Between work and being on call I just can't get any free time to sew. Here is a progress picture though. I failed miserably at fabric painting so I opted for fusible applique of the letters. The red on gray had very little contrast so I brightened things up with some white highlights. I cheated a bit on the fabric piles. I needed to speed things up a bit so it's not exactly as Muriel had it laid out. I'd say the fabric prices in the Netherlands are better though! Maybe I need to plan a trip over there :D Hoping to finish this later tonight or tomorrow.
One of the most notable historic landmarks in Cincinnati is the Carew Tower, which is a part of a larger complex that fills almost the entire block between 4th Street, 5th Street, Vine Street, and Race Street in Downtown Cincinnati. Constructed between 1927 and 1930, the Art Deco-Style complex was designed by the firms W.W. Ahlschlager & Associates and Delano & Aldrich, and was developed by John J. Emery to replace the old Mabley & Carew Department Store and the Hotel Emery, and provide high-quality hotel accommodation, as well as top-notch office space in downtown. The complex includes the 49-floor, 574-foot (175 meter)-tall Carew Tower, which was the city’s tallest building from 1930 until 2010, and the Cincinnati Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel, one of the finest accommodations in the city. The building is considered to be a prototype for large-scale mixed-use development as was later seen with Rockefeller Center in New York City, as well as the basis for the design of the Empire State Building. The tower features the city’s most notable observation deck atop the 49th floor, which allows for spectacular views of the city, the Ohio River, and Northern Kentucky. The complex features ornate Art Deco ornamentation throughout, most notably around the entryways, in the Palm Court, Lobby, and Continental Room of the Hotel, and the lobby of the tower. The complex originally included a third tower with an advanced mechanical automated car storage system, something unseen and unheard of today outside of the world’s largest cities, which later fell out of favor as self-service parking garages were built in the mid-20th Century, eventually being demolished in 1980. Today, the Carew Tower and Netherland Plaza Hotel are listed as National Historic Landmarks, owing to their artistic merit, design, and history, having been designated in 1994. The complex is one of twelve national historic landmarks in the city, and is one of the city’s most significant places.
Hit the gym after work and before last minute Christmas prep to get in some miles on the track knowing there are a lot of cookies and treats in my Christmas future
I found it tricky to find a whirling block I liked which wasn't paper pieced but this one fit the bill perfectly. I love it! Hope Louise loves it too! I have heaps of fabric left over so will make up another one in a different colourway.
Here's the link to the block.

A major fire in downtown New Westminster destroyed the historic Ellis Block and several adjacent buildings.
July block for Ahava in Hip to Bee Square. Measures 12.5 inches. Ahava provided all the fabric (which I love). I named this block "Balancing Act".
I mimicked a design I saw on Away to Me's photostream (no longer active). Found a similar block design in a library book about Japanese quilting.
Practice block for the Threads Together Quilting Bee. B-woosh is looking for something like this, which is awesome. Using the freezer paper piecing technique described here, I tried out a practice block just to get an idea of what I was doing and how much fabric I'd need.

In the past days, I have been all over the city, which isn't terribly unusual, but somehow I've crossed paths with some major neon signs everywhere I've gone.
