3 for Kathleen

3 for Kathleen

Here are 3 blocks for me this month.  I usually piece blocks for block lotto, as it is good for me to practice good piecing techniques, but this time I am really busy, so went for the paper piecing instead.  Thanks, Sophie, for providing that choice.   Doubt if I get time for more, you see, we moved back here to be closer to our 4 grandsons, and this is baseball season – we have 3 playing, each in their own age group.  Keeps their mother,...

Dug into my scrap boxes yesterday for fabrics for this month’s block.  Yellow, no problem;  orange, got some of that, too; maroon…hmm.  My first thought was a reddish purple color, found one of those.  Then I looked it up online, where it is defined as a reddish brown color.  Found one that fits that description better.   In the end I used them both – diversity makes good quilts, right?  So here are 6 for me, if the colors are...

Birds #2 or Block Lotto Revisited

The rest of my tall birds have been on my design wall for awhile.  I had made the center panel, arranged the birds (including the” twin”s in the lower right, one by me and one sent by Glenna), and even printed the Bible verses that are included, but still had a lot of space to fill.  Now around my design wall there is a set of block lotto blocks, one for each month, that I have been making and saving for a sampler.  I took some of...

Tall birds quilt done

Tall birds quilt done

Just sharing my tall birds quilt with everybody.  I used at least one block from everybody, and there is a label on the back that tells where they all came from.  I have a few blocks left, which I am already planning to use in a second quilt.  Thanks Sophie, for making this possible, and to everybody who sent these fun blocks to...
