I have just sent the list of names for the drawing to Julie, who is doing the honors this month. We ended at a total of 286 blocks–enough for SIX WINNERS.

Tomorrow, Saturday, March 31, at noon (US East Coast time) is the deadline for posting your blocks. Julie (Floribunda) will be driving the random number generator and choosing our winners–there will be at least FIVE WINNERS this month.  If 10 more blocks are posted before the deadline, we’ll have enough for a SIXTH set of blocks for one more winner. If you aren’t able to check in with me via email over the weekend (should you...

SNEEK PEEK If you have mailed and posted your blocks, your name and blocks should appear on one of the list on the At-a-Glance page and you should receive Sneak Peek email from me with information about the April Lotto Block. If you cannot find your name on the list, the number of blocks attributed to you is wrong, OR you didn’t receive the Sneak Peek email from me, let me know ASAP. APRIL FABRICS For everyone else,  if you want to start...

To those who stopped making blocks when they ran out of white fabric, I may have bad news for you–we’ll be using it again next month.  I’m giving you the heads up now in case you want to prepare and/or make more blocks for the drawing this month. I’ve updated the list on the At-a-Glance page.  Now would be a good time to take a quick look and make sure that your blocks are correctly included. Saturday will be the...

Someone asked if I would be moving over the list of blogs from the old site (of blogs belonging to those who made and entered blocks in 2011) and someone else asked if we could have the updates from the blogs from the old site over here . . . I am not going to continue to chase the list of everyone’s blogs, however . . .  if you have a blog or web site and want to share it, be sure to add it to your profile.  I’ll export the list of...

Posted heart blocks to Debra in Quilan and Raelene in Australia yesterday. Not sure how long they will take to get to you from Oman, just hoping they actually arrive! Enjoy and congratulations on your wins.

The True Random Number Generator on Random.org determined that the winners this month are: Which means the following quilters have won heart blocks: Raelene wins 48 blocks Andra wins 48 blocks Debra wins 46 blocks Congratulations to the winners and condolences to the rest. I saved this image from the From the Magpie’s Nest blog a while ago–I like both blocks and the setting idea. I keep thinking our blocks might look with a similar...

I continue to struggle a bit with health issues.  I will update the list and use the random number picker to choose winners when I come home TONIGHT. So, the deadline will be moved to 4PM Eastern Standard Time (New York) … in case you have any in-progress blocks and time, today to finish them. I confess that I woke up this morning and thought that TOMORROW was the last day of the month.  Even during a leap year, February whizzes by all...

The sneak peek has been mailed.  If you made blocks and didn’t receive email from me, please let me know.

I will be sending out the sneak peek email tonight.  If you made blocks, please take a look at the (still ugly) At-a-Glance page to make sure you are on the list.  If you donated your chances, you should be on the list on the right, “blocks donated to the pot.” Since I have gone back to work (yay!) the email will be going out after I get home this evening.

I was looking for the usual list of persons and their block entries for the month. I went to At a Glance, but there is only 23 blocks listed, and it has been that way for over a week. Am I looking at the wrong place? Still trying to learn the new format….   WilmaNC
