A bird sings and my heart is lighter.

MARCH LOTTO BLOCK OF THE MONTH:


For those of you who are not familiar with our Lottery Block of the Month Program, here is how it works. Each month, Heart To Hand customers can participate in the block of the month lotto. For $2.75 you get the instructions and one a fat eight of the fabric of the month. BOM patterns that need to be mailed out will cost a TOTAL of $2.75. This includes shipping. Blocks must contain some of the fabric provided in the kit, along with other coordinating fabrics of your own personal choice. For the contest, attach a piece of paper with name and phone number and email on the back of your finished blocks. You can submit as many blocks as you want using the fabric in your kit. You are welcome to buy more than one kit and you may also buy some of the fabric of the month separately. For each block you submit your name will go on a ticket and you go into a drawing to win the blocks. The number of winners and the number of blocks won will be determined by the number of blocks finished and returned. PLEASE NOTE: Every month the blocks are DUE AT THE SHOP by the last day of the month. The on-line server will charge more shipping, but we will make the correction when we ship your order. Order your Block Kit here.
