Newbie Introduction -Teesha's stars

Hi Everyone,

I'm a newbie to blocklotto and really enjoyed making these blocks. I love quilting and am really patience challenged, so these blocks are awsome for me!

Just a quick introduction- My name is Teesha and I run an online quilting fabric store called Craftwerx Studio with my hubby. We are pretty new started in March this year and we sell pre cut patchwork squares and stash packs of designer fabrics.

I would like to offer a 10% discount to all blocklottoites in my store www.craftwerxshop.com to claim the discount just message me before you pay and I will add it to your invoice.

I also have just started a blog www.craftwerxstudio.blogspot.com and there you will find my musings about quilting, free patterns, monthly competitions and give aways, plus follwers get a 10% discount in my store which added to your blocklotto dicount is 20% off.

I look forward to getting to know you all and making fun blocks each month, people here are so talented!

Cheers for now,
Teesha

2 more stars

I made 2 more stars as leaders/enders while I've been playing with my fabric... Haven't been motivated on any one project, so these stars have been pieced in between several other things.
Stars are so fun, though!!!

Animal Houses mailed

I got my two wonky animal houses mailed, the Lions Den and the Chicken Coop. Tamara, they are on their way!!

I Did One!


I felt pretty good today and managed to make a block. Other than the 2 wonky houses for September I haven't sewn any quilt blocks since July! And it showed in my work...I had to rip and re-sew a few seams, but finally ended up with a properly sized block. Maybe I'll do another tomorrow....

I had so much fun in my little basket of scraps!

I have really been stepping outside my usual star shaped box on these and just playing with angles.  I love them! Here are my first four.  I have enjoyed making them, I am sure there will be more to come.

on their way...

Tamara's blocks are on their way north....
