California Poppies
Here are four California poppy blocks for August. Fun and easy to put together. Thanks to Julie for this month’s pattern. This month I am donating my blocks. I was fortunate to win last month and will be working to get that top together as soon as final blocks arrive! Sincerely, Su Quilting in...
Read MoreThree blocks for August
I had a harder time with fabrics for this block than I thought I might – apparently I don’t have many bluey greens. This one is far greener than it looks in the photo, though. I’m hoping that some of my reds & oranges are ok, even though they have quite a bit of other colour in them – if not, please let me know and I’ll withdraw them. Actually, I’m donating them to the pot anyway, so I don’t...
Read MoreA California Poppies block
Hi, Everyone! I made myself get my Red Forest blocks mailed off to Su in Michigan before starting one of these bright California Poppies blocks. I was glad to see that she received them. However, I was afraid I wouldn’t get anything made this month, as I had an unusually busy August. However, I got a few quiet hours today to do as I wished, and here it is! I don’t know if I’ll get any more made, but I guess I have a few...

Busy month here and I almost didn’t find time to make the Poppy Field blocks. What a great idea for a quilt. Today was a sewing day and I enjoyed digging through my scrap baskets. Oranges and yellows abounded, but there were almost no blue toned greens. It is true, I have finished two green themed quilts in the last 12 months, but there is still a huge pile of greens in the cupboard. Strangely, all are in the yellow-green family,...

This is my first BlockLotto entry, 8 blocks. I have so many UFOs, I cannot imagine why I am taking on yet another project, but, like many of you, I just cannot help myself! I retired 11 months ago from newspaper editing, and thought I’d get caught up, but instead, have found sooooo much time for fabric shopping and must-do-this-one-too...

I have been anxiously checking my post-box daily for the past three months, and I am sorry to report that our postal system seems to have slowed down to almost a standstill. The last envelope in was on 19 June….. Yesterday I was happily surprised to get a sixth envelope with blocks, thank-you Kathy S! I have now received blocks from: Cathy K, Christa, Kathy S, Linda E, Peggy M and Robin. To Angie, Barbara P, Cathy L, Kathleen, Linda N,...
