Quilt in a Day Forums

We had a great month. Few pals but absolutely festive Christmas Blocks were made and sent. I am thrilled with being the hostess this month. I know some wonderful quilts will be made to be LOVED and HUGGED

I know you all have more Christmas Blocks in your stash or easy to make Blocks from your fabrics so I decided to choose 3 Winners - Yea!!!!! They are ....

LORI - KATY - TERESA

THANK YOU ALL FOR A VERY MERRY MONTH!!!! ENJOY
************************************************
Hello All!!! Mary has given me the green light to enjoy our ANNUAL “CHRISTMAS IN JULY” LOTTO BLOCK PARTY!!!! Can you BELIEVE IT??? IT IS JULY already - WOW!!!!!
* 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
* Block size: A variety of sizes that equal a 12.5" Block. Your choice. An assortment would really be DELIGHTFUL!!!! The More the Merrier
(1)12.5"+; (2)6.5" x 12.5"; (4)6.5" unfinished blocks. Keep separate.
* DO NOT SEND ME A BLOCK that is NOT the RIGHT SIZE, Please
This is a learning place to enjoy sewing a block, new or old, while still following the instructions of your pattern. Here is an assortment of Christmas Blocks I made extra from Years past. Dissapearing 4-Patch and Mixed 12.5" blocks. I have no idea why they are so small.



* Fabrics: Joyous Christmas Print's and TOT's. Candy Cane, Houses, Aprons, Friends, Joy, Gingerbread, Music, Colorful lights on Christmas trees, Wreaths, Inspirational Words, etc... The list is endless!!!!!
* Please TEST your fabrics to check for bleeding. A MUST!
* 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.

BEFORE MAILING - - -
* PLEASE MEASURE to Check that your BLOCK(s) ARE the correct sizes.
* DO NOT SQUARE
* PLEASE "Name Tag" each block in the front TOP corner and Place ALL in a LARGE BAGGIE. Mailing labels are great for this
* Please send $$ Money to help send to the winners. PayPal is OK. Free to Friends and Family
********* YES I am a stickler for Tracking #'s. THANK YOU!

Hi Katy. It is the time for miracles so grab some festive fabrics, some great music or Christmas movies on Hallmark and quilt away!!!!!

I have to focus on my swap blocks but hopefully their will be time left. I found some really cute patterns

I got one 12 inch one done Yippee Not July yet
And Christmas in July starts today on QVC LOL

Teresa with Dad sick I think I will have to drop out. My time will just not be there. I am expecting him to be at the nursing home at least a month

OK.....here goes with my first post!

Teresa....if you haven't already received my blocks, then you should get them Monday or Tuesday. Some are over sized and can be cut down. Some are under sized and can have a border/edge added to make larger.
