And the winners are... Drumroll Please...

Ok, just got back from the random number puller thingie, sorry I was so late, I ended up having to go to "Open House" and it lasted a bit longer than I thought it would ANYWHO back to the main event....... and the BIG winner is MARY JANE!! Followed by... CAROLINE!! And last but not least LISA!! Congrats winners!!

Ladies, Cross Your Fingers . . .

I've sent the list for the drawing to Chris.

If you have a lucky charm, a rabbit's foot or other ritual for luck, now is the time.

If you are a newbie this month or someone who has been playing along for a long time, but not yet won–yes Mary Jane, I am looking in your direction, then thanks to Julie, you have an extra chance in the drawing.

If you are a brand new mother, then Kathy has thrown some chances your way . . .

We have a total of 152 blocks this month, which means:

Winner #1 will receive a set of 56 blocks
Winners #2 & 3 will receive a set of 48 blocks (each)

Wow, talk about a lot of blocks in the last week . . .

My 4 Blocks

Loved This Block

no more blocks from me...

I was hoping to sew one more block for the lotto but half way through I realised that I had sewn it the wrong way (starting with warm colours instead of cold ones) so there won't be any more blocks from me. 141 blocks is huge I think and I will keep my fingers cross for this month draw as the blocks really look nice on all the pictures which have been shared.

Another entry into the lotto...

Here are my 7 blocks. Funny, I got them done the first week of August but neglected to get a picture posted! I am really hoping to win this one- I just love all the beautiful blocks this month!

Timing and Deadlines for Tomorrow's Drawing

We were just advised of JUST HOW PROHIBITIVE the guidelines for surfing at work really are (and the plans for scanning our PCs for our email and surfing habits), so . . . until my work hours become more LOTTO-Friendly, the deadlines will have to look like this:

Deadline for submitting blocks: 5PM Central Time on the last day of the month

Which means for August, our deadline will be MONDAY, 5PM Central Daylight Time.

I will send the list of names to Chris (our July winner) to use for the random number picker to choose our THREE WINNERS as soon as I get home–probably no later than 6 PM (Dallas Time).

There have been some great bright little log cabin blocks this month . . . I know we're going to have three happy winners ;-)

(It's not too late to enter if you can sew fast ;-)

I wanted to make three more, but will have my grandson tomorrow, so no time to finish my set. Here are six to make it to three winners. Forgive my ironing job...the old girl just doesn't get as hot as she use to.

August 09 block lotto

Here's 4 little log cabins from cool Colorado. Shaping up to be a great lotto, but I would like to donate mine to Lisa and her new little gal. Kathy in Colo

Ginny's August blocks

Here are four very bright blocks from me! As usual, they look better in life than they do in the photo!

Gail B's Log Cabin Blocks

Gail B emailed me last night with a photo of these 6 log cabin blocks.


Our new total-so-far this month is 127 log cabin blocks. I'm beginning to think that we MIGHT make it to enough for three winners in time for tomorrow night's drawing . . . at this point, we need five more blocks.

By the way, our July winner, Chris, will be doing the honors and (randomly) picking the winners this month . . . just in case you want to send some good vibes her way.

Joan' s 9 August Blocks!!

This was so much FUN! I was able to complete 9 blocks and had fun going thru my stash to finish these. Hope whomever wins enjoys them as much as I had making them!

Boomers...

Just got back from the mail box, recieved some boomers from Marie! I think thats everyone! Thank you all for such lovely blocks!

Christine

Welcome Back Kelly

Kelly–who you might remember as Mingtoy52 from the forum, if you've been around for a while–emailed me today with this photo of 5 beautiful log cabin blocks.

Welcome back, Kelly!

I've added them to the list making our total-so-far this month 112. Will we make it to three winners . . . I think we might, I think we might, I think we might . . .
