computer needs a PANIC button

I finally finished these 9 barely in time to get them in and then couldn't get a connection this morning to post them - YIKES!


Had a worried moment there.... 

Posts earlier this month got me hooked on the idea of seeing how long it takes to do various quilting/sewing tasks.  What fun to discover there's a stopwatch feature on my cell phone!  I now know it takes under just 45 min to make a pair of shorts for a 12 y/o granddaughter from cutting-them-out to ready-to-wear.

I finally got my blocks done!  I really meant to do these much earlier in the month, but the month has kind of evaporated on me somehow.  And then I had jury duty today and almost forgot to post these!  But I've now made 9 blocks.  Very easy and fun!  These are my favorite colors, so my fingers are crossed!

3 Patch Completed!

My 6 blocks are completed. I found this an interesting block. I really dug through my stash to get the 'perfect' combinations of green, blue and purple.

six donated blocks

I apologise for being missing in action for the last few months, but I have finally surfaced with six blocks that I hope will pass scrutiny. 

We travelled to Holland (from England) and back last weekend, which involved 7 hours each way on a ferry, so I cut the blocks before I left and had a very enjoyable trip hand stitching them.  I hope that my hand stitching is OK to enter.

Just in time

Hi Everyone, I'm Pat.  I've been admiring all the blocks on Block Lotto for a while now and have finally got round to joining in.  Here are my blocks, 3 to enter and 3 to donate.  I have stitched all of my life and enjoy embroidery, quilting and doll making.  I have a blog http://patashton-smith.blogspot.com/  and webpage http://www.patashton-smith.co.uk/ where I share bits and pieces to do with my stitching and any textile related things I think might interest others.  I'm looking forward to joining in the monthly challenge and getting to know you all.

A Couple of Blocks

I was really going to make lots of these this month.  But, my stash is sorely in need of more variation in these colors, especially blue.  So, I'll donate these two blocks this month.

June blocks


Here's 6 for June and since I won last month I'll donate my chances this month. Good luck everyone. Can't wait to see what everyone will do with these.

Also, I received my last Pineapple Blossoms from Debbie, so I have a full set and they are all wonderful.

3 patch from LPB (6 to donate to newbie)

Barely getting these in under the wire.  Finished them early - but husband had a negative health event and has been in hospital.  Purple and green are MY COLORS so I had hundreds of colors for these.  Just grabbed the first ones I could get my hands on -- but since I already have MANY purple and green quilts I'm donating my chances to the latest newbie to join the ranks (whomever that may be!)  Blessings!

I Sewed Up 9

Here we go.......... I sure hope I did them right. Wow, how easy peasy were these to do??!!!!

Love the cool colors


I love the cool colors in this month's block. Six is going to be my limit this month. I found I didn't have much of the purple family in my stash, so now I know what I need to buy. Thanks for making this an easy sewing month - nothing that needed to be matched or pinned. Kathie L in Allentown

June blocks from CathyC

I missed out on making the Block Lotto Blocks for May, but promised myself to make some for June.

The blocks for June are super easy to make, but took a while to get the right colour combinations ;-)

Here are my first 4 blocks.

These last two are not unique, but will be thrown in.


So that makes it 4 blocks for me - I am hoping to get some more done soon.

Carrie's June Blocks

Well, I have three for this month's lotto. Love the way these colors look together and very easy to sew up!



Pretty summer colors - thx Sophie!

Two for me

Here are my two blocks for this month.  I hope the colours are right.  I only did two because I didn't have that many fabric choices in the colour range that went well together.
I'll donate my chances this month.  Thanks

Dianah's Blocks

Dianah asked me to post her blocks because she expects to be busy this summer and may not make more for a while, so didn't need author privileges.


In her email to me, she said, " I don't know when I will make Lotto blocks again. I fell in love with these and they were so easy!"

Good luck with your move, Dianah!

June 3 patch

Here are my 9 for the June Lotto. I work on the "bright" side. These were fun, once I figured out that I needed one of each of the colors.
