Fire blocking seals the house. It really isnt for fire prevention since the families prefer leaving the walls open without interior wallboard. Why? Free instant shelving! Pretty cool.

Ottawa, Canadian capital
The Centre Block (in French: Édifice du centre) is the main building of the Canadian parliamentary complex on Parliament Hill, in Ottawa, Ontario, containing the Commons and Senate chambers, as well as the offices of a number of Members of Parliament and Senators, as well as senior administration for both legislative houses. It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honour, the Memorial Chamber, and Confederation Hall.
Built in the Gothic Revival style, the present Centre Block is the second iteration of the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916; all that remains of the original building is the Library of Parliament, at the rear of the Centre Block. Though construction began immediately after the blaze, sculpting work on the interior continued through the 1970s. One of the most recognizable buildings in Canada, the Centre Block is depicted on the Canadian $10 bill (the Library of Parliament), $20 bill (the main entrance), and the $50 bill (the Peace Tower).
One of the several ice blocks (this one has a slalom) that was used for the party. This design gave the choice of beverage more contact time with the ice.
I had to make the house a bit bigger than I wanted to so the cat head wouldn't overwhelm the house. With the white,it's 9" square. My siggie is in the smoke. There's a mouse teasing the cat!
For her blocks in the Tag Square Bee Julianna asked for blocks in orange, red and purple. This block is "That Thirties Thing" from Quilter's Cache. I scaled the block up to be 12.5" (unfinished) using the scale option on my printer. It's a very simple paper-pieced block.

For her quilt Sara provided a mariner's compass made from batiks as an inspiration. This block is "Nova" from "Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 2."
It's probably the most complicated paper-pieced block I've ever made and I can't believe that it turned out as well as it did! Paper piecing is always so magical the way it comes together perfectly at the end.
I'd love to make an entire quilt of these but that would probably take eons. One can dream, anyway.

Part of the damage near my house that kept me from getting in to work on Friday, February 26.
I had my chainsaw with me, but this tree was still tangled in power lines, so I decided not to clear the road by myself.

I made this one up a little different than the pattern suggested. Only one more block to go. I've been recuperating from a bad fall and have just gotten back to my sewing! Tomorrow, the Swoon blocks will be done!

For her blocks in the Tag Square Bee Jo asked for blocks in pink and white fabrics.
This block is "Caned Squares" from Quilter's Cache. The crosses are paper pieced but the rest uses quick strip-piecing techniques -- this would be a great block for someone new to paper piecing.

this is the entire block that is repeated throughout my favorite quilt. i'll need to make 36 of these for the size quilt i want (read: BIG! m + i fight over the covers at night. we need BIG.).
i have now made 12 out of the 144 small 25-patch blocks needed. i may need to take a break + work on some of those 4-patch blocks. those 1-inch squares are intense.
i already have a new appreciation for this little number (and re-thinking the boisterous comment i left on it . . . )

Several hundred years ago, a vessel was wrecked upon the shore at Jurby, with 3 brothers, by the name of Quayle, surviving the wreckage. When they reached safety on the shore, they got down on their knees and thanked God for their survival - promising that they would settle on land as far from the sea as they could get - the top of the Sulby valley. In 1515, the manorial roll shows no Quayles in the area, yet by the following one, Quayles resided at Ballaskelly & the Creggans, and by the turn of the century, Quayles occupied Block Eary (Eairey), Ballaskella, The Creggans, Lhergy Rhennie, Sherragh Vane and Creg Mooar.
Unusually for Manx farmers, there is no record of any of these Quayles ever combining fishing with the farming, as was usual elsewhere on the island.
