I kept trying to get pics of that church, but a bunch of slow walkers kept getting in the way. Frustrating. But at least there were costumes. Check out the guy in the blue bathrobe.
Hexagon rose block for alysowl9 (Alice) for July in Bee Scrappy and Scrap Happy Bee quilt bee groups. Imitating the Tropicana rose (the photo makes the fabric look more red than it really is).
On a Sunday afternoon....since they've just been wasting away in the corner of my sewing room for the past 5 months, I decided to shake the dust off my blocks, and see if I could remember how this puzzle fit together. It was a little confusing at first, so then I had to go get my sketch to decide which block went where. This is just a small part of what will hopefully, someday, be Michael's JD Graduation Quilt!

Block 25 - Calico Puzzle
No time to procrastinate over fabrics this week so just grabbed the first 3 co-ordinating ones that came to hand. I am in the middle of renovating the bathroom and later in the week will be meeting up with magpie and kookaburra to spend 2 days at the Sydney Quilt and Craft show drooling over the quilts and of course doing some retail therapy.

The famous statue of William Penn atop City Hall.
There is a very interesting story attached to this one, called the 'curse of Billy Penn'. Wiki says,
The Curse of Billy Penn was an alleged curse used to explain the failure of major professional sports teams based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to win championships since the March 1987 construction of the One Liberty Place skyscraper, which exceeded the height of William Penn's statue atop Philadelphia City Hall.
The curse apparently ended on October 29, 2008, when the Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series, a year and four months after a statuette of the William Penn figure atop City Hall was affixed to the final beam during the June 2007 topping-off of the Comcast Center, currently the tallest building in the city.
Mr. Penn surely doesn't like being blocked!

One of the downed branches from the atmospheric river the night before. I was actually surprised not to see more damage on my walk, but I'm sure the windstorm took out several trees across the city.
Block 16 as shown here, was located in Auschwitz-1 and housed close to 1,000 Jews, Gypsies, Romas, Gays and others who were considered 'Political Prisoners' of the Nazi regime. It is estimated that in total, over 1.3 Million people died at the hands of the Nazis here at Auschwitz which is located in Southern Poland.
Hamlin Block at 304-306 S. Main in Hutchinson, Kansas. Built in 1888 and named for Martimer Hamlin, a Connecticut-born carriage maker. He likely chose this location due to its closeness to two nearby rail lines as well as an area traditionally dominated by industrial activities.

This time I added some lace at the bottom of the mushroom, and I think that really does something for it!
I tried to sharpen this picture some, to make the details more visible, since my cell phone takes such poopie pictures. Tomorrow my shiny new 14 megapixel camera comes in, and I'll be able to take much better photos then!
