I used all the scraps on my table to make a couple of hearts.  One is mostly red, for the lotto, the other I made into a small mat and gave to my sister in law.  Both used lots of little pieces and bits that were left over from recent...

2 butterflies started their journey to Deborah in Ohio from our little corner in eastern Oregon. Wishing them a safe journey and that they bring Deborah joy. Kathleen

These are some blocks I made from my scrap bag.  Some of the greens are a little “borderline”  – I hope they are...

One of the things I like about Block Lotto is I always learn something.  I learned two things about myself making these:  1)  I don’t have very much orange in my stash.  It is not that I dislike orange, as I will use any color to get the look I want.  Still, these are the only 3 fabrics I had that were orange.  2)  I had never given a lot of thought to grain line on paper pieced blocks, and it is more difficult to get them straight than I...

My last two snails arrived today – thanks, Su! (Did you notice one is backward?)   They are now hanging out on my design wall, awaiting their place in at least one quilt.  (that’s my Old McDonald blocks across the...

Three blocks in the post today on their way to Karen L, aka LaceFaerie.  Welcome to the Block Lotto and congratulations on winning.  Your mailbox is going to be a lot of fun to visit this month.  Kathleen

Came home from vacation last night to a mailbox full of fun.  Thank you to Ellen, Karen N, Lori M, Margaret Ro, Naomi, Pat K, and Sophie for your beautiful blocks.  All here except for 2 from Su in MI.

The last few days the mail has held snails from Laura R, Mary B, and Julie P.  They are all beautiful, thank you!  (Julie, I especially like the one with the seed packet words fabric – so cute!)   We are getting ready for a trip to the coast over spring break with our oldest grandson, so won’t be posting for awhile.

More blocks in the mail last night from Debbie M in Israel, Laurina in New Zealand, and Nann in Illinois.  Thanks for the great blocks and friendly notes, ladies.  This is so much fun.

I arrived home last night to find three packages in my box.  Thank you to Robin, Marianne (with an extra piece of brown fabric), and Glenna (including a pretty, lacey angel).  Your work is beautiful, and blessed my day.

Posting my 3 that I did from the sneak peek.  Since I won last month (Yeah!) I will donate these this month.  Good luck everybody. Still have to make some of these for the Old McDonald quilt along.  Planning to have some fun with that later this...

Hi, all,  Liking the looks of this year’s blocks, so thought I’d get in on the fun.  Think I’ll join in on the Old McDonald Mystery Challenge, so will use my time on those, and just put these two into the Lotto.  Thanks, as always, Sophie, for your...
