APRIL LOTTO Its Raining Cats and Dogs - The WINNER is ...

Post by TeresaK » Tue Mar 30, 2021 2:37 am

THANK YOU KATY AND JACQUIE for stitching and sending some sweet playful Cats and Dogs.
My neighbor picked the WINNER and it turned out to be Me. They will make a very FUN quilt for a sweet little girl whose birthday is coming up in June. Hoping with help I can get it finished.
Thank you again. I will show pictures soon.

**********************************************************************
We are UP and RUNNING!!!!! Welcome everyone to the APRIL Lotto Month!!!! I know of a phrase that says "April Showers bring May Flowers" and then Maryq reminded me of the phrase "It's Raining Cats and Dogs" which brings us to the PERFECT Month to Stitch some Cat's and Dogs!!!!!
BLOCKS: Cats and Dogs:

SIZE:
12.5sq: Cat, Dog
6.5"sq: A mini block of a Dog, Cat and/or Flower or a Butterfly 🦋

TYPE: Appliqued or Pieced: Please make sure you use at least 3/4 of the block size
Dog is stitched together from 7 HST's of Dog and Bkgd fab + a 4.5"sq of Dog and Bkgd fabric
Cat is 6.5" Sq of Bkgd; 6.5 x 12.75" of Cat Fab for the bottom;
3"sq added to the left top corner, sewn diag.
Top right is a 3.75" x 6.5" rectangle
Top is a 3.75 x 6.5" rectangle Bkgd fabric with 3"sq's of cat Fab sewn to look like FG. Trim 1/4" off point

FABRICS: SPRINGTIME (the background for my dogs are yarn, sewing notions, flowers. Think of what you LOVE to do with your Cats and Dogs - ENDLESS Possibilities! * Yes, feel free to add a flower next to your Dog or Cat.
*Yes you can make a 2 sided 2" Window Seat. PURRect for a 10" Pieced Cat

NO WHITE or BLACK or DARK colorsI would like to see Cheer, Sunshine and FUN.

SEW - - -
* I am looking for LOTS OF SPRINGTIME COLORS and VARIETY of Fabrics
* Something Easy and Fun!!!

This first picture shows the Dogs and Cat that I have made (cat missing a corner on the right side of body). I need to switch the fabrics for my cat. You will want to choose a fabric where the eyes the WINNERs add will be seen. Silly me - LOL!

MAILING - - - - Please PM me if you DO NOT have my ADDRESS
* Attach your name label to the upper FRONT corner of EACH block pinned or stitched on the corner.
* Send ALL blocks in one baggie
* Mail blocks with a TRACKING # as soon as possible.
* For every month could you please send $2-3 to help send the WINNING Blocks. Your judgement call on how much depend on how many blocks you make and how much you want to WIN :) :)

WAYS TO EARN TICKETS - - - - -
* 1 ticket = Sign-up anytime to show your interest
* 1 ticket = for each set of blocks you send
* 1 ticket = if your NAME is on the FRONT top corner of the block or the set of blocks
* 1 ticket = if you have added money to your bag. (Please remember to do this as Kitty is very LOW)
* 2 tickets = You make 4 or more blocks.


TeresaK - Teresa ... 3 Dogs; 1 Cat - - - so far

Thank you Jacquie for joining us this month. I am eager to see what FUN fabrics you use for the backing and a great coordinating fabric for the Cat/dog.

Heard from Katy. She be be making a few blocks when time permits as well.

Hoping more will come and join us in stitching up a great Dog/Cat Pattern. 2 very Easy blocks

Jacque I ❤️ THEM!!!
I sure do hope they will get some company soon. I know so many are making the Sew-a-long blocks worth Mary and Katy so really not sure what will happen. I thought I pick easy ones to make. Hmmm
Guess I need to rethink May.

Thanks again!!! You are the best across the Pond!!!!!
