Welcome to the May Lotto Mel and Jana -
One of the JOYS of the Lotto is that you have ALL month to make your blocks and have them to me by May 31. That means you have more than 31 days! PLENTY of TIME!!!!! WooHoo!!! You don't have to make a decision now. Letting me knows just gives me an idea of who is hoping to be in for the month.

Let me know if any of you need the instructions. I can email them to you. I was thinking the video was enough for you to make the blocks. I should watch it again :) :)

I am thinking about this though I don't have the Egg Money book and therefore don't have the templates for the leaves. Will any leaves do?

We are just making the peony block, right? We aren't making 3 and putting them together with the stems and leaves, are we? I guess I am just a little confused this month. Nothing knew I guess. Val threw me for a loop when she said she didn't have the template for the leaves.

Just let me know for sure what we are making. I won't be starting on mine until I return from Paducah, so no big hurry.

Hmmmm, I'm thinking that we do sew three peonies, stems, and leaves for a total of 4 squares that make up a 12 1/2" block.

We'll miss you Jacquie, but you will be having a blast with the wedding, etc! Can't wait to see pics.

Welcome to the FUN Mary. Glad to have you join us :)
Will send you the info you need.

Jacquie - You will be missed but we know you have lots to do to get ready for the JOYOUS DAY of the Wedding!!!

Mel - You got it - Thanks :)

In the video you will be making the block that Eleanor is teaching you to make with the 3 small block flowers with stem and the leaves. This block measures 12.5" unfinished.

**If you don't have the template she uses for the leaves then "Let your creative side show and make some of your own" :)

** If you don't have the template she uses for the placement of the stems ... she gives you the general placement and the cutting measurements of them in the video. You can either sew them down the way she does or pin them and do a (not to small) blind stitch like a binding or a blanket stitch - Your choice.

feel free to mix up the colors of the peony flowers in each block. You don't have to make them all the same.
3 different colors in one block? WOOHOO - Let your creative side POP!!!

We have done some appliqueing with the hearts and made the flying geese last month so I have no doubts that you will ALL be making some lovely COLORFUL Peony blocks.

Thanks Mel and Teresa. I guess I was having a DUH moment. I haven't pulled the book out yet. I guess I should have done that first before asking. Oh well. I think I will add "fabric for my peony blocks" to my shopping list, along with the fabric I need for June.
