Margaret, You book will be posted tomorrow. Kathie L Allentown

I wish I had time to make more than this one, but I’m glad I at least have something to contribute.  This is such a fun block!  I’m packing up some summer reading for vacation next week.  I currently love Louise Perry’s mysteries.  Have a good summer, everyone. Kathie...

I’ll have Linda and Theresa’s rail blocks in the mail tomorrow. Kathie

Kristin, I’m on my way to the post office to mail your April noonlight blocks.  What fun they will be! Kathie L in Allentown

I went with the number 6 for making blocks this month.  It looks like several others did too.  That should make for a nice pile of blocks for the winner.  A friend of mine just finished a scrappy version of this block for a charity quilt and it looked terrific.  I think I may start doing these blocks rather than 9 patches with my scraps. Thanks, Beth, for leading us this month. Kathie L in...

Karen, My South African orphan also arrived this week.  I’m glad I wasn’t on the plane, like your envelope, for over a month!  I’m glad to have received it, and all the rest of the blocks from the lotto players.  Now for the fun part. Kathie L in Allentown

Thanks Angie, for giving us a great block to use up scraps.  I love going through my scrap bin and finding a use for them.   Some of these calicos are quite ‘vintage’ and some fabrics are fairly new.  They all work together in a scrap quilt.  This block is not for the slap-dash quilter.  It required  precise cutting, pinning to make sure pieces came together well, exact scant 1/4 inch seams, and pressing carefully because of bias...

Robin, My blocks went to the post office yesterday.  I hope they arrive quickly. Kathie L from Allentown

I’d like to thank Barbara, Elizabeth, Marg and Terry for the orphan blocks that arrived during the second half of March.  I know that Karen’s from South Africa are on their way, so I think that you’ve all done a great job of sending off your blocks in a timely fashion. One of the charities I sew for each year is Meals on Wheels.  They like to include a little something along with the meals in December, and my quilt guild...

So many orphan blocks have found their way to my home so far this month.  Thanks to Angie, Glen, Julie, Kate, Nann, Peggy, Robin and Su. Kathie L

I predict you’ll  get loads of Susannahs this month.  It is quick to assemble and in one of my favorite colors.  Here are my four. Kathie...

I’ll have time to make this one orphan entry this month.  I’m sure it will be glad to join others at the end of the month. Kathie...
