Voorhout, NL
Some background info (translated from the Wikipedia):
"Hoop Doet Leven (=Life is Hope) is a polder mill in Voorhout. Originally, this ground sailer was located in Rijnsburg, where it was built for the drainage of the Kamphuizen polder. The mill has an iron paddle wheel outside the mill, which is half covered.
Due to the expansion of the Flora flower auction, there was no room for the mill. In 1999 the mill was therefore moved to the polder Elsgeest, where it was put into operation on 11 November 2000. The mill now binds the Elsgeest polder on a voluntary basis. Remarkable detail: Hoop Doet Leven became the property of the Rijnlandse Molenstichting when the mill hung half a meter above the ground. At that time, the mill was no longer real estate and was therefore subject to a more favorable tax rate.
The mill has the status of a national monument. Hoop Doet Leven can usually be visited on Saturdays between 12:00 and 15:00."

Bit of a plain evening sky, I should cycle back there when there are more interesting clouds maybe.
Lotsa hoops... you never know when you'll need a spare. My craftroom at Christmas, blogged here: lisasteatime.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-in-my-craft-r...
At the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
The Hooper Strait Lighthouse, now standing on Navy Point, was originally built in 1879 to light the way for boats passing through the shallow, dangerous shoals of Hooper Strait, a thoroughfare for boats bound from the Chesapeake Bay across Tangier Sound to Deals Island or places along the Nanticoke and Wicomico Rivers. As a “screwpile” lighthouse, it is built on special iron pilings which were tipped with a screw that could be turned into the muddy bottom for a depth of 10 feet or more. The Museum’s lighthouse is the second lighthouse constructed at Hooper Strait – the first one was destroyed by ice in 1877.
In the 1960s the Coast Guard had taken to removing the houses from the old screw-pile lights in order to cut maintenance costs and avoid vandalism; a skeleton tower would then be erected on the old foundation. The Hooper Strait Light was slated to be so treated in 1966, but the newly founded Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum arranged with the Historical Society of Talbot County and the federal government to have the light moved to its campus instead. The light was sliced in half at its eaves, and the two pieces of the house were barged to St. Michaels, where they were reassembled on a newly constructed foundation on Navy Point. This was the first successful preservation effort of its kind in the bay, laying a precedent for the removal and preservation of the Drum Point and Seven Foot Knoll lights. The light remains a showpiece of the museum and a landmark on the St. Michaels waterfront.

The Museum is well worth a visit. Yesterday we met some folks vacationing in the US from the Netherlands- they were fascinated by the lighthouse, if not so much by our heat!
The orange color on this eggplant background is a cotton lame, it has iridescent gold threads in the weave lending a beautiful sheen to this quilted fiber art piece framed in a fabric wrapped embroidery hoop.
The technique used to make this is called reverse applique, which means the shapes are cut out of the black fabric and the patterned fabric is placed behind it. A layer of batting is put behind it all and then machine stitched around all the shapes with the beautiful sheen of rayon embroidery thread.
Stitching this panel for the embroidery hoop was really very enjoyable. I loved embroidering all the different patterns on the flower pots and tried to imagine what such a collection would look like in real life! It is a pattern by Bustle and Sew from England. I also learned a few new stitches!

Diese Stickarbeit hat viel Spaß gemacht. Am meisten haben mir die verschiedenen Muster auf den Blumentöpfen gefallen. Hab mir versucht vorzustellen wie eine solche Kollektion in Wirklichkeit aussehen würde. Das Stickmuster stammt von Bustle and Sew aus England. Nicht nur hat es Spaß gemacht, ich habe auch noch einige neue Stiche dazu gelernt.

This is an adjustable height basket ball hoop, that is based off my basket ball hoop. The height doesn't adjust that much though. :(
