is a different shade of green, so the blocks were a timely assignment. Thanks,...

I just heard from a neighbor Block Lotto member that I made a mistake on my purple blocks, reversing the positions of the corner squares. I have corrected the blocks, but taking a new picture and posting it is beyond my capability tonight.

Here are the ten Modified Tees that I constructed on a rainy & sunny, cold & warm-ish, completely average May day in Michigan. I thought they were fun to put together and Sophie’s instructions were easy to follow.

I mailed four blocks to Peggy in Georgia and five to Carol in Canada. I hope they will enjoy setting them into a new true blue quilt.

I sent my Wings blocks to Kathy in Ohio today. And I made 9 Twin Sisters for the April draw. They were a lot of fun to construct and I loved the two-color choice.

Here are my four Wings of Spring. I’m donating them this month because I won in January and right now I don’t need another UFO! Spring is finally springing here in Michigan with blue skies and lots of yard clean-up to be done (or not done because I’m...

Over the past weeks, I’ve received Fireball blocks from everyone from far and wide, except for the ones I’ll get from a fellow Guild member next Monday. I’m going to be making a few more to make the quilt a good size. Thanks, everyone.

So far, I’ve received blocks from five people, four of whom are named Cathy, Kathie, Kathy, and Kathleen. And Nann, who was the first into my mailbox. Thank you.

I enjoyed making the January blocks — the colors provided heat during a nice steady snow here in Michigan. A good time to hole up and get serious about sewing and sharing. Thanks, Sophie, for the inspiration and good instructions.

I took the opportunity of a Guild Meeting to deliver the 7 rail blocks I made to Myrna. No postage required! The only problem was that I did this two weeks ago, but with a crashed computer and nothing but a phone — even though it was purported to be a “smart” phone — I was unsuccessful in several tries at posting this information. New computer — I hope it works this time!
