Broken dishes & catch-up

I am so far behind on Block Lotto.  How far behind? 

Well, I would like to thank Andi in AZ, Belinda in TX, Cathi in Clare, Deana in UT, Jennifer in CA, & Shelley in ME for your August lotto blocks.  Yes August.  They all arrived ages ago but my kitchen was in boxes & then came out of boxes & then when two of the three new appliances FAILED & had to be replaced, a lot of things had to go back into boxes...well, it was a shambles.  I am sorry to take so long; your envelopes were among the things that had to be boxed so the repairman had room to...perform (work seems the wrong word somehow since he never fixed anything & actually broke other things while he was here).  All the violets are so wonderful & I cannot say thank you thank you thank you enough.

In other late, but not so late news my rails were mailed.  They were mailed so long ago they have probably been received.  Reading Block Lotto is a luxury & I have not had much time for that lately.  My choice yesterday was read Block Lotto or make the current block(s).

& so finally all caught up & here they are:  my October 2011 sampler blocks.  They are variations on the traditional block "broken dishes".  It seemed appropriate somehow.  Also I just love this block & used this same color scheme to make a broken dishes quilt for my step-father years (OMG it has been years!) ago.

These three are all to donate; I am still making offerings to the Block lotto Gods for my two wins this year.

Corinne S. your blcoks are on the way to your house....sure hope you  like them.

I was going to join in on the lotto this month but after 3 days of trying to get one block completed (try as I might)....I failed to do so, the measurements just wasnt' adding up so...I tossed it away and I will wait to see what happens next month. Thank you Sophie for having such a fun blog for all of us sewing addicts LoL

5 October Blocks and Blocks Mailed

I mailed my three blocks to you, Gwen, on Oct 7th.  You should be receiving them any day now.

Here are my 5 blocks for this month.  I really enjoyed researching and deciding which blocks to sew. I am  keeping my fingers crossed. I sure hope to win this month.  Our home has lots of blues and browns.

I mailed my blocks to Cindy, Corinne and Andrew yesterday. It should take about one week from the UK to cross the Atlantic.

October - Sept.blocks mailed!

I realized after the fact, that when I posted my October blocks, I should have also mentioned that I mailed out my Sept. blocks to Janet.  I did!  The day after Sophie sent us the list of what goes where.  Hope that you have rec'd by now,... or almost!    :) 

Sept blocks mailed!

Going out today to Wilma, Janet S, and Corrine. Sorry for the delay!

Rails mailed to Corinne

Sent my blocks off today.  I was so rushed package them up that I didn't include a note or anything, just three fabric squares in an envelope (but I did put my name on the back), so I hope they arrive okay and congratulations on winning.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to make an October block in the next week or two.

Curved Rail Blocks Mailed!

My blocks are on their way to Cyndi, Gwen, & Janet.  Have fun!  :)  Marie J.

more violets received & curved rails posted

I have received more sets of violets - only two more to arrive, then I can play with some layouts ;-)

My curved rails will be in the post tomorrow. 

EDITED:   My curved rails are now posted - it took me a while to get into the Post Office.

and heading to Kina
from Ella!

curved rails mailed

Curved Rail blocks were mailed out to Kina in MN, Michelle in OK, and
Wilma in NC. They were mailed on the 3rd of October so I hope you
receive them soon. This is the second try to post this as I was hit
with the e-mail gotcha. Congratulations to all the winners, you have
some pretty colours to play with. We should see some bright cheerful
quilts from all the blocks.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who is enjoying the holiday weekend, we
all have so much to be thankful for. Among other things we are blessed
to have Sophie to solve the block lotto glitches we come across from
time to time. Thanks Sophie!
