Another Passion

Mr. Bluebird has found himself  a wife and there are 4 beautiful blue eggs in their perfect little nest in the bluebird house. I am member of the Bluebird Society. I only have one house in our yard because that is all that will  fit. I know that sounds funny but they are territorial birds. We live on six acres but we are surrounded by woods so there is not room  for any more houses. The houses need to be at least 100 yards from each other so that is why we only have one house. They prefer two acres for their territory but where their house is located is much smaller but because we don't have anymore houses up it works for them. The Bluebirds like open fields so the house that they lay their eggs in is right near the edge the woods facing the grassy area. Last year we had four groups of babies. There were a few that did not survive. I keep count of how many eggs and how many fledged and send the information to the society. Bluebirds were on the endangered list at one time but have really made a comeback. I really enjoy watching them. I have wondered if the couple I have out there now is some of the babies from last year. Mr. Bluebird like to sit up here and look for bugs in the grass.I just have two more quilts from the quilt show for you to see. Hope you don't mind. They are just too great not to show you.  I have longed to make a cathedral window quilt. This one is just fantastic.
Here is one that I thought was very cute. It is all machine appliqued which is done beautifully. I think that is what one of the ribbons is for. Best machine applique.

Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it.  Anne de Lenclos
ps SueQuilts asked if there was a pattern for the raffle quilt. There is not a pattern at this time but if one ever comes available I will be sure to have a post about it. You had "no reply" on your comment so I could not respond personally.
