I'd never seen baby seagulls before, but there were dozens of nesting seagulls around the North Lighthouse. These siblings were both pleading piteously to their Mom(?) for something to eat--sometimes in unison. I shoulda captured it on video, but I'm definitely more of a still photo kinda guy. I watched them for some time, hoping to catch a feeding, but it never came I guess Mom was teaching them patience (HA! As if ANY seagull evidenced even a trace of that trait!). This northern end of the island was quite beautiful, as it's been kept undeveloped (save for the lighthouse) as a wildlife preserve. The other end of the island was plenty beautiful as well, and where I spent the majority of my time. There is where one finds Mohegan Bluffs Beach, photos of which will eventually find their way into my stream.
For her blocks in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Joanna sent us either green or blue fabrics plus some grey and white. She asked for geometric, non-wonky, non-pinwheel blocks and noted that she loved paper-pieced stars.
I love paper piecing so it was an easy choice. This block is from a quilt pattern called Millennium Compass on eQuiltPatterns. I used the two green fabrics that were sent and added in two of my own, each slightly darker than the ones sent.

Block 1 for the Camelot Quilt. It was so much fun to make! I am really looking forward to starting block 2!

Please don't enter this dilapidated building in the Casco Viejo (old town) district of Panama City, Panama. Actually, I'm not sure they are really cinder blocks, but that is sort of what they remind me of.
Como parece que nós todas 'piramos' com os bloquinhos, resolvi 'dar uma mãozinha' e procurar na net algumas dicas de blocos beeeeeemm simples!!! Delícia de fazer, é só ter persistência...

For our March block, Lesly picked this cool Grandma's Flower Garden block, and sent us each the taupy linen for background. She also sent 5-6 fabrics of 2 specific color families, and we were able to alter the block as we liked as far as the piecing goes, as long as it maintained the same shape and the linen background strips were the same. I had so much fun figuring out what I wanted to do and picking out fabrics to add in. :)
It's been a year since I have made any of these blocks. It was good to have a break, but I really enjoyed making these.
The East Block is the most intact of Parliament Hill's heritage buildings. It is also one of the world's finest examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture. The Government of Canada built the East Block in two major campaign periods. The first portion was completed in 1865, but is referred to as the 1867 Wing. A second wing was added in 1910. We last performed major work on the 1867 Wing in the 1970s. The East Block is now in need of restoration and modernization.

Aiken, South Carolina
"Aiken is the most populous city in, and the county seat of, Aiken County, South Carolina, United States. According to 2020 census, the population was 32,025, making it the 15th-most populous city in South Carolina, and one of the two largest cities of the Central Savannah River Area.
Founded in 1835, Aiken was named after William Aiken, the president of the South Carolina Railroad. It became part of Aiken County when the county was formed in 1871. In the late 19th century, Aiken gained fame as a wintering spot for wealthy people from the Northeast. Thomas Hitchcock, Sr. and William C. Whitney established the Aiken Winter Colony. Over the years Aiken became a winter home for many notable people, including George H. Bostwick, James B. Eustis, Madeleine Astor, William Kissam Vanderbilt, Eugene Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel, Allan Pinkerton, and W. Averell Harriman.
Aiken is home to the University of South Carolina Aiken." (Wikipedia)

On Highway 71 just south of Highway 3 in Northwest Iowa. Block barns are few and far between in Iowa, and this one came with an old fashioned block corn crib and silo as a bonus!
Textures by Distressed Jewell and Jessica Drossin. HSS!
15.5" square block for Gretchen. Inspired by the beach. I used the freezer paper tutorial from Oh Fransson (map of the states block) to create this block.
I've tried this before but I've got a slightly faster lens now and I'm also getting better at processing the results! My last effort from here was a whole lot darker so I'm really pleased to have teased as many stars out in this one. This is the very end of the Milky Way so whilst there's none of that lovely gas cloud on show, there's still a lot to see.
