Six State Fair blocks

Posted by margaret.rolfe on August 22, 2019 in blocks | Comments Off on Six State Fair blocks

Interestingly enough we don’t have State Faurs in Australia, they are generally know as ‘shows’, like the Easter Show in Sydney for the state of N.S.W. In rural parts of Australia we have local shows such as the Bangalow Show, and the North Coast National in Lismore also known as the Lismore Show. Here are my 6 blocks for the draw. Thanks Nann and Cathy for continuing Block Lotto. Margaret...

These are my four State Fair blocks. They are for donation, as Nann and I will be running the Block Lotto jointly. Hmmmm….. all work and no winnings, LOL. Sounds like fun! Seriously, though, these are great blocks and a lot of fun. Thanks, Nann. We hope you’ll join us this month and going forward. Let’s see some cute...

I was very skeptical when I first saw it because I rarely do appliqué but I really like it. So, hear it is! I hope it is acceptable. My first block in a...
