Really cold & windy today so I’m glad I mailed 3 blocks to Kathleen yesterday.  Congratulations and I hope you have a lot of fun with your winnings!

I have 4 blocks, 2 sets to donate this month.  Good Luck BL...

Gwen & Elizabeth, I hope you have a sense of humor because some odd blocks are headed your way from MN.

Starting over!!  I removed the fused centers.  Soft Fuse Premium is a great fusible as it is easily remove-able but does stick well & is soft enough for hand work.  I pieced one block and hand appliqued 2 block centers.  So these are revised replacement sort of entries so I still have just 3 for Sept....

I hope I have the right category as there will be Block Lotto quilt(s) at the Expo and Block Lotto members are going to be there with their other quilts, too.  The Expo is unique as it combines 2 folk art traditions, woodcarving and quilting.  It’s also an open show welcoming all quilts; old & new, beginner & expert, traditional & modern, small & large, near & far, yours or someone else’s.  Every quilt has a...

Fun & easy blocks are just what I needed instead of prepping for next weekend’s big Upper Midwest Woodcarvers & Quilt Expo here in Blue Earth, MN!  I should be cleaning and reorganizing a current store room back into a bedroom.  I had packed up my DS’s stuff when he bought a condo thinking he’d want his stuff.  Yes, he does want his stuff just not in his apt. So I made little window blocks instead of chucking stuff out...

Mail has erupted from Vesuvius, VA!  Thanks Erin for the great blocks!

Beautiful May blocks arrived today from Mariella in Mexico.  Thanks for the extra fun fabric and a lovely note.  I think you & your DH have the right idea, find a place you love & live there.  No more complaining about 2 ft. snowfalls!

Sunny blocks are going to to Julie P. in Titonka ( I should just drive them down), Laurina in Auckland ( delighted to send some sunshine down under) and Laurie in GA ( sunshine for a new baby).  Big hugs to Charlene for her thoughtful generosity.  Have fun!

Thanks Sandra in Landenburg, PA for the blocks and fun quilt pattern!

Julie’s blocks from Titonka, IA made it across the border but Kate’s envelope from Surrey, UK had a tough time crossing the pond!! Fortunately the blocks and brilliant art card were unharmed.  Thank you both!!

The mail did get through even with branches & trees down all over town from last night’s storm.  No one hurt and the storm let up enough so I could go to Blue Earth Valley Quilters last night.   Thanks for the cheery mail Sharon in Buckley, WA & Andrea in Peoria, AZ.
