My last Hourglass blocks arrived from Australia today. Thank you Margaret, they look terrific. I’m looking forward to putting these together. There are so many setting possibilities. A final thanks to all the Block Lotto participants in 2019 and prior years. It’s been great fun.

Thanks to Carol, Karen, and Peggy for the hourglass blocks that arrived today. I love them all. Your notes say how much you will miss Block Lotto, as will I. But the many nice quilts I’ve made for myself and others remind me of what fun we had. Kathie L. Allentown, PA

The hourglasses from Nann and Robin arrived this week. Thanks so much. I love the fabric choices. Kathie

As a child I had a small hourglass and loved to watch the sand slip through the tiny opening. I think there will be many interesting ways to arrange these blocks. Here is one that I like. Kathie L in...

I found a use for the orphan blocks that I won in February 2018. They made great centerpieces for placemats that I make each year for Meals on Wheels. Here are a few examples that will find their way onto tables this December. Thanks to all who participated that month. Kathie L in...

My single cup to Teresa was mailed today. Cheers! Kathie L in Allentown

I love fall and a quilt made with these blocks would be wonderful. One thing I like about Block Lotto is that my scraps get purposefully used up. When I picked a scrap of blue and a scrap of brown out of the bin, I decided I’d make as many blocks as I could to use the fabric up. With a bit of piecing to get that last 2-1/2 inch square, I had enough to make 7 blocks. I hope it is a lucky 7. Kathie L in...

My block will go in the mail today to Margaret. Kathie L in Allentown

I had the chance to make one cup of coffee, and will post it in case I don’t find the time to make another. Kathie L in...
