If you made Silly String lotto blocks in July, you should have received email from me. Let me know ASAP, if: You made and entered blocks, but didn’t receive the email, or You have problems opening the one page PDF attachment with the mailing inf, OR You find incorrect information about you on the mailing info sheet. I think our winners, Gwen and Terry are going to make some really fun quilts from these.  I’ll bet I’m not the...

I’m a little worried about Linnea, because it has only been a couple days since she volunteered to be our “winner picker” this month … but it has been 12 hours and so I am going to go ahead and randomly generate our winners. And they are: Which translates into: Winner #1 (50 blocks) is Gwen Winner #2 (49 blocks) is Terry F. Congratulations, Ladies.  Look for email from me tomorrow.  I’ll be confirming that your...

Don’t forget, the deadline for posting blocks for the July drawing is NOON US East Coast Time–in approximately 2 and a half hours. I believe I will be able to check the blog for the last blocks, update the list for the drawing and send it to Linnea (our volunteer winner picker) soon afterward.  If not, I’ll come home for lunch (2 PM east coast time) and wrap things up. So far, we have 97 blocks, which means two winners, each...

If  you have made and posted silly tring blocks and/OR you made School House bocks in June (and missed out on getting a sneak peek for this month), you should have received email from me last night with the advance information for August. August?  Really already?  Incredible.  My summer in Santa Fe is flying by … This is also a great time for everyone who has made blocks to click over to the at-a-glance page and make sure you’re on...

I have just sent the email with the mailing info for the June School House blocks … to everyone I believe made blocks.

If you made blocks and I didn’t include them on the...

Ooops, I goofed.  One of our June winners actually intended to donate her block … and so, with the help of random.org, I have selected a NEW June winner: Congratulations, DEBRA. So,  Laura will receive a set of 48 blocks and Debra will receive 40 blocks. Sorry for the error. Speaking of possible errors, if you made blocks in June, please check that they are on the list on the At-a-Glance page … and let me know if I goofed on your...

I’m going to be apologizing a lot today, so I’ll start by apologizing for the delay in choosing the winners of the school house blocks.  They are: EDITED because I goofed and Andi, an original winner, had donated her chance in the drawing.  Laura moved up the list and Debra was chosen as a replacement winner. Laura (winner of 48 blocks) Debra (winner of 40 blocks) I will be sending you both email later today (along with posting the...

I am back in Texas, moving out of my apartment. So far, it’s going better than the last time … as you can see, I actually got a truck–a BIG one 😉 The sneak peek email for anyone who has made and posted School House blocks will be delayed a day or two until I am back in Santa Fe. I also have not updated the list of people who have made blocks (and will receive the sneak peek email about the July block). I tried to use my...
