I took my woven bars blocks for Debbie and Nancy to the post office yesterday. Work, weather and life conspired to make me later than I’d like this month … which always makes me feel like I’m telling you all, “do what I say, not what I do.”  I promise to be a better example next month. If you haven’t yet mailed your October blocks, please get them in the mail soon (unless, of course, you’ve been hit by...

Here’s a photo of the quilt I made for my father from the step blocks I won a couple of months ago. Isn’t it great? I really think he’s going to love it. I’m going to give it to him tomorrow, so I snapped a photo today before it was too late. Thanks to all who contributed blocks—I’m really pleased with how they came...

I received blocks from Linda (Texas)and and Margaret (Australia) last week!! Thought I was waiting on more since Rachel had’t sent hers, but it finally sunk in that that is me, so ……… all the blocks are here!!!! Thank you, Ladies! Can’t wait to play with these!!

So sorry about my earlier post….I think I have all the step blocks after all, and I am going to assemble them this weekend. I am sorry for my mistake! I also have the mugs quilt assembled, and read to quilt, so I hope to get that quilted and bound as well on my retreat weekend. Thanks to everyone! Ginny

Sorry to be late in posting this, but I received lovely blocks from Julie P. and from Karen in South Africa. So cool to get blocks from so far away! Thanks very much. I’m also sad to say that as this month ends I’m still missing a dozen blocks, from 2 quilters in Georgia and 2 in California. If they make it in the next few days, I can assemble them into a top at a guild quilting retreat I’m going to this weekend. Fingers...

With the arrival of Jo’s Steps this week, I’ve received them all.  Thanks to Jo and to all who sent blocks to me.  They will look terrific together. Best wishes,  Kathie L in Allentown

I’ve received Steps blocks from Linda in Texas, Linnea in Connecticut and Kim in New York. Thanks, Ladies! Only one more to go. I really love these blocks!

I received Karen’s this weekend – one package to go.  I better get started on the few extras I need to make a top large enough for my plan.

Thank you, Laurina and Linda N!! – Erin

Your step blocks arrived this week, which means I’m almost complete.  Thanks for being so prompt.  Kathie L in Allentown

Steps in the post to Kathie today, apologies for the late posting but just got back from holiday.  Hopefully they will get to you safely from Oman. All future blocks will be sent from the UK as we are going home!  Enjoy your quilt Kathie.

Steps have arrived from Maree in New Zealand, Marybeth in Florida, Susan in Knoxville, Kate in Surrey, U.K., Sophie in Santa Fe, and Andrea in Arizona. (Andrea, I was in Peoria in Feb. What fun to connect with a quilter there!) This is so exciting! It’s like Christmas when the mailwoman arrives. Thanks, ladies!
