I’ve completed six window blocks and am donating them this time.  The colour is a bit washed out looking as I took this picture after dark but they are much nicer in...

I dug into my I-Spy collection and found frogs and little girls cooking.  These are fun quick blocks!  I am happy to have sewing time on this long holiday...

Oh my life has been very full this month. Lots of hard work and company have conspired to keep me from my sewing room. For a bit there I thought I’d never get all the blocks made for August. Mine is a happy ending thanks to the quick way these blocks go together I managed to steal a block (pun intended) of time to make the last 5 blocks to put me in the running for August Block Lotto! I really had fun finding the fabrics for these blocks....

 Here are my six blocks for this month’s draw.  They were fun to  make at a time when I needed to sew something without too much stress.  I was really happy when I saw the size of the  squares and strips as I had exactly those sizes available in my tamed scraps, but although plenty of squares from which to choose, I was surprised that I only had enough in the black/white for three of them, all the other strips were too short.

                    Hi all at Block Lotto. This is my first time here at Block Lotto. My first month has been a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to next month....

What a fun block! They were so quick and easy. Here are my 9. I hope I win!...

Clicking the book image will take you to Amazon.  If you like the geometric blocks we are making this year for the Block Lotto, you might want to check out the block patterns in this book. This is the Skyline quilt...

Finally! For the first time this year, I got to make lotto blocks. These are my three: two to donate and 1 for me.

Here are my 9 blocks for the lotto and 1 for the pot.  I had fun making these…..hope I get lucky!...

I did mail my July spoke but forgot to post.   And I don’t know WHAT possessed me but instead of my usual 1 (ONE) I made 4 (FOUR) BL blocks … and right now I had probably the least time to spare … but I had so much fun. Thanks, Sophie. It might also mean that I really would like to win,...

  My error is a block lotto gain. Yes?   I incorrectly counted the window blocks I needed for my sampler.  Therefore, I am making substitutions and adding two more blocks for August. Thanks for your understanding....
