Hello Everyone. WELCOME to our Beginning of the Holiday's Lotto. We are now into our Fall, Christmas and Winter journey of the Lotto!!!! I am EXCITED!!!! We have some great suggestions that will be fun for all to stitch together. Sew lets get our bobbins moving along.

BLOCK: 10in Log Cabin with a 6.5" sq to start

Here is another idea for a center. Not sure of the measurements yet but will figure it out. El has got to have them somewhere. I know I have made one.


BEGIN with a 6.5" block that can be Pieced or Applique (blanket stitch) and then ADD 2.5" Strips. Cut the last 2 strips an 1/8" over 2.5" so that the WINNERs will be able to Sq to 10.5"

FABRICS and COLORS: Use GOLD's for the cornerstones of the leaf block, please. FALL ToT's or Prints of brilliant Hues of Colors. Greens, Yellows, Purples, Reds, Oranges. PLEASE No Dark colors or SOLIDS

BACKGROUND: Tans of all shades with Small Prints or Tone on Tones.

Nice block, but don't have any fall fabrics on hand. I won't commit yet. I will no doubt get to a store after Oct 10. ( That's the day we end quarantine). I will keep you posted.

[TeresaK]

Great news Flo. Happy to have you joining us.

hey that’s a great word Val. A little stumble of the tongue. Think I will keep it for giggles.

Velda. Quarantined. Hmmm not up to speed on reading. Hope all is well. Always a sweet reason to go shopping for beautiful colors. I remember the picture you shared with me a long time ago. Stunning Fall colors.

[WeSignificant]

PLEASE No Darkhark colors or SOLIDS?
Please what does this mean?

[TeresaK]

Sorry Val - thought you were giggling at my goof. It is No Dark or Solid Colors.

[MaryGoRound]

I don’t think I have much in the way of fall fabrics. I’ll take a look.

So, that 6.5 inch starting block can be anything??

MaryGo

[WeSignificant]

Teresa, would I giggle at your goof? Of course I would! I will see what I can find. After setting up my sewing room I realize, I have no fall fabrics in the house. They must be out in the shed.

[TeresaK]

Morning MaryGo. Yes the 6.5” can be any pattern. Hope you find enough to join us.

Teehee Val. I can only imagine what your shed has in it. I keep asking Rob for a storage shed as the garage is his but nope. Hope you also find enough to join us.

Happy hunting and stitching
