What I Really, Really Want for 2017 Block Lotto

Posted by on December 11, 2016 in block lotto community | 1 comment

Well, first of all, I’m a big fan, even though I don’t play every month. I like the simple blocks the best and the paper-pieced blocks the least. I like the colors Sophie specifies — she keeps track of what we’ve done and spreads the colors nicely around. And the 6-1/2″ blocks are the best for me and for the mail. As far as the mystery block and quilt-a-longs, they just don’t appeal to me. I’d rather just make blocks and keep my fingers crossed that I might win once in a while. That way, I can make a...

So Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want …

This may seem late in coming, but I really really would like to know if anyone intends to continue following the Block Lotto (and making lotto blocks) in 2017.

Need address of where to send my hen, please!

Posted by on December 10, 2016 in block lotto community | 1 comment

I need the address of where to send my single hen, please. My podunk-holler email provider did an upgrade and I have not received any email sent between Dec. 3 and today. Plus they wiped out any saved webmail I had in my inbox, contacts and sent mail.   According to the website they are still working on it but it’s a weekend so I think not.   Anyway…email is working for now so if someone could send me Barb’s addy I might see it and be able to get the address on an envelope before emails disappear.   Thanks, Cathy...
