The boat from Australia arrived yesterday afternoon bringing Susannahs from Margaret. Combined with the blocks I received from Angie and Linnea earlier in the week, my pile of yummy green blocks is complete. Anxiously, I will begin trying to execute my plan next week.

Recently received blocks from Elizabeth, Peggy, Pat, and Julie. Then, while typing this the mailman brought the blocks from Susan. It is 6pm here! What is up with our mail service? Just a few more blocks to go before I can start so I have been thinking about the edges. Here is my first candidate: This pic looked better on my phone! It is more the color of the little highlighted area on the right and seems to blend nicely with all the different...

24 Susannah blocks no longer just “wish” they were here in the Land of Dixie thanks to Kathy in PA, Nann, Su, Cathy K, Karen, Kathy in OH, and Cathy in IA. They are all so beautiful and I can barely wait to begin putting them together.

I am so excited to have won the Susannah blocks!! (On April 1st. Hmmm.) I love the on point setting and found these 2 diagrams on www.generations-quilt-patterns.com: With and without...

My four blocks have been made for more than 2 weeks. I really enjoyed making them but posting the photo has been delayed. I have lost my Photoshop due to some Adobe licensing anomaly that hasn’t been resolved. When I paid the big bucks for their programs years ago, the impression was that it was permanently mine. Not so, apparently. Now they want $60 per month in perpetuity. Pah! With that excuse out of the way, here is a terrible picture...

My orphans were posted to Kathie and Kathleen yesterday and should be in their forever homes by Thursday.

We made 84 blocks so we will have two winners this month picked from 62 entries (donations excluded). Picking winners was really fun and educational too! I learned how to randomize my list in Excel before I generated the winning numbers of 36 & 58 which belonged to …. KATHIE & KATHLEEN Congratulations ladies, you will each receive 42 blocks. Now I will turn this over to Sophie to supply us with the mailing...

Winner will be chosen tomorrow (2/28) at noon CST.

I am not nearly as busy as Sophie and do not mind resizing your photo(s). Send them to 9lizards at gmail.com and I will email them back to you for posting.

My blocks have been packaged and mailed to both Nann and Cathy. They should be there very soon.

This month we are making a scrap quilt out of all that small leftover stuff. You know, those little extra parts and bits that have accumulated in the orphan drawer, the extra pieces, wrong sized HSTs, and leftover partial blocks.  Pick out some of those little orphans and let’s put them to work. My call for entries looked like this: To qualify, an orphan must be 3’ finished or less. They can be as simple as one leftover HST or as complex...
