We gifted this sweater to Baby MacKenzie this past weekend at her baby naming party. Somehow I forgot to sign the card, yet managed to include detailed washing instructions. Priorities, right? Luckily, the mother of the baby guessed this gift was from us. Out of 200 partygoers, that's some impressive guesswork!
Ken Block and Audi on Thursday unveiled a one-off electric car for Block’s upcoming “Elektrikhana” video. Dubbed the Audi S1 E-Tron Quattro Hoonitron, the car is inspired by the Audi Sport Quattro S1 of Pikes Peak hill climb fame, incorporating that race car’s massive rear wing and bench-like front wing. Instead of the original S1’s

Here are my blocks so far, I think there might be a couple more to come, not sure. I wondered what squaring each block with large white triangles, and then piecing them together as diamonds within a large diamond, would look like. Perhaps then when squaring the quilt, using spider like block outer corners. Heck, I'm not sure that makes sense to anyone, I'll draw it out.
These buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Indianapolis Union Station-Wholesale District. Here is their write-up:
Braden's Block No. 2 (Now St. Elmo's Steakhouse), 129-31 South Illinois Street, 1874-75, This three-story, brick building at the intersection of South Illinois and West Chesapeake Streets is noteworthy for the diagonal cut in its plan at this corner. The first floor storefronts have been repeatedly remodeled over the years, most recently with vertical siding and a shake overhang. The second and third floors exhibit pairs of rectangular windows recessed between brick piers and under brick, segmental relieving arches. The third floor is further enriched by compound segmental arches, accented by a molding; carved, foliar pier capitals; and quatrefoil details in the stone trim at the juncture of the arches. A distinctive cornice caps the building's parapet along the Illinois façade and three bays of the Chesapeake side; at the diagonal face, the letters BRADEN proudly appear between projecting corner markers.
Louis G. Deschler Company Building, 135 South Illinois Street, 1906-07 - The upper façade of this three-story commercial building bears the strong imprint of the Jacobethan Revival. The triple windows of the second and third floors are grouped in a central composition detailed in stone, its contrast against the brown brick wall further accented by quoin work. Between the two floors, an elaborately festooned panel proclaims the wares of the original business: "cigars & tobaccos." A steep, stepped gable outlined in stone rises above the parapet and in front of a tiled roof penthouse. Interesting details include the gable's carved tablet, the "brackets" at the parapet line, and the gargoyles perched at the first floor stringcourse, below which nothing appears to remain of the building's original storefront.
I tried to get a picture of each block before I sent the quilt away - however, block 11 is nowhere to be found, for some reason!
