I have been KICKING myself for not getting my ships posted before we went to the beach last week & came home to no electricity.    So this month I am taking NO CHANCES.  Here is my first I-Spy house, I hope to make many...

I am leaving for the post office right now (OKay 10 minutes) & mailing all the geese blocks. Since I have an envelope for all five winners I am holding up everyone. I’m sorry, it has been a very stupid month. So stupid that until I went to post this I thought the first of July was this coming Monday.  Don’t worry, I am still going to post office & maybe some of these will arrive before July.

There were enough for four winners this month for the geese blocks, the first three will get 49 blocks & the fourth will get 40. Without further ado: Karen Julie P. Terry each win 49 blocks & Kathy S.  wins 40 blocks. Congratulations!    

I have been CRANKING through a project for an entirely different swap group & almost as filler I have run through a few geese.  At least I thought it was a few.  Apparently I have been at the sewing machine a bit too much this week so I am closing the sewing room door & going out to play with my dogs, root some roses, hold the ladder while my husband caulks the skylight (hello hurricane season!) & anything else I can think of to let...

My plan is to make more sets BUT just in case, here are three, from mb. in FLA to...

I have been going crazy making birds but mostly for myself.  I decided they were just the thing to populate random places in my own bird trap block inspired quilt top (for about  four months now I have been obsessing on the African-American quilts in the Belger Arts Center collection.  These three birds are quite a bit smaller than this months Block Lotto bird, the smallest began with  2″ squares to make the 1/2-square triangle body.  My...

I made these 2 & had an AWFUL time getting a picture of just them, w/out my lovely assistant. He is very good about not stepping on blocks or bumping them, etc. but the minute he sees a camera he plonks his big cranium in the middle of the shot!  Finally, I just gave...

In the past week (I’m sorry, it has been crazy here on the farm w/the freezes at night & 70F during the day. Right this minute I have a dozen pullets in a dog crate in my bathtub, waiting for it to get over 40F so I can move them back outside.  Where was I?)… In the past week I got hearts from Karen in SA (cool stamps!) & Pat in CA which means all my hearts are HERE! Thank you again everyone. mb. in...

Last week was a little nuts & I never logged on to say Thank You! to Maree in New Zealand & Shelley in TX.  Your envelopes arrived safe & sound.

Friday, Saturday & yesterday (Monday) I got 3 more envelopes. Thanks so much! They were from Cyndi in CA, Kim in NY & Terry in CA. I also finally go myself to the PO & mailed my hearts to Kate & Laurina.

In the last 3 days I have gotten hearts from Christa in VA, Julie in IA, Kathie in PA, Kathleen in OR, Kathy in OH & Sophie in NM.  There is so much variety in these I love them all!  But there is one I have to share.  Kathleen could not have known but I am in love with my cow (her name was Rebecca when he arrived, but my horse is Becca so we started calling her Cowgirl, but now  it is mostly Your Ladyship).  She is a matronly little Dexter...

My last 3 for March, also to donate.  I think this makes it ?11?  I guess I liked making them more than I...
