Südlich von Niebüll gibt es die Blockstelle Langenhorn, welche hier soeben von einem Regionalexpress Richtung Westerland passiert wird.

Easy peasy. Oh, they rattle too. I just put some beads in plastic bottles and poped them inside with the filling.
I was asked by Blocks magazine to provide info on my spine tree for an article on trees! So thanks for asking and to all who like a good Lego read, than Blocks is what you are looking for! (I noticed Mark of Falworth was in the article as well!)
Color blocks to print under the hyper-detailed black key block for the "OVERLOOK" woodcut. More carving will be done during the proofing process, which will begin as soon as the red block has been carved in full! Shouldn't be long...!
One more block (in addition to the 3 color & key) will add into this color mix as well.
Pictured on the block is the pen color used to draw the color info in, not the final printed color. All of our inks are custom mixed for printing.
This is the blue block.

I placed my Simple Skyline block next to my Intermediate Skyline block, just to see how the skyline will look once it's pieced. I've wanted to do a cityscape quilt for the last couple months and am excited to have the Simply Solids group to help me make it happen!
My dad found a cigarbox full of these wonderful cancelled stamps from the 1950's at a garage sale. He thoughtfully gifted them to Ben and me for our enjoyment. I tried to pick out the best ones that were meaningful to me: states I have lived in, people and subjects I am interested in, etc.
Thanks, Dad!
The start of my new boys quilt. Blog and pattern links here wombatquilts.com/2013/01/09/gretchen-blocks-work-in-progr...
Every now and again, I love playing around with traditional patterns. Tumbling blocks are just timeless-- and the insertion of random striped blocks adds some spunk to this time honored pattern.
Zwischen dem Volkswagen Autoeuropa-Werk in Palmela und dem Export-Hafen von Setúbal pendelt planmäßig dreimal werktäglich Captrain Portugal (bis 31.12.23 takargo rail) mit VW-"T-Roc"-Ganzzügen. Als Zuglok ist planmäßig eine ab 1973 bei MLW in Canada gebaute Lok der Reihe 1550 (MX-620) eingeteilt. Takargo hat 2019 drei dieser Maschinen bei der CP gekauft und wieder hergerichtet. Am 23.01.2024 konnte die 1565 mit dem mittäglichen Zug 65885 Penalva - Setúbal-Mar bei Pontes fotografiert werden.
Between Volkswagen Autoeuropa plant at Palmela (south of Lisbon) and the harbor of Setúbal Captrain Portugal (former takargo rail) is running three pairs of block trains a day with new build VW "T-Roc" automobiles. Normally the trains are hauled by MLW built class 1550 (series MX-620) diesel locos. In 2019 takargo rail bought three locomotives of this type from national Portuguese railway company CP. At January 23, 2024 loco 1565 can be seen near Pontes with the second loaded train of the day, 65885 Penalva - Setúbal-Mar.

One of the tops views of Cell Block Seven that is often photographed. I lucked out and got there early enough before anyone else was in the shot
Some info from the E.S.P. website:
"Most eighteenth century prisons were simply large holding pens. Groups of adults and children, men and women, and petty thieves and murderers, sorted out their own affairs behind locked doors. Physical punishment and mutilation were common, and abuse of the prisoners by the guards and overseers was assumed.
In 1787, a group of well-known and powerful Philadelphians convened in the home of Benjamin Franklin. The members of The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons expressed growing concern with the conditions in American and European prisons. Dr. Benjamin Rush spoke on the Society's goal, to see the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania set the international standard in prison design. He proposed a radical idea: to build a true penitentiary, a prison designed to create genuine regret and penitence in the criminal's heart. The concept grew from Enlightenment thinking, but no government had successfully carried out such a program.
It took the Society more than thirty years to convince the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to build the kind of prison it suggested: a revolutionary new building on farmland outside Philadelphia."

when they're postage stamp-sized . . . but it's 66 blocks closer to being finished!
snapped this progress shot to get perspective on how the new blocks will blend into the quilt. better photos to follow . . . as soon as i sew the new strips of blocks on. somehow the muslin strips between the blocks are a wee bit too big, which means i have some ripping, trimming + re-sewing to do. i have no idea how i measured those wrong!
