The conventional looking little blossoms are in two shades of pink, darker on the larger lines, and the lower sections of all are white, with green leaves and stems of course. More of these transfers can be found on polycrome's photostream. www.flickr.com/photos/polychrome/

The original Catch Me Who Can was the last of four steam locomotives built by Trevithick, one of which had been built for the Coalbrookdale Company at Ironbridge. The design incorporated a vertical cylinder encased in the boiler and driving one pair of wheels directly, unlike his earlier locomotives which had a horizontal cylinder, flywheel, and geared drive. Catch Me Who Can was constructed at the Hazledine Foundry in Bridgnorth in 1808 by John Rastrick to Trevithick's design, it was built to appear at a "Steam circus" in Bloomsbury, London in summer of that year, running on a circular track around 100 feet in diameter with a small number of carriages in which members of the public could travel for the fare of 1 shilling, thereby becoming the world's first locomotive to haul fare-paying passengers. The "circus" ran for 2 months during which time the locomotive derailed on several occasions due to the poor state of the track. Trevithick could not afford to have the railway fixed and it closed with Trevithick heavily in debt. The excercise had been a success in other ways proving that a steam locomotive could run on iron rails, a concept that would be fully realised some twenty years later at the Rainhill Trials of 1829.
The idea for building a replica was first floated in 2001Early fabrication work was completed relatively quickly at Bridgnorth to the point that the locomotive would run, set on blocks, in time for the 2008 Bridgnorth beer festival, although the chimney was a temporary job made from a piece of scrap ducting. The locomotive has been steamed on a number of occasions since, although still unable to move under its own power. By late 2011 a new riveted chimney had been constructed. The large rectangular water tank with surge baffle had also been completed and slung under the boiler, with the boiler feed pump made and fitted in the tank. During 2012 and 2013 the footplate was completed and work on the railings had begun, although there is no evidence that the original was fitted with brakes, this replica will be fitted with modern air-operated disc-brake system making extensive use of lorry braking system parts. Much of the recent work has been concentrated on the braking system, COVID halted progress byt work has resumed and it is hope the engine will soon be a runner.
The locomotive's tractive effort is is 650 lbf. It has a 7" bore single cylinder with a 30" stroke, 48" wheels and 50 psi working boiler pressure.

I loved making the x and + block for Megan's month in the Sew Beautiful Bee so I decided to make five more for the ladies in my hive of the 4x5 bee, 3rd quarter. LOVE how they turned out!
Assam resting on top of a set of cardboard stairs we placed at the foot of the bed for Nobuo (who had bad legs and who also was almost too heavy for the cardboard construction), blocking Nobuo by her mere presence. Nobuo looks a little peeved..
Another nine blocks from my Patchsmith Sampler Blocks book (PDF Format). There's even a sew-along with hints and tips on all fifty 6" blocks. Find out more at The Patchsmith's blog.

Earlier today it was confirmed that troops fighting for the UAF, mostly EV Heavy Industries soldiers, have managed to steamroll through Austria and into Germany. Even as we speak heavy urban warfare is occuring in the capital city of Bavaria, Munchen. If the city were to fall it would deal a major blow to the CEC economy. It is understood that the soldiers started from Bolzano, northern Italy. It is believed that the major battles are occuring around the airports as the invading forces attempt to seize them. It has been further confirmed that various other PMCs are invading CEC and EEC territory at different locations. We can only sit and watch as the CEC/EEC coalition is ripped apart. More on the story as it unfolds.
For the World in Conflict group.
This Duane Reade is a regular offender with its delivery vehicles. Dunbar and other armored services are also frequently in the 8th Ave. bike lane during the morning commute. Dunbar actually was better over the summer, but here they are at it again.

Michigan State #10 Kelsey Kuipers and #6 Allyssah Ritterer combine to block Illinois #1 Morganne Criswell. #4 Halle Peterson is ready for the dig.
My quilt block for Gina's second Blythe quilt.
Traditional (but sewn quick and dirty way) patchwork base and machine embroidery appliqué on top, a first thing for me, hard to cut out the text shapes cleanly. haha :)
