If you made 5-point star blocks last month, you should have received email from me. If it isn’t in your email in box, check your spam folder.  If you didn’t receive it, please let me know ASAP. If you have problems downloading/opening the attached mailing info sheet, please let me know ASAP. If the information for you on mailing info sheet isn’t correct, please let me know ASAP. Let’s all try to mail before June 17...

After a disastrous week in Austin, I am back in Santa Fe and catching up as fast as I can. I have updated the June 1 announcement post with some photos and more complete info. I have created the mailing info for the May blocks and will send that out to everyone who has made blocks later tonight or tomorrow. Next I will update the At-a-Glance page for this month and add all the wonderful schoolhouse blocks that have already been posted. And I...

Sorry for the delay, everyone … my life has been completely turned upside-down and inside out and I am doing the best I can. We have two winners for the month of May.  They will each receive a set of 56 blocks. And they are … Caroline and Maree. Congratulations to you both.   Ps.  It may be a few days this week before I can send out the mailing info.  Thanks in advance for your...

If you have made star blocks this month, it would be a good time to confirm that you and your blocks are correctly accounted for on the At-a-Glance page. You should also have just received email from me with the sneak peek info for the JUNE block. The sneak peekers are a pretty elite group this month–if my list is correct there were only a baker’s dozen (13) quilters who faced and conquered this challenge.  As of this morning, we...

In April, 36 quilters made 229 Hot-crossed 9-Patch blocks, won by our five winners: Andi, Julie P, Laura, Laurina and Michele.  Congrats, again.  Three new quilters joined the fun; welcome again to Courtney, Deborah and Sandra. Here’s the list of blocks made. Blocks entered in Drawing: Andi – 6 Barbara B – 9 Barbara S – 1 Béa – 2 Caroline – 9 Cathy C – 1 Christa – 1 Courtney – 4 *NEW* Debbie – 3 Deborah – 4 *NEW* Debra – 9 Ellie – 8 Ginny...

Some good news — I was able to figure out how to do this on my lunch hour.  Although ALL photos are not yet posted (I have some in email messages that I’ll share later, from home), I updated the list, called upon Mr. Random to generate our winners and here they are: Michelle – 48 blocks Laurina – 48 blocks Julie P – 48 blocks Laura R – 48 blocks Andi – 37 blocks Thanks for your patience during my...

I am home from the hospital and on my way to work–where, unfortunately, I cannot access the blog 🙁 Assuming that I don’t end up back in the hospital, I will update the list and pick (using the random number generator) tonight … and post the information for the May block. I am sorry for the delay.  After being poked (and poked and poked) and prodded last night, the doctors really had no answer for me.  They ruled out pulmonary...

Sorry for the delay. I was feeling couldn’t-get-out-of-bed lousy all through the weekend and was really winded this morning. I thought that I was having “normal” problems adjusting to moving to a higher altitude, but because I was really short of breath and a little dizzy, I decided to go to urgent care at lunchtime … with a plan to take care of the block lotto afterward. The good news is that my “blood ox”...

These are the fabrics I picked up at Joann yesterday for my May blocks. Each block will use 2 fabrics and may be: one black and white print and one bright fabric/li> two bright fabrics with good contrast It is still uncertain whether I will be able to send out the sneak peek on time on Tuesday .. the equipment for my Internet is supposed to arrive on Wednesday and I do not yet know if I will be able to reach the outside world from work. Stay...

I finally mailed my scrappy triangles blocks today.  I know that life happens   . . .  but if you have not yet mailed your March blocks, please do so ASAP. Speaking of life happening, I have accepted an offer to work in a 4 month  project in Santa Fe New Mexico and will be making the 800 mile drive (with the cats and some essentials) this weekend. My relocation shouldn’t effect the sneak peek on Tuesday, but depending on what I find when...

If you made scrappy triangle blocks in March, you should have email from me with the mailing info . . .  actually TWO email messages from me because I forgot to attach the mailing info sheet to the original one.  (Sorry about that). If you don’t receive the messages from me, please let me know. (It’s always a pretty good idea to check your spam folder first, if you have one.) If I have the wrong number of scrappy triangle blocks...

In March, 51 quilters made a total of 286 Scrappy Triangle blocks. Congratulations, again, to our winners: Karin, Laura E., Marie (a newbie!), Marilyn, Nan and Susan. Welcome again to our March newbies, Barbara, Karen B and the lucky Marie.  I hope you had fun making the blocks and will continue to play along. Before I reset the list and info on the At-a-Glance page, here’s the archive of blocks made in March. Blocks entered in Drawing:...
