June already???

GGGeeee Whiz! Already June... and the rain just stopped... and it is finally over 40 degrees at night? No wonder I'm confused! Thought I'd better get on these 3-patch blocks quickly or I'd be "bumped" from the Block Lotto Club. Here are two, Sophie. Perhaps more later, but the garden needs to be planted RIGHT NOW.

Cheers, All.

Clovers all here!!!

I now have all of my clover blocks, thanks Sophie!!!! Now to figure out how I'm going to use them.

blocks received

I received blocks from Ginny, Pokey, and Laura and they are gorgeous, thanks!

Blocks Received

I know I've said it before...but I HAVE to say it again!  I am so lucky to have won these wonderful Pineapple Blossom blocks!  I received six more today.  And our lotto friends are so clever and interesting!

My blocks from Pokey in CA came in a fun, colorfully decorated, bright envelope. Pink, blue, yellow, green paper patches on the envelope and little notes like smiley faces and "Congratulations!" written on the envelope. My husband loved the "Congratulations!" written there.

And from Diana in Northhampton England, I got a delightful notecard that features a quilt that was made by her quilt group and traded with Northhampton Australia. She did say that they  made two of those quilts, one to trade and one to keep. The blockwork shows part of their history. Very interesting!


What I've received so far.

I've not been very creative in sending my blocks...I just send them but now I'm going to try to think of cute things to do differently.


Again...I am so LUCKY!     Toni

Clovers sent, finally

I had hoped these would be out to Kim this past week, however, a sudden illness and unexpected hospital visit kept me away from the PO. Hubs has sent them off.
Hope you enjoy them Kim! These were fun blocks!
Congrats!!!!!!

My clover set is complete

I received my clover blocks from Sophie yesterday, and I think I forgot to mention my blocks from Heather arrived a week or two ago as well. Thank you so much, ladies, and I'm looking forward to playing with different arrangements!

More Pineapple Blocks have arrived

Three more fun-filled squishies arrived in the mail yesterday.  There were blocks from Tina (RI), Mary C (WA), and Barbara (FL).  Thank you for the beautiful blocks!

Clover here

All of my modern clover blocks have found their way to Missouri.   They all look great, and now  I'm going to have to think on how I want to put them together.  Thank you ladies

Troublesome 3 Patch

 


For such a simple block this sure has caused me problems. I had my nine made almost immediately I received the sneak peak. After looking at them for awhile I decided some of my purples were too red so set about changing them. Then I realised that I had used the same combination of fabrics in some blocks. Now that they are all complete I have been having trouble photographing them. One of the purples which I really like is photographing as blue and some of the paler greens are photographing as cream - I give up. I have tried them on a light and a dark background.

On a brighter note I posted my pineapple blocks to Kathy, Diana andSandi last wednesday so you should have them by the middle of the week.
