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.

Fotografia presa amb una càmera Rolleiflex Automat (RF 111A), fabricada el 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 revelat amb HC110. Aquesta càmera és contemporanea amb Auschwitz-Birkenau.
En aquesta imatge es poden veure els tres tipus de barracons d'Auschwitz I: els originals de dos plantes, els originals d'una planta sobrepujats a dues, i els construits durant la guerra.
Auschwitz. Què més puc dir més enllà d’aquest toponim en alemany d’una vila polonesa. Tots ja sabeu què fou, de 1940 a 1945. Aquí es creà un camp de concentració per la explotació salvatge i mortal dels enemics del III Reich. Però sobretot a partir de 1943 i a la seva extensió (i futur camp independent) de Birkenau: l’extermini dels jueus europeus a nivell industrial.
En aquest cas, el camp original (Auschwitz I o Stammlager Auschwitz (camp principal)) fou creat el juny de 1940 en una antiga caserna del exèrcit polonès. Per això està format per edificis de maons de dues plantes, tant diferent de Birkenau. Els nazis hi afegiren més blocs, torres de vigilancia i filferrades. Entorn el camp proliferaren industries de guerra alemanes, aprofitant sense pietat la ma d'obra esclava. Tot i no ser el camp on es va produir la major part de l'extemini massiu (Birkenau), Auschwitz I fou un infern espantós per a tot aquell que hi va anar a parar. L'esperança de vida mitjana era d'uns 3 mesos i els morts foren centenars de milers.

=====================================
Photograph taken with a Rolleiflex Automat camera (RF 111A), manufactured in 1938; Ilford HP5+ 400 film developed in HC110. This camera is of the same era than Auschwitz-Birkenau.
In this picture you can apreciate the three different block types in Auschwitz I: pre-war 2 floor blocks, pre-war 1 floor blocks (expanded to 2nd floor by the nazis) and "newer" 2 level blocks built by the nazis. By order these are background left, foreground left, and foreground right.
Auschwitz. What else can I say beyond this toponym in German of a Polish town. You all know what it was, from 1940 to 1945. Here a concentration camp was created for the savage and deadly exploitation of the enemies of the Third Reich. But especially from 1943 and in its extension (and future independent camp) of Auschwitz II - Birkenau. The extermination of European Jews at an industrial level.
In this case, the original and main camp (Auschwitz I or Stammlager Auschwitz) was created in June 1940 in an old Polish army barracks. That is why it consists of two-story brick buildings, so different from Birkenau. The Nazis added more blocks, watchtowers and barbed wire. German war industries proliferated around the camp, exploiting slave labor mercilessly. Despite not being the camp where most of the mass extermination took place (Birkenau), Auschwitz I was a terrifying hell for everyone who ended up there. The average life expectancy was about 3 months and the dead were hundreds of thousands.

my first finished swoon block! Thinking I'll make 3 more?
This one is made up with all my spoonflower designed fabrics
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!
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.

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.
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.
