**********************************************
Hello Pals - Welcome to the LAST LOTTO of 2015!!! WOW has the time flown!! It has been a Grand Year and I know we will ALL end it with a lot of FESTIVE Christmas Colors!!

I LOVE Christmas Colors: Red, Green, Blue, Purple, Silver and Gold!
SEW this month ... make me a CHURN DASH Block using your favorite fabrics in these colors. Here is the Link we will be using ...
http://www.quilterscache.com/C/ChurnDas ... Block.html This block reminds me of Santa coming down the chimney

BLOCK: MUST be a 12.5"+ Unfinished. PLEASE MEASURE and FIX before you mail. Remember this is the place to practice first and then mail your best ones.
FABRIC BACKGROUND: The Lighter color: Your choice of fabric BUT ...
If your fabric has white in it please have the color be dominant. Like a color with a white Polka Dot for example.
FABRIC for INSIDE: The Darker color: I am going to let you use your instincts on Any Christmas Prints/Tone on Tones fabrics that have a nice contrast with the background and shares your joy of Christmas BUT PLEASE NO SOLIDS.
HERE ARE THE RULES TO FOLLOW:
* This is NOT a SWAP. It is a place to practice and enjoy making new or old blocks and luckily WIN enough to make a FABulous QUILT!!!!
If you are wanting to join in the Swaps and you are a newbie this is a great place to start. Practice and then send your best 12.5" blocks.
* Sign-ups let me know who wants to have FUN unless Emergencies get in the way. There is NO COMMITMENT here only the BEST OF INTENTIONS.
* COMMUNICATION is the Key. There is NO stupid question so please ask away and share how you are doing.
* PLEASE "Name Tag" each block to the FRONT TOP LEFT CORNER and Place ALL in a LARGE BAGGIE. Mailing labels are great for this

* SEND NO MONEY THIS MONTH - IT IS CHRISTMAS and the KITTY IS HAPPY!!!
WAYS to RECEIVE your WINNING tickets ...
* 1 ticket = Sign-up is a show of interest if time allows you
* 1 ticket = for each block
* 2 tickets = for each block after #4
* 1 tickets = if you share a Christmas Memory
ENJOY the FUN and anticipation of WINNING enough blocks for a quilt!!!
If I missed anything or my wording is confusing please let me know so I can change it. This is greatly appreciated
