I am in meetings all day today and so the drawing today will happen sometime after 2PM (east coast), lunchtime for me (mountain time).  It looks like we’ll have two winners splitting these great blocks.

If you have made mug/cup blocks and posted them, you will be receiving the sneak peek email with advance information about the December block later today.   If you have made blocks but not yet posted them … if you do so before the email is sent, you will be included (Kate, I’m looking at you.) I’m experiencing some technical challenges–the batteries died on my wireless mouse and I don’t want to brave all the Black...

I have updated the show & tell posts so that the images are displayed on all the Gallery pages. It was like taking a walk down Block Lotto memory lane.  FYI, if there were in-progress posts for the same quilt, I only included the most recent in the Gallery. If you decide to take a walk down memory lane and check out the eye candy in the 125 Gallery posts and notice that you never posted a photo of your finished quilt … it’s...

I’ve just emailed everyone who made split star blocks in October with the mailing info. PLEASE, check my work: If you made blocks, but didn’t receive email from me, let me know ASAP If the number of blocks I said you made on the chart isn’t right, let me know ASAP If you have any problems opening the Adobe Acrobat format PDF file, let me know ASAP. Between the “Falling back” from daylight savings time saturday...

Just a reminder … I am still out of town (at Quilt Festival in Houston–one of my favorite group quilts above) and will not be able to prepare and send out the mailing info for another day or...

I will be out of town (Dallas tomorrow and then, Houston for Quilt Festival) starting tomorrow, so things may look a little different than usual here. Kate has generously agreed to handle the drawing tomorrow, including anyone who posts blocks up until the deadline of NOON, east coast time, and send email to the winners.  Thank you Kate. I will still put together the mailing info, but it may be delayed until I return on Monday.  If I find a...

The sneak peek email (with advance information for the November block) was sent late last night … well, late for me, anyway. If you have made and posted Split Star blocks, you should have received it.  If not, let me know. A cool benefit of being a bit of an international group was that when I woke up this morning, someone on the other side of the world had already tried the block and send me photos–thanks...

If you have made and posted photos of split star blocks by 8 PM (east coast)/5 PM (west coast) tonight, you will receive sneak peek email with advance information about the November block. Since I will be travelling to Quilt Festival in Houston on October 31 (with a stopover in Dallas to see the Dale Chihuly exhibit) and will be disconnected for most of the day, I’ve asked Kate to handle updating the list and the drawing for the winners....

In September 2012, 14 quilters made a total of 44 3-D Flower blocks. Congratulations again to our winner, Rachel–a lucky winner two months in a row!

 We made 44 blocks in September.  Thanks again to everyone who gave this out-of-the-ordinary block a chance. 12 blocks were donated with no chance in the drawing, leaving 32 names in the virtual hat. And the winner is Rachel. Your postman may start wondering why you continue to receive all this squishy mail. If you made blocks in August, you might still have Rachel’s address–she’s a lucky two-in-a-row winner. BUT,  please...

I mentioned to the sneak peekers that I wasn’t thrilled with the solid white I used for the example October block I made.  Yesterday, I went to Joann Fabrics and was happy to find that their solids are currently 40% off.  I also had a 20% off your entire purchase coupon, so the Robert Kaufman Kona white I bought yesterday was a real bargain.  If you are in the US and need a white solid to use for October or you want to add to your solids...

Hi Sophie I would like to donate my two chances this month thanks.
