Three blocks were sent from Ohio today to each of the May Block Lotto winners.  Congrats!  Make something pretty. 🙂

These Summer Reading blocks were so fun, that I had to do six. I loves me a good book…. or a good book block.  The first shot is all six blocks. You’ll notice that to three of them I added “book titles”. These were taken from selvages. I trimmed down the selvages (I only use the tightly-woven ones) and stitched on with a short 1.0-1.5 stitch length.  This is a technique I used successfully in my Reading Rainbow Quilt, which you can see on...

I made two Summer Reading blocks so far.  I hope to make more before the month is done.  I was not sure how to tag this block.  Fun block,...

  These are quick, easy and fun blocks to make. My biggest problem is that I lack light/medium low volume blues!  I found this little piece that was just enough for three blocks.   Cathy L in...

Here are my four summer reading blocks for June. Hopefully they fit the requirements. Thanks Nann for the idea and pattern....

Of course library...

Hi everyone,  where did the month of May go?  Oh, wait- I’m preparing my kid’s summer plans, work, doctor’s appointments, and poof, there it went.    Anyway, I managed to get 4 Rail Variation blocks made to enter in the drawing – just under the wire!  I hope it’s OK that my blues and greens have been joined by a small amount of other colors. 🙂 Last week (5/24) I sent my Noon&Light blocks off to Karen- hopefully...

Here are my four Rail Variation blocks for donation.  Karen N.

Here’s my nine rail variation blocks for May.  Happy Memorial...

Here’s my 3 blocks I’m donating for the May drawing — thought I’d never get these posted — turns our my camera’s memory card was full and I also needed a new battery.  Done and we are finally good to go! Tried to keep my blues and greens rich mediums in coloring … they look darker in the picture.  Hope they are  bright/colorful enough. Karen B in...

I have three this month.  I liked all the layout possibilities. I have been trying for 2 weeks to attach the picture. The only thing I see is add Media, and that is to the Block Lotto site. I don’t want to miss the drawing. Can someone send me the instructions on how I attach the picture to my post? rt1641@icloud.com ThankS (Edited by Sophie) I found your photo in the media library—here it...
