trips-received

Hello, I made a mistake earlier it is not rails it should have been trips-received. Debra

2 African Violets

I know I didn't make the deadline this month (SORRY!) so I will donate my blocks since I'm too late. I laid my son down for a nap and forgot to upload them before the nap, GAH!

3 last minute and final blocks

Well finally, with the time difference being favorable to me, I managed to put together another 3 blocks - taking my total to 8 - one short of the maximum.

Fingers crossed now as the draw is near. I could very well see a lovely African Violet wall-hanging in my bedroom as it would be the right colour scheme. Dreaming, dreaming - before I am off to prepare diner.

Three total for Kim H.

I made two more blocks this morning. Had planned to have more, but one had to be redone and I threw in the towel. It was a beautiful block and I hope to make more of these when I don't win :).

Sorry about the photo quality. My vacation photos did not upload last night; that proved a problem for this morning's violets.

Hopefully the long weekend will help me get a head start on next month's blocks.

African Violets

I always seem to be squeaking in at the last minute with these, don't I? Oh well, better than not getting in at all I guess.
I had 9 all cut and ready to go, but 2 ended up totally wonky in the middle for some reason and no amount of fiddling seemed to be helping and then one ended up too small when I trimmed, so 6 it is. Good luck everyone.

3 Blocks from Deana

Deana hasn't participated in a while.  She emailed her blocks to me to post for her.  With these our new total is 300 blocks.

Deana, let me know if you want to be re-invited as an author, OK?

last minute blocks!

I managed to put together 2 more blocks -- for a set of 3.  I'm donating my chances this month.

Julie Wa

My August blocks...

9 blocks + 1 extra.





Laura

one violet

I only had time for one this month, due to work and travels and family visits. I should do more to overcome my triangle phobia and improve my skills. Ah well. They are beautiful.

and 2 last ones

I managed 2 more before I jump into bed so that finally bring my total to 5.

Good night!
Celine

2 more blocks to bring my total to (only) 3

Here are 2 more flowers from me, I was hoping to make more but didn't get enough time with being away on holidays. I'll still keep my fingers crossed though!

I believe the deadline is tonight for posting pictures?

Celine

A Solo Violet

I made a single block this month.

Been crazy busy with moving and unpacking.

It felt good to turn on the machine and sew a bit.  and then I had to find the camera.

Which I did - it was packed with the tupperware.

Why?  I have no idea!

African Violet Blocks

Here are my four blocks. Fun block to sew but busy time of life. School starts in a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed! Hope to win a few of these!

Welcome Terry

I am posting these for newcomer Terry, from San Lorenzo, California.  Here's what she had to say about her first block lotto effort:

This is my first month to enter the Lotto.  It took me so long to get 3 "decent" blocks, I don' t have time this month to read all the rules for posting the pix to the blog.  I would like to be entered in the August Block Lotto.  Would you please post these for me?  I will read the post instructions and be ready next month.

Please welcome Terry and reassure her that blogging is pretty easy to learn. 

African Violet blocks

I'm finally posting the 5 blocks I made for the sneak peek. I was waiting, because I'd hoped to make a few more, but I'm running out of time and I figured I'd better get these up at least!

Three more violets

I managed to put together three more violets (total of 9). I really love these blocks and have my fingers crossed that I am lucky this month.

Some Violets for me

Here are my first three violets for this month. I have more cut out and will try to get them done up this week. Going to be a lovely quilt for whoever wins :)

Christa made three more

 Could not leave it alone. Had too much fun making them ... three more.

Now there are six.
