 Daughter and I made silk roses for her wedding bouquet.  The basic part of the bouquet was mine from my wedding 30 years ago.  She cleaned it up, removed some of the flowers and added 5 big teal silk roses.  We were both very happy with it.
 The 2 blocks below are the ones that I made for Block Lotto.  I actually won a set of the made blocks.  The only ones that I won in about the 3 years or so that I took part in making blocks.  I didn't manage to make all the blocks but did a lot.
Unfortunately Sophie can't run the group anymore and it looks like the game has come to an end.  I have enjoyed my time making blocks for it.  Thank you Sophie for all the years that you ran this group. Thank you to Cathy and Nann for continuing to group for the final time that Sophie was not able to do so.  I was thinking that maybe a Facebook group would work but then we would need someone to run it.  I took over running a Fat Quarter lotto group for a while on a Canada site but it was a little more costly. I do like the way that the block lotto was run but now the expense.  A free forum  would be a possibly maybe if someone wanted to take it on.  Not sure when the actual site will close.

  1. Hi Carol! I didn’t realize you’d only one the Block Lotto once. Sometimes random number generators play favorites. Anyway, I loved those Twin Sisters blocks you won and will be doing them for the Rainbow Scrap challenge this year. Your daughter’s bouquet is lovely; what a clever and memorable idea to use yours as the base.!
