Hi Newbie Gail!!!! YEA!!! Great to hear from you and that you enjoyed making the blocks this month. Great picture also. Glad you were able to post the picture. Thrilled with your color choices as I made my blocks yesterday and almost changed them. Glad I didn't as I see the colors in yours are some of the ones in mine. Thanks!!!!

I sent you the mailing info in a PM. I will keep my eye out for the package and let you know when they get here.

Oh, My! Teresa, I didn't know we were to post our poem. I thought
it was just suppose to be sent with the blocks. LOL

Here is my attempt at poetry. At least it might brighten your day.

My Popsicle Sticks

Popsicles here, popsicles there, popsicles everywhere.
Some bright and sunny
Some are funky and funny
There is green and tan and blue
Pink with stripes and flowers just to name a few.

I know I am so late.
‘Cause I couldn’t commit on the date.
I finally decided to try it and not quit.
But was not prepared for this FIT!

I struggled so hard with my quarter inch seams.
Tore some seams out to resew – Did you hear my screams?
Measured and pressed and measured some more
Wow, I didn’t expect it to be such a chore!

Finally I finished!!! Two sets, I see.
Coming to you from this crazy “Newbie”
I am sure not a poet, as you can see
But I can always wish and hope that you will pick ME!
QuiltGram8 – Velda . . . yeah that’s ME!

Hi, QuiltGram8

I like your poem. Very cute.


POPSICLE, popsicle
they all are so cool,
my mouth just wants to drool.
But wait these are not to eat,
they are to forever keep - You warm!
