October 2015 LOTTO - Fall Strips with Side Borders - PLEASE come take a look at Flo's Quilt!!!!

[FlorenceM]

I didn't intend to make 16. I started by making a pile of strips. Then I thought I had to put 4 blocks together to make 1...so I was aiming a 4 blocks, but I should know not to do math or read new directions when tired or stressed...

WOW Sounds like you both (and ALL) had great times making your blocks. Thanks for sharing your journeys with us. Definitely happy and learning times for us all.

Keep watch for November!!
You will need - -
* 6.5" Sewing Novelty Fabrics (How many will be determined by how many blocks you want to make - - - and
* 2 TOT coordinating Fall Colored Fabrics to go with it. Yes these can be prints but they need to be TINY Prints
YEA!!!!

Hope to post this Tonight with a Sample Block made by a very Special Pal

Fall Memory:

My favorite Fall Memories are of making Halloween costumes for my two young sons. There were many memorable ones, including coordinating pumpkins, batman and robin, and a pirate and his parrot

However, my absolute favorite costumes were the coordinating clown outfits for me, my husband and both of the boys. They were made of white fabric with red dots, white fabric with blue dots, red fabric with white dots, and blue fabric with white dots. I was the only one willing to wear the clown make-up, but even so we made a nice clown family.

Come to think of it, I think I still have those costumes, and my younger son has two children. Maybe they would like to be a clown family this Halloween!!!

Forgive me! I didn't get them in the mail on Monday. Was thinking I could finish 2 more blocks I had started. Got sick on Tuesday. Took them to work with me on Wed and completely forgot to go to the PO while at work so I went after work and dropped them at the kiosk inside PO. It says they should arrive on Saturday.

I finished 6 blocks. These were fun to make.

[MsSewNSew]

Wow. I dropped them off at 10:00 Wed night. I didn't think they would get there on Friday. So glad...I hate being late but usually I'm flying by the seat of my pants.

Halloween decorations are being put up. Pumpkins were gutted this morning. Need to finish carving them. Candy is ready to go.

Gotta go. I'm needed elsewhere. Good Luck to everyone!
