You just, you just go out there every Sunday and you make the blocks and you take the hits and you, you play to win. You show up and you suit up and you play, because it's your freaking team....

For my month in Bee Improvisational I am asking my fellow bee members to make blocks in the using Bumble Beans Inc's Waverunner tutorial. This is one of the sample blocks I made. All colour information is here.
The dimensions of this block are about 22" by 20". For this block I sewed many strips together and then cut the block into two pieces. I then inserted strips in between the two pieces of the block and added one more strip to the side.
Block-O-Ween is here!
For those of you who are asking "WTF is Block-O-Ween?" Starting tomorrow (October first) I will be posting a new custom image with a new theme every day in October till the 31st (Halloween).
Here are the themes for each day.
The Light Block Shot is a staple shot of ours now. Its very easy to do and creates interesting photographs of fading light
Graphic Art: a visual presentation in which images are produced from blocks, plates, or type.
Paul Klee's quote fits I think: "The painter should not paint what he sees, but what will be seen”. I chose these details of this house in Kirchberg an der Pielach for you to see.
I suspect these blocks are motion-detection sensors, if anyone crossed unauthorized.

A random block in downtown Denver, where I think I like the mix of the chaotic city surrounding the regular repeating pattern of the tower block. Both noisy and regulated at the same time.
I quite liked Denver as a city when we stayed there for a few days as Laura was speaking at the OSHWA Summit that year, but I don't really have many photos of it to reflect why. I suspect I find it hard to capture the the subtle space between large pictures like this one and the close up detail shots, and there in lies the personable space that makes a place good.
Or it could have just been because of Voodoo Donuts.
Hand carved shesham-wood print block from India. Each is one-of-a-kind and designs are often unique to particular regions. Nearly a lost art, this handcrafted work will soon disappear, being replaced by automated web presses and silk screening processes. It is only a growing appreciation of this craft in urban and export markets that is keeping it alive.
The block carving process is tedious and demands an exceptional degree of skilled craftsmanship. The most skilled artisan in a block making shop, often the owner, will work on a piece such as this one.
A block starts out as a planed slice of shesham wood. The design is traced on to the wood's planed surface. The wood is then chiseled to the depth of a third of an inch. The precision that a master block maker achieves with his meager arsenal of hammer and chisel is truly extraordinary.
Cell blocks sit quiet and empty at the historic E.S.P.
Eastern State Penitentiary was the worlds first true penitentiary. A prison designed to resemble a medieval fortress and inspire true regret in the hearts of those sent there. Opened in 1829 and finally closing its doors in 1971, E.S.P. is now open to the public for tours and exploring on your own. I highly advise a visit if you're in the Philadelphia area!

Bletchley Park és un dels llocs més fascinants de la historia del segle XX. Aquí, durant la II Guerra Mundial i buscant la manera de desxifrar els codis militars alemanys, en sorgí la informatica i els ordinadors.
Aquí podeu veure una vista general dels blocs construits a partir de 1941 per encabir el creixent personal del que es coneixeria posteriorment com "Station X".

========================================================
Bletchley Park is one of the most amazing historical places related to the XX Century in general and to WWII in particular. Here, during the colossal effort to crack the german military codes, computers and computing science were born (or at least had their main intial development).
Here you can see some of the wartime blocks (in fact Block-D) build after 1940, in order to cope with the increasing staff of what was known as the GC&CS, but his actual famous name is Station X.

For an impresive virtual visit, take a look to these videos:
For her month in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Elizabeth asked for blocks made in the theme of "Hanging Quilts" (inspired by a theme used in the Ringo Pie Bee, "Quilts on a Line.") She provided each of us a piece of Kona Snow to use as the background and asked for a 14.5" (unfinished) block.
Elizabeth indicated that the hanging quilts could be hanging on anything. I fear I might be stretching the theme a bit too much but, inspired by The Walking Quilted group, I decided to make a block showing someone holding the quilt with just her feet and hands showing.
For the mini quilt I knew that I wanted to make a tiny version of my most recent finish, City Green. I used the scraps from that quilt and it took me three tries to get it right (I had to abandon the idea of putting the super skinny sashing in between each block once I realized that was insane.) The quilt is about 5" square. The individual squares are 1/2" finished. I sewed the quilt together, turned under the edge and then appliquéd it to the block using a tiny zigzag. All other appliqué is raw-edge.
For the trees I used the same technique that I used for this mosaic tree block. Everything was temporarily attached using a washable glue stick and then I used a tiny zigzag stitch to appliqué everything. I added the pink bird because I thought the the block needed a pop of something that wasn't green.
PS. The quilt holder isn't unclothed -- it's summer time so she's wearing shorts!
Background: "Eastern State Penitentiary was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers.
Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.
Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America’s most notorious criminals, including bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton and Al Capone." More at - www.easternstate.org/

Block Island is part of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 13 miles (21 km) south of the coast of Rhode Island, 14 miles (23 km) east of Montauk Point on Long Island, and is separated from the Rhode Island mainland by Block Island Sound. The United States Census Bureau defines Block Island as Census Tract 415 of Washington County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census the population of 1,051 lived on a land area of 9.734 square miles (25.211 km2).[1] The island is part of the Outer Lands region, a coastal archipelago made by the recessional and terminal moraine that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat, about 22,000 years ago.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy added Block Island to its list of "The Last Great Places"; the list consists of twelve sites in the Western Hemisphere. About 40 percent of the island is set aside for conservation.[2] Presidents Bill Clinton,[3][4] Dwight D. Eisenhower,[5] Franklin Delano Roosevelt,[6] and Ulysses S. Grant[7][8] have visited Block Island. Other famous visitors include Amelia Earhart and Charles Lindbergh, who each made separate trips to the island in 1929.[9]
Block Island is coextensive with the town of New Shoreham. The island is a popular summer tourist destination and is known for its bicycling, hiking, sailing, fishing, and beaches. The island hosts two historic lighthouses: Block Island North Light, on the northern tip of the island, and Block Island Southeast Light, on the southeastern side. Much of the northwestern tip of the island is an undeveloped natural area and resting stop for birds along the Atlantic Flyway.[citation needed]
Every summer the island hosts Block Island Race Week, a competitive, week-long sailboat race. On odd years, the event is held by the Storm Trysail Club, and on even years by the Block Island Race Week. Yachts compete in various classes, sailing courses in Block Island Sound and circumnavigating the island.[citation needed]
Other popular events include the annual Fourth of July Parade and celebration. During these times the island's population can triple over the normal summer vacation crowd.
