Indicative of my trail name is enjoyment of SEWing quilts -- SOWing seeds in the garden -- staying BIZZY with Letterboxing. When I can bring all three together in this series, that is something to really CELEBRATE!

These four stamps are designed as quilt blocks representing aspects of Camp’n’ Stamp’n’ and are placed in an Arboretum. They are intended as a Four Patch and will fit tightly in a 4”x6” area. But they do not have to be sewn together! Quilts are colorful, so bring your markers!

You’re heading East along the Shore Highway and a Brown Sign catches your eye to turn onto Route 480 – Ridgely Rd, followed quickly by a left turn onto Eveland Rd. Continue until you find the Arboretum on the left. This is a fee area of $3/adults $1/students free/under age 6. If you go online to their web site you can print a map of the trails – but one is also available at the visitor’s center.

Exiting the visitor’s center you will be on the South Meadow Loop – go right and pick up the Upland Walk. This is a wide walkway that will take you to the North T…..Valley Trail where this thread begins.

A basic block should have a basic start - pause at the 2nd Blue ^. There a cluster of fallen trees includes one particularly determined log showing the position of what one would do with so much fallen wood.
(adapted from Log Cabin pattern)

Continue on the trail until you pass between two mighty posts and down their rooted steps.
Just anon a fallen tube, its angle forming a tepee holds a future generation’s shelter.
(both strip piecing and paper piecing techniques can form this design)

After the path turns sandy and trail snakes abound you meet a junction with wood chips.
Here you will need the next box to know which path to follow.
Find it back towards the Visitor's Center about 9 steps in the base of a tree
(a simplified Mariners Compass pattern)

There is water all along but nary a drop to drink.
Passing beyond the arboretum boundary, after the next bridge and on left of trail this box serves a stimulating brew. It is tucked into the very large mossy trunk.
(from the Stargazey Cuppaz pattern).

NOTE: Clue is posted early for printing; however, the box will not be planted until May 30 and the start of CELEBRATE – another Camp’n’ Stamp’n’ – 2008
