for Tamiko.... hope these are okay. They look a bit boring here but they actually are very pretty in person with all of the linen. Made six because one of the blocks ended up being a bit shy of 8 1/2 x 8 1/2. I'm hoping that once the paper is removed there will be enough play in the block to work but just in case I added a sixth block.
The Lego Question Block I built recently has proven to be rather popular, and since it's quite small, I figured it would be a good build to offer as a Build-It-Yourself project! Cost direct from Lego is about $12, and instructions and part lists can be found at chrismcveigh.com.

Now the Office block.
Victoria Barracks is found in Paddington Sydney. These barracks were constructed in sandstone by convict labour from 1841 to 1848.
They were used by the British Troops until 1870, and then the New South Wales corps. The NSW contingent to the Sudan were trained there in 1885. Between 1931 and 1936 it was the home of the Royal Military College of Australia. Victoria Barracks is still in use today and is home to the Headquarters Land Command and the Headquarters Training Command.
There are guided tours held here each Thursday.
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.
Prints for "Mappings" solo show at [DAM]Berlin. Based on sound signals. Last minute decision to scale up to 150x100 cm horizontal format rather than the 60x90 vertical cropping.
A rather cool February night in Wallan, as N469 pulls Seymour bound train #8337 into the platform.
The signaller is seen greeting the driver as the train arrives. The signaller here would alert the driver by radio that the double line block instruments have failed, and it is absolute block working between Wallan and Kilmore East.
It is not yet clear when the Double Line Block instruments will again be operable.
Wallan, Vic.

This is my submission for the QuiltCon Block Challenge. It is all pieced using the Kona QuiltCon fat quarter bundle. It measures 12.5x14.

i started this blanket in april 09 and finished it last night.
it contains 108 squares from 200 crochet blocks by jan eaton. some of the squares i used repeatedly, and some i only used a few times. my method was to create nine squares at a time using three different patterns. i crocheted each pattern three times, using alternating variations of the three yarn colors. (does this make sense to anyone besides me?) the squares were then sewn together using a single crochet on the reverse side. i made sure to never put a square next to another one with the same color border.
i absolutely love this blanket to death. it is definitely my most favorite crochet work.
