I opened my stack of mail last night and there were ten envelopes of exciting fireball blocks from the following people: Barb K, Christa (thank you for the gift of an extra block bringing my total to 53 too!), Julie W, Kathy S, Linda W, Margaret, Nann, Susan and Sharon. It was so much fun seeing all the different fabrics and spotting some I had in my own stash. I’ll be on the look out for the remaining six envelopes and will let you know...

Here are my four blocks for February for donation. I have been on vacation and just returned home. My mail was delivered a bit ago and I see I have a lot of Fireballs in that stack of mail. I’ll go through it tonight and let you know which ones...

Here are four Fireball blocks for the January drawing.  I love these blocks and colors.  I’m hoping I get time to make more. Thanks...

Basket blocks are on the way to Kathy and Peggy and should arrive early this week.  Have fun with them.

I have three tree blocks to donate for this month.  Nice pattern and not difficult to...

Karen and anyone living overseas! Don’t feel you have to donate your blocks because of postage; you should hold your head up and participate fully. All of us can take turns mailing out of the country. Each time I mail an envelope or package I marvel that someone is willing to take it from my home town and hand deliver it to my recipient. wherever they live in the world, in just a matter of days/weeks and charge such a tiny bit for the...

I hand delivered my Rail blocks to Myrna.  Congrats, looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!

I sent my two noon and night blocks off to Karen in South Africa today but didn’t ask how long it would take.  Hope they arrive safe and soon.
