Stacks keep me interested because, even though I have a general idea of what a stack will look like, there are always elements of the finished block that surprise me. On top are three eight-stacks of diamonds and below them are the blocks they made. These are cut from a 2.5 inch strip, so when the seam allowances are taken, the finished block looks quite different from the stack set.
A few images from a recent visit to Stack Rock fort. It is testament to the skill of the engineers and builders of the day that the main structure is still in such good condition.
Funny how much the stacking shows up on the lighter, muted fabric. The other fabric has a huge, 31 inch repeat!

Thus was a very simple set-u to show how the built-in focus shift feature works at a recent Paul's Photo event in Torrance, CA.
Somehow, the chimney from the Caledonian Distillery survived the wrecker's ball and serves as a fine landmark and reminder of the area's industrial past. Established in 1885 by the Menzies family, it became at one time the largest patent still grain distillery in Europe. The Menzies also owned the Sunbury Distillery on the Water of Leith. Ownership of "The Caley" later passed to the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) as the grain whisky industry consolidated around this organisation.
DCL was purchased in 1986 by Guiness (which became the subject of the Guiness Fraud) and was merged by the new owners with Arthur Bell & Sons in 1987 to form United Distillers. The Caledonian Distillery was closed in 1988, but United Distillers (now Diageo) have a part share in the nearby North British Distillery at which they continue to produce grain spirit for their blended whiskies.
The surrounding buildings have either been raised or the finer examples converted to flats, the most that any of Edinburgh's industrial landmarks can really expect.
I'm going to do a border of Log Cabins using the fabrics from the blocks plus the hot pink centers. Right now, when I look at these, they look like very angry longhorns, however when the sides and bottom rows are on, I hope that longhorn look will go away :)
A Westbound stack train with BNSF power holds at the interlocking, lots of reefers on the first block of cars...the clip-on gen-sets are converted from A-Line trailer reefer units by shortening them.

Norfolk Southern C40-9W leads an eastbound intermodal train at Cassandra, Pennsylvania, on the Pittsburgh Line.
Each member of the marching band gets some spending money on bowl trips. EACH MEMBER. we're talking several tens of thousands of dollars. This is just one stack.
Stacked books, polymer clay pendant. It is just over 1 inch (3 cm) tall.
I usually make much bigger stuff but I love these little books. They make me smile.
A pair of trains cross at Cable. The coil train locos barely visible above the single stacked containers in the distance.

A composite of multiple images to obtain a greater depth of field across the length of the lower filament. Interesting how the near post supporting the upper, thinner element is virtually invisible save its ghost like appearance.

These blocks are going to be pretty light, so I decided to set them with some scrappy, darker greens. I'll use this modified Shoo Fly and set the blocks on point. The Shoo Fly on the right was the first one I made, but the stacked areas seemed too large because I wanted them to "float" a bit more, so I'm going with the sizes on the Shoo Fly on the left. Not a big difference, but enough. The block on the right will go into my This & That Box.
