Blocks received - possibly lost and found

I got another set of blocks on the weekend from Tina - great blocks, thanks, happy to be a recipient in your first month!

I also noticed that although I have received blocks from Marie, Pat and Cathy C, this is not showing on the blog. I am almost completely positive I posted about these on Thursday (I moved the blocks from my computer table and threw the envelopes away - something I don't usually do until I've acknowledged the blocks) so I'm guessing it got lost in the blogger hoo-ha. There is a small chance I simply didn't blog them, but I'm almost totally sure I did.

Anyway - thanks to those ladies as well - your blocks are here safe and sound. Only waiting on 4 or 5 more now (ok, 5 - just checked).

[Edited to say: Aha! Just found a note next to my computer about those three sets of blocks - I remember what happened now - I tried to blog a thank you and the site was down for a while, so I left myself a note to do it later. This totally explains why I remember taking the blocks out of their envies and putting them upstairs but don't remember actually typing the message - seems I'm not losing my mind after all - or at least, if I am, this isn't a sign of it...]

Lost & Found Blog Posts (and comments)

I believe that all the posts and comments that went missing on this blog (and many, many others) between Wednesday and Friday last week have been restored and everyone who posted blocks have had their chances added to the list in the side bar.

This might be a good place to post a couple of urls to check if you have blogging problems:


http://status.blogger.com/
http://buzz.blogger.com/

If you read backward on Blogger Status, you can see that on Monday they announced that they planned to resolve some maintenance issues on Wednesday and expected blogs to be read only for about an hour . . . it seems that things didn't go exactly as planned and it took a couple days to recover everything.

If you posted messages during the problem window (Wednesday through Friday) and it hasn't appeared on the blog, please let me know.

one pathetic block

I'm just not feeling the love this month, so I might stop at one block -- just enough to qualify for the sneak peek! I have pieces cut for a few more but I'm not making any promises...

More blocks received from...

This week I received blocks from Andra and Karen, both of whom also included wonderful postcards. Thanks, ladies (I collect postcards so they were especially appreciated)!

May blocks



Having only just discovered Block Lotto, I could not wait to join, and made nine blocks.

I love the block and intend to make some more, hopefully to add to any I might win!

May 12th clovers arrived from Kasey (4 clovers) in IN, and from Pat (3 clovers) in MI. Today, May 13 clovers arrived from Barbara B (3 clovers) in FL and from Marybeth (3 clovers) in FL. All very nice blocks, thank you. 4 more packets to come to complete the set. They will make a very pretty quilt. Coralie in Canada

Better late than never! Sorry for the delay, Maree and Wilma. Enjoy and make something pretty:)

clovers received

Today there were packets in the mail from Kim G in Hong Kong (3 clovers), Tina C in Rhode Island (3 clovers), Cheryl S in Champaign, Il (3 clovers), Kate N in New Malden, UK (2 clovers). I love all of the beautiful blocks, and I really love the different fabrics. It is so wonderful to receive packets from all corners of the world. Thank you so much.
I am sorry that I posted twice yesterday regarding Ellie's packet, I looked on the blog and didn't see the first post and so I posted another.
