La historia comienza así;
Caminando por Santiago, encuentro una bella y antigua pintura en muy mal estado...
los ´cachureos´ estaban a quinientos pesos en ese rincón de la feria.
La chica del dibujo anónimo
esperó pensativa tal vez meses o años, por algo más de color,
sólo unos cuantos trazos pintaban la silueta y la escena,
no tenía ni el cabello para soñar nuevas historias.
Buscó en su habitación...
Sin dejar de lado su tristeza encontró algo más adentro...
Ella ahora, escribe todo rojo en su corazón.

St Peter and St Paul, Oulton, Norfolk
The area between Aylsham and Holt can seem among the most remote in Norfolk, a landscape of scattered villages unknown to the busy traffic a few miles off on the Cromer road. Here, grand houses still stand among woods and fields, and a lattice of undulating lanes still bears mute witness to the pattern of the past. At a lost crossroads where four deep cut narrow roadways meet is St Peter and St Paul, not far from the great Hall.
The peaceful churchyard is a pleasant place to wander, and there are several interesting 18th and 19th century headstones. The church is small, and has two curious filled-in archways, one on each side, halfway down the nave. It seems there were once transept chapels, or even perhaps this church was cruciform, except that the roofline must have been very low. There was a fairly restrained 19th century restoration, which has left the curiosity of a terracotta carved and cusped archway to the priest door of the chancel.
Inside, the Victorian benches have been replaced by modern chairs, and I think this always looks good in a medieval church. There is a plainness that offsets the medieval survivals nicely - notably, the lower part of a St Christopher wall painting, the fish still swimming about oblivious of the passing of time.
There is a plain font reset on a pillar which is rather too wide for it. There is a gorgeous little piscina, with delicate carvings in the spandrels of the arch. Little things that please, and the simplicity of the sanctuary is pleasing too. There is a real feeling that this is a church of the common people, a building that has overseen the quiet lives of generations of ordinary Oultoners.
A moving testament to the people of the past is a brass plate set below the chancel arch. It dates from 1636, right on the eve of the Commonwealth, and records that:
HERE LAYE EDMUND BELL AND KATHERIN HIS WIFE
WHOE THIRTY SIX YEARES DID LIVE MAN AND WIFE
THEY HAD THREE SONNS AND DAUGHTERES THREE
FARWILL OUR FREINDS ALL IN HEAVEN WE HOPE TO SEE 1636
The inscription is harshly carved, and although the sentiment is touching, you might imagine from their poorly-spelt little ditty that the Bells were rural oafs from the outback. In fact, they were people of consequence - Edmund's grandfather had been Speaker of the House of Commons under Elizabeth I. Further, this crude memorial was produced at a time when the Renaissance was in full flower in continental Europe. A telling reminder of the price the English paid for Puritanism.

My much-improved second attempt at a mini log cabin quilt block. This one is 3 inches square. I could make these all day long. I'm totally addicted!
A large Naturalization Oath Ceremony was held at Rockford's Coronado Performing Arts Center. The line for the candidates for Citizenship stretched down the block and around the corner.
Block 4 of 4, still trimmed to 13". I'm done! I love this block but I can stop (and I will stop). Made for the Molli Sparkles Broken Herringbone Quilt Along using the tutorial by Anne of Play-Crafts.

If you count the holes you will come up with 630 holes in these 30 blocks of wood. They are in the process of becoming "Mason Bee Blocks." The final assembly will be done by the Summer Teen Group (The Green Teens) at Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve.
Mason bees are important pollinators and lay their eggs in holes in wood. These blocks are design so a person can "harvest" the eggs in the fall, clean them (making sure they are free of mites and other bugs), store them in a refrigerator over the winter, and them put them out in the spring.
With luck, each tube will have 6-7 bee eggs. The bee block I have at home (a slightly different style) now has 7+ tubes filled which means I may have as many as 40 bees waiting to come to life next spring.
Two separate blocks for Eva-Marie to incorporate into her quilt however she likes. These blocks took me such a long time to make! There's no room for fudging or inaccuracies with flying geese blocks. My amateur math errors and unreliable 1/4" foot caused enough problems that I had to attempt every seam at least twice. It was frustrating, but I certainly learned a lot!
These blocks were once loved and are worn in all the right places to prove it. Colors range from fushia to teal and fill my head with memories of mansions built behind a navy blue couch on the warm, sunlit linoleum floor.
