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.
Eastern State Penitentiary

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."

Bee blocks for the do. good stitches Love circle! I had these done about a week ago, but just now got a photo of it! It's been a busy week :) I loved making these, and I'm hoping to make more!
The big house has been demolished and flats have been built on the site but the stable block and the grounds remain. The grounds are now a park administered by the local council.
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.

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!
... are so hard to make!
These are 1.5" by 1.5" finished (2" by 2" unfinished)
This is the beginning of my idea for DQS6 but I'll need to make 5 or 6 more of each of these...
Made from scraps mostly from craftyturtle1 :)
Inspired by Sonja's amazing paper piecing.
