Hello All!!! Can you BELIEVE IT??? IT IS JULY and time for our ANNUAL “CHRISTMAS IN JULY” LOTTO BLOCK PARTY!!!! The theme: "What are your Hopes and Dreams for Christmas".
Quilter's Choice of Block(s) and Fabrics that portray what you Hope or Dream. ie Candycane houses, Friends, Joy, Gingerbread, Music, Colorful lights on 666i=["Christmas trees, wreaths, etc...
One of my hopes this year is to continue to make new friends. This block reminds me of the Double Friendship block.
Any Inspirational Words on Fabric are totally acceptable and even encouraged this year
* This is NOT a SWAP. It is a place to find new or old block(s), pick some Christmas Fabrics. Stitch them and send them to me to Receive tickets and possibly WIN enough to make a CHRISTMAS QUILT!!!!
* Sign-ups let me know who wants to have FUN unless Emergencies get in the way. COMMUNICATION is the Key, Please
* “Quilter’s Choice of Many Different” Blocks (looking for lots of variety)
* Block size: 12.5"+ unfinished blocks - THIS IS A MUST!!!This is a learning place to enjoy while still following the instructions of your pattern.
* PLEASE MEASURE to Check that your BLOCK(s) are 12.5"+. DO NOT SQUARE
* Please TEST your fabrics to check for bleeding.
* Fabrics: Joyous Christmas Print's and TOT's
* NO SOLIDS
* Very Light Metallics are OK BUT No GLITTER Please
* NOVELTY is PERFECT especially for Fussy cut's
* If you use a fabric like Stripes/Checks please line up the ruler on the line of the Pattern to keep it straight.
* PLEASE "Name Tag" each block in the front TOP corner and Place ALL in a LARGE BAGGIE. Mailing labels are great for this
**** SEND NO MONEY - This month is ALWAYS A FREEBIE - MERRY CHRISTMAS from the COTTON KITTY that purrs from the generosity of it's Pals!!!
WAYS to RECEIVE your WINNING tickets ...
* 1 ticket = Signups by 4th of JULY
* 1 ticket = for each block
* 2 tickets = for each block after #3

WAYS to RECEIVE EXTRA CHRISTMAS TICKETS
