Just a quick note to say I’ve had my first set of blocks arrive (I expect most of mine will take longer than Marybeths to arrive due to being overseas from most of you) – anyway – I guess we had a good tailwind between Oregon and here as Kathleen’s blocks arrived on Thursday. I look forward to more heading my way soon  🙂  These will be fun to play with!

In the last 3 days I have gotten hearts from Christa in VA, Julie in IA, Kathie in PA, Kathleen in OR, Kathy in OH & Sophie in NM.  There is so much variety in these I love them all!  But there is one I have to share.  Kathleen could not have known but I am in love with my cow (her name was Rebecca when he arrived, but my horse is Becca so we started calling her Cowgirl, but now  it is mostly Your Ladyship).  She is a matronly little Dexter...

I have just put my 4 low volume hearts in the mail to Laurina. Congratulations to all February winners. Margaret

Sent these off yesterday. I’m not sure how long they will take – it is 1/2 way around the world, after all.

I dropped off my string hearts at the Post Office today. I mailed blocks to all three winners.  I hope you like them. I meant to take a photo because it turns out that the post office nearest me is inside a shopping mall–the first time I went looking for it, based on the address, I drove around and round the outer edge of the parking lot because I couldn’t image a US Post Office inside a mall.  I finally went inside to find it...

Here are 4 more, to donate from me, mb. in FLA & a “thank you!” to Nann in IL, your hearts arrived this...

My hearts went out this morning. One package for Marybeth and the other for Laurina. Congratulations! I am so happy for you guys. Enjoy. Julie P

String Heart packages went in the mail to all of the February winners (from Ohio, USA). Congrats!!!

   In February, 25 quilters made 114 Low Volume String Hearts, which were won by, Laurina, Kate and Marybeth. Congratulations to our three winners.

Where did February go?  Apparently it was long enough for 25 quilters to make 114 blocks, of which 26 were donated without a chance in the draw, leaving 88 blocks that counted. I decided that we’d split the blocks among three winners, with 38 blocks going to each.  This is lower than my usual “target” set size (of 49 this year), but it felt right for these blocks. … and the Winners are: Laurina Kate Marybeth (MB)...

I have several cut out but just time to make one (especially with the need to rip out some seams because the long triangle is still tricky for me even though I made the wonky hearts a year ago). I fear the blue is not quite light enough but I hope it will play well with others.  I hope I make it under the...
