Hi there,

There is no Lucky free block this month but he will be back for July!  Between writing my upcoming book, stitching the “Cozy Christmas” block of month AND preparing to vend and give a demo at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in mid-June, have run out of time.  I’ve actually fallen asleep while stitching twice in past couple of weeks. 

Thanks for understanding!

Lynn
