<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is 32 blocks, there are enough blocks for two quilts of 99 blocks each. The editing of the picture is not very good, rather faded out BUT its the best I could do using my RV site for a design wall. I was worried the darker colored strips would be too dark but I can see they will be fine! I also finished the four patches for a Bricks and Stepping Stones quilt--</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its has a lovely lime green bucket of concrete for a base. Many mailboxes here are done this way. If a snowplow hits it in the winter it falls over or moves out of the way. The green bucket helps with visibility in snow. And--I love green! Thank you DH Ken for helping with the new mailbox. He thought it was so nice he wanted to take it home to replace our mailbox there--the one he <i><b>wired</b></i> to the arm! Yes, a snowplow hit it this winter. Probably another mailbox project in the future. </span><br />

The grandsons and their parents were camping near us. On Saturday it rained just in time for supper so there were four adults, three little boys, and a kitten in our camper. Three little boys covered up in our bed to watch a movie. I forgot to check their feet, Max still had his shoes on. Oh, what's a little mud! When Ken and I pulled the sheets to wash them we found an Oreo. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">On Sunday we all had breakfast brunch together at a local restraurant and then everyone came back to our camper. Great Grandpa Marvin entertained the boys with a story that started "when I was your age we lived in a house like this and we had two dogs....." He was drawing pictures of the house and the dogs etc as he talked.</span><br />

I've had wrens nest in it, bluebirds in 2016, and bluebirds this year. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I changed the plans a little. I used a screw on end cap for the top and drilled a hole to put an eye bolt through. A piece of plywood for a roof--I just drilled a hole in that too. I left it white to reflect heat. I glued wooden clothespins inside to help the birds climb out when they fledge. There are ventilation holes drilled near the top, and drainage holes at the bottom. The hole is the recommended size for bluebirds. When checking nests you can put your hand over the exit holes (to prevent premature fledging) and unscrew the top and look in. No post required, its out of the reach of most predators (eye height on me) and hung from a tree branch. Bluebirds like to be on the edge of the woods overlooking meadows and open areas. Its a pretty maintenance free bird house. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are four bluebirds in this nest, I think two males and two females. If you look very carefully the males are starting to get blue feathers. This <a href="http://www.sialis.org/runt.htm">site</a> has great pictures as to stage of development and whether they are male or female. I think there are two males and two females. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My campsite has lots of birds--bluebirds, cardinals, orioles, purple and goldfinches, blue jays, red head and downy/hairy woodpeckers, cowbirds, catbirds, and many many more. Unfortunately I have lots of raccoons and may have to declare war on them. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Four Tops were made by Liz in Houston--she sent them to me to quilt and bind. She's a prolific quilter and loves to work with MAM or crumb blocks. Her Art Quilt looks like broken pieces of film to me. Thank you Liz!!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Three were made by me. The Star Quilt has been waiting to find a home, and I finished the Bricks and Stepping Stones and Pieces of Eight recently. These finishes used 37 yds of fabric. All are about 75x90". These quilts are going to <a href="http://www.mccrossan.org/">McCrossan Boys Ranch</a>--a group home for teenage boys. When a boy completes and leaves the program, he is allowed to take "his" quilt with him. I like that. Thank you Don for holding the quilts for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Quilters are giving people. When Stashbusters (Yahoo group) found out I was making boy quilts, several people sent me tops to quilt and/or sent backings! Some even came with premade bindings. Most of them are quilted and the bindings need hand sewing. A few tops will have to wait until fall when I get back to quilting. So--although I wasn't blogging I was hard at work. I fell in love with these quilts and I hope some boy loves them as much as I did! </span></div>

Baskets of strips cut and waiting? June 1st is the beginning of the Strip Tease Challenge on Stashbusters Yahoo Group! Use your old moldy Jelly Rolls, Honey Buns, or strips you've cut but have never used.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Stephanie in Australia is sorting through her various boxes, bags, and totes. So far she's found SIX different strip stashes! I have a basket just for 2.5" strips and happily pulled it out. What a disappointment! Over the last few years I've raided it a lot and there wasn't enough strips to make a quilt. How could that be? So I sorted my bits and bobs, scrap baskets, leftover backing pieces and cut more strips. I cut strips for three days. I have three new starts planned--</span><br />

It uses black/white prints, black TOT's, and jewel tone brights. Lorri2Rs cut me lots of black/whites and I had quite a few. And I bought some. <span style="font-size: x-large;">😊</span> There is in a project tote with the strips and directions packed in the camper. It uses 2.5" strips.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its by Bonnie Hunter and the pattern is free. It uses 2" strips and I was planning to resize it for 2.5" strips, but 2" strips are a more efficient use of a WOF. I cut strips from my stash/scrap box. The neutral squares are from my scrap box, so the smaller squares work better. Thank you Bonnie for sharing your pattern. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have other projects using strips--Black & White strips to make 4 patches for a <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/bricks-stepping-stones.html">Bricks and Stepping Stones</a> quilt because I have lots of precut "bricks" from scraps. Its my "go-to" pattern for a donation quilt. Another free Bonnie Hunter pattern--thank you Bonnie!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its summer and that's when I work on piecing and hand sewing binding. I have to limit my binding time--carpal tunnel, bursitis in my elbow, and worn out shoulders. I have splints to wear at night and during the day if my arms ache.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They're not too uncomfortable, they custom mold them for you while you wait. Hard plastic with velcro fasteners--you picked what color you wanted. The green was <b>not</b> pretty so I got blue ones. There was hot pink and several blues, browns, purple, orange, black, white and the velcro came in several colors too. Camo even. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Strip Tease Challenge is for June & July--but I'm sure mine will drag out much longer. Thanks okay, I'm looking forward to these projects.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Life has been busy and I just haven't had time to blog. Seems like its been raining, or we've been busy in the field, mowing the lawn, or quilting.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">About a month ago Ken came in and said "you have kittens in your clematis bush". Really--but we don't have a cat!! A stray cat had kittens under our deck/clematis bush. Since I don't want to be know as the resident crazy cat lady I have caught and tamed the kittens.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">They are race around 100mph, jumping and climbing and atttacking each other. Most will be heading to new homes this week. Right now they are living in the camper with me, and its five cats too small! I have a huge wire dog kennel they live in when I am not home or asleep. This is "Itty Bitty" kitty--he's the smallest and a bit timid. When he investigates something new, he carefully approaches it--then races back to my feet and cries pitifully until I pick him up and reassure him. He is always looking for a spot to sleep--</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She's a 99 too, but she doesn't have a backstitch. She has all her attachments, a knee lever, and a beautiful bentwood case. She's hardly been used, the Roccoco decals are almost perfect. She sews beautifully, I'm glad I got her out and oiled her and played with her, but she's too nice to sew on every day. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I know this loaf has cooked carrot and sweet potato in it. You can't SEE them but they're in there. It was mixed/kneaded it with a Kitchen Aid mixer, and baked it in a big pyrex casserole dish. Super easy--left it to rise in the mixing bowl. Now if I can remember exactly how I made it.........</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Flannel for $2.49@yd. Don't they match the quilt they're laying on?

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its my favorite "go-to" pattern and its free from <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/bricks-stepping-stones.html">Bonnie Hunter</a>. There are no diagonal seams, no background fabric. You can change up the color of the 4 patches--I've used black, brown, purple, blue, and red with a light. No scrap is too ugly to use! (Believe me, I've added some <i><b>real</b></i> unloved bricks!) Thank you Bonnie, I love to make this pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The pattern is Alfresco by Hermione Agee. Its easy, soft, and hopefully not too girly. Had a trip down memory lane while trimming the top--the border fabric was a skirt for Laura Beth when she was about 10yo. She's 33yo, so that piece was 23 years old!
