I have to start by reminding all readers that this is STRICTLY FOR OUR GUILD MEMBERS AND LOCAL PFAFF MACHINE OWNERS ONLY.
We had our second quarterly guild meeting on Saturday, 14 May 2011 and until I get my hands on the photos taken there I can tell you about this term’s block for PFAFF’s BLOCK LOTTO. You have to make a block according to the rules, pay a small fee (towards the festival) and stand a chance to win all the blocks made – just like the national lottery, we just play it with blocks!!
Every term (in our newsletter and on our blog) PFAFF will give us the instructions to a new block.
If you need a full size pattern, go down to PFAFF and buy a pattern for R5,00 – in some cases (such as this term’s block) however you will only need instructions and then you’ll pay for every completed block you enter.
If you only bought one pattern but made several blocks you’ll have to pay entry fee for every block you hand in.
You do need to use at least ONE PFAFF fabric in your block, so while there buy yourself a fat quarter if you cannot remember which of your stash was bought from PFAFF.
The deadline for the term’s block is the DAY BEFORE (17 August 2011) our next quarterly meeting. NO BLOCKS will be accepted at the meeting. Your name is then added to those who stand a chance to be the lucky winner.
The draw will be done during our next quarterly meeting.
This term we simply join skew strips alternating all your pink and purple remnants (remember to have at least ONE PFAFF fabric). Square your block down to 8½” x 10½”.
Add 1½” x 10½” tan strips to the 10½” side; to have your finished block 10½” x 10½”
←1½” x 10½” strips added to finish
block at 10½” x 10½”
Even though I did not win last term's Block Lotto I will keep the faith and enter yet again.
