5 Belated Spokes
Like Kate, I forgot to post before the sneak peak–made these blocks two weeks ago! I don’t have a sewing machine where I am, so that’s all for this month. Good luck everybody. But especially to me 😉 — I love these blocks!...

As is often the case, I made some lotto blocks before the sneak peek deadline, and of course forgot to post them to this blog until afterwards… Doesn’t matter, though, they are here, and will be counted! I had fun with this block, and actually, have made some more in a red & white colourway to add to my ever-growing stash of block sets, which will eventually be turned into charity quilt tops for Project Linus. Another...

Pairs of blocks are...

Good News, Bad News and … the July Mod-Mod QAL Update
The good news: I’ve begun working on a short contract gig. The bad news: It might take me a while to remember how to juggle Block Lotto deadlines with a (nearly) full time job. Thanks, in advance, for your patience with me. I’ve been stressing out about whether the contracts and scheduling would come together for the job and haven’t yet made any of my MMQA (Mod-Mod Quilt Along) blocks this month. I am determined NOT to...
