These are my two blocks for November. We won’t discuss how difficult these were for my pea brain, LOL! At any rate, they are for donation. Happy Thanksgiving to all you wonderful Lotto Ladies! (and Happy Thursday for those of you who don’t celebrate...

This morning I put the binding on the quilt I made with the lovely California Poppies blocks I won in August. Thank you, ladies, for all the great blocks! I won 40 (including 8 of mine which I kept) and then made 8 more, for a total of 48 blocks. I set them traditionally with a yellow leaf-print sashing and added green cornerstones to link all the green that plays through the blocks. The back is a tone-on-tone orange print, as is the binding. I...

I was able to find a couple little scraps of Halloween fabric, but I have no idea where they came from, LOL! So here are my two blocks for donation this month. The colors are more saturated than they appear in this...

Over the last couple days, I received California Poppies blocks from Peggy M and Linda N. This completes everything I was to receive. Thank you, ladies, for stitching these lovely blocks and participating in this wonderful group. I plan to sew an additional 8 blocks (to total 48) and set them with sashing. I hope to have a flimsy to share early next month. Thanks again!

Today I received the 3 lovely California Poppies blocks from Kate in England. Thank you so much – I love them!!

I made two of these sweet basket blocks for donation, since I was a winner last month. The instructions were just super and I really enjoyed making them. If I get more time later in the month, I may add more. Since I was a winner last month, the two basket blocks I made are for donation. And I surprised myself by really enjoying these. Super...

Today I received four beautiful California Poppies blocks from California, specifically Julie W.  I think that makes them extra special! (says me, a native Californian myself….) Thanks Julie!

More California Poppies blocks have arrived from Linda W and Karen B. Thank you! I can’t believe how well all the blocks play together. It’s going to be a beautiful quilt!!

Wow! Lots of beautiful California Poppies blocks were delivered today. Thank you to Barbara P, Kathy S, Robin and Su. Each block is perfect, and I can’t wait to start playing with them!

  Here are my eight California Poppies blocks for this months drawing. And here’s hoping the California wildfires are extinguished quickly, with minimum further damage. My heart breaks for my home...

Yesterday, finally, I mailed off three blocks to Gail and three to Margaret. In my defense, I was in Africa until just a few days ago. I had hoped to get them out before I left, but the mailing info wasn’t yet available. Anyway, there is an little token of apology included in each package.

Here are my six tree blocks. I LOVE these little guys – they were so  much fun!!  Thanks, Deana! Don’t grumble at me for being so early, please! I’m leaving in less than a week for a 2-week trip to Kenya, so it was now or never. When I get back, I may have time to do another set of three; we’ll see. And I’m hoping we get the winner of last month announced and the mailing instructions soon … ??  I’d like to get my package(s) on...
