I’ve been following along this year making blocks for my own QAL, but this is the first month I had time to make extras for the lotto. In fact, when I logged into WordPress I see I haven’t entered the lotto since 2013 … I look every month and admire everyone’s creations, but I guess I’ve been busy doing other quilty projects. Here are my two sets of leaves for...

I sent my bird blocks to Gail and Kate on Monday … hope they arrive at their new homes soon! Looking forward to seeing what the winners create.   I needed a couple of extra blocks to go with some orphan heart blocks and bird blocks were perfect. This comfort quilt will be going to kids at camp this...

I am the comfort quilt coordinator for our guild, and we put together fabric kits for our members to make charity quilts. I am always on the lookout for simple patterns which utilize the donated fabric we receive. One of my favorite sources of fabric are the sales samples which a local fabric representative gives us at the end of each season.

I haven’t had time for block lotto for awhile, but I couldn’t resist making these birds! I made 14, but I’m keeping 7 of them for other projects. So, here are seven for the lotto. Thanks for another fun block, Sophie. And thanks for the good instructions about how to post, I had forgotten...

I put my two slash stars in the mail today for Caroline. I hope you and Maree have fun creating with your winnings! Wendy F

Here are the two slash stars I made for the sneak peek. I’ve got a busy month, so I’m not sure if I’ll have time to make more. I found starting with a 13 inch square was more than enough, I will try 12.5 inches next...

After I saw Sophie’s blocks “on point”, I couldn’t resist making a few for the lotto. Here are my five. Also, I put my scrappy triangle blocks in the mail to Nan and Susan yesterday. Have fun creating with your winnings! Wendy...

I sent four heart blocks to Andra this morning. Hope you have fun making something beautiful!

Congrats to the February winners! Here are my five blocks for March – I had fun playing with some squares of “fruit” fabric I found in my sewing...

I played with my pink and orange scraps today and made four heart blocks for February. I googled a pattern for “woven heart”, but had to tweak the dimensions to make it 9″...
