Please don't enter this dilapidated building in the Casco Viejo (old town) district of Panama City, Panama. Actually, I'm not sure they are really cinder blocks, but that is sort of what they remind me of.
Make slow progress on my winding ways quilt with Oakshott cottons.

The East Block is the most intact of Parliament Hill's heritage buildings. It is also one of the world's finest examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture. The Government of Canada built the East Block in two major campaign periods. The first portion was completed in 1865, but is referred to as the 1867 Wing. A second wing was added in 1910. We last performed major work on the 1867 Wing in the 1970s. The East Block is now in need of restoration and modernization.

The Vyne is a Grade I listed 16th-century country house in the parish of Sherborne St John, near Basingstoke, Hampshire. The house was first built circa 1500–10 in the Tudor style by William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys, Lord Chamberlain to King Henry VIII. In the 17th century it was transformed to resemble a classical mansion. Today, although much reduced in size, the house retains its Tudor chapel, with contemporary stained glass. The classical portico on the north front was added in 1654 to the design of John Webb, a pupil of Inigo Jones, and is notable as the first portico in English domestic architecture.
The former brewhouse and laundry form the north side of the courtyard adjacent to the house. These have some 16th Century timbers, and were either adapted from an exiting Tudor building, or built using salvaged materials.
It's been a year since I have made any of these blocks. It was good to have a break, but I really enjoyed making these.

On Highway 71 just south of Highway 3 in Northwest Iowa. Block barns are few and far between in Iowa, and this one came with an old fashioned block corn crib and silo as a bonus!

15.5" square block for Gretchen. Inspired by the beach. I used the freezer paper tutorial from Oh Fransson (map of the states block) to create this block.
For our March block, Lesly picked this cool Grandma's Flower Garden block, and sent us each the taupy linen for background. She also sent 5-6 fabrics of 2 specific color families, and we were able to alter the block as we liked as far as the piecing goes, as long as it maintained the same shape and the linen background strips were the same. I had so much fun figuring out what I wanted to do and picking out fabrics to add in. :)
my first finished swoon block! Thinking I'll make 3 more?
This one is made up with all my spoonflower designed fabrics
This block is approximately 6x6, signed, numbered and made to hang...or place...or use as a coaster. Whatever you see fit. Ridiculously cheap and lookin' for a good home.
You can look in the "art?" set and see more. Once sold however, I delete them.

these blocks were my Christmas present from Elsie and Roxy. I thought they would be much easier than stones to balance and in one way they are because they have flat surfaces (although some of the planes are very small) but because they are manmade and not organic they don't seem to settle quite in the way stones do. As I was taking this photo I saw that the tenth block was still on the floor from the first tumble! They require mindfulness like stones, but when they fall they don't shock in the way the larger stones do, and also they don't have the potential to break a toe!
