ktelschow asked to be surprised. She provided a gallery which had a wide variety of colours and pointed us to her other galleries. I noticed that she had a colour spectrum quilt gallery which is where I got the idea for the colours. She mentioned that she liked simple, bold, designer fabrics so I chose a variety of those in a colour spectrum.
The block is from Oh Fransson's Chopped Vegetables Pillows pattern. I used the third technique in the pattern and resized everything to make a 12.5" block.
Tanya's block for her Star Studded Rainbow Quilt. I used the Maine pattern from Carol Doak's 50 Paper Pieced Stars book. I choose this pattern because it seemed to echo the feel of her starter block without being an exact copy.
Shortly after sunrise on a warm April morning, United States Sugar's high-stepping Pacific #148 leads a short "Sugar Express" train around the north leg of the wye at Keela, Florida, just outside Clewiston, heading for the cane block. On this particular morning, the train was performing for a photo shoot organized by the railroad and attended by more than 40 photographers from all over the world.
Although normally lettered for United States Sugar Corporation, this particular event featured the locomotive lettered in the livery of her first owner, the Florida East Coast Railway. The locomotive worked the FEC from the time she was first delivered in 1920, until 1952, when she was sold to US Sugar, where she worked the cane fields for another decade. Today, the cane traffic is largely handled by diesel-electric locomotives and the 148 is the primary power on a new steam tourist operation called the "Sugar Express", which operates on a portion of the US Sugar Railroad, between Clewiston and Lake Placid, Florida.

The Union Pacific West Chicago to Troy Grove "turn" (gets its work done in one round-trip shift) has run into trouble! 4 days of remarkable rime icing has trees weighted down, to the point where multiple ones have snapped and fallen onto the tracks in DeKalb, Illinois, completely blocking the train from getting through in multiple locations near Taylor Street. Is this the end of the Troy Grove job today? Will the valuable and needed work get put off for a second day? Will anyone come and rescue our beloved engineer and conductor from this terrible fate?
Victoria asked for this specific style of block and provided the grey fabric. She said that there were no limits on what fabrics we could use. It's a wonderful way to use up small but precious pieces of fabric. She gave us the option of adding something to the center if we wanted and I noticed a definite pink/birdy theme in my fabrics. The appliqued bird is from here. (It's the fifth time I've used this bird in a bee block...I'm kind of in love!)
This giant snow slug blocked the way to my next camp. I could have (sort of) easily driven around / through it, but I would have had to drive off road and that's something I try to avoid.

Pulley blocks used in high lead logging or skyline logging. Primarily in the west of N. America. This person is using these for an unusual entrance to his property.
This was shot for Macro Mondays, spiky, but I changed the colors, so it no longer qualifies.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Brodsworth Hall, near Brodsworth, 5 miles (8 km) north-west of Doncaster in South Yorkshire, is one of the most complete surviving examples of a Victorian country house in England. It is virtually unchanged since the 1860s. It was designed in the Italianate style by the obscure London architect, Philip Wilkinson, then 26 years old. He was commissioned by Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson, who inherited the estate in 1859, but the original estate was constructed in 1791 for merchant and slave owner Peter Thellusson. It is a Grade I listed building
George Hay, 8th Earl of Kinnoull, bought the Brodsworth estate from Sir John Wentworth in 1713 and rebuilt the house in the Georgian style, but lost his money in the South Sea Bubble crash of 1720 and was obliged to take the position of Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. His second son Robert, later Archbishop of York, took up residence on the estate instead and made a number of improvements to the house and grounds. On his death in 1777, the house was left empty, and, after his eldest son became the 10th Earl of Kinnoull in 1787, he sold the estate in 1790 to Peter Thellusson (1737–1797) of the Swiss banking family.
Peter Thellusson had come from Geneva and settled in England, becoming a director of the Bank of England. This role saw him provide loans to slave ship and plantation owners. As these slave owners defaulted on debts, Thellusson amassed interests in Caribbean plantations and became a tobacco and sugar importer. He wrote an unusual will, unsuccessfully challenged by his family in the Thellusson Will Case, whereby his fortune was put in trust to be untouched for three generations. Peter Thellusson's grandson Arthur Thellusson, married the daughter of another Antigua slave owner, Sir Christopher Bethell-Codrington. The Thellussons were slave owners in Grenada and Montserrat as late as 1820.
One of the two eventual beneficiaries was the 5th Baron Rendlesham. The other was Peter's great-grandson Charles Sabine Augustus Thellusson who, in 1859, inherited half the bequest plus the Brodsworth estate with its Georgian house. He demolished the existing house and commissioned the present one, which was built in two years between 1861 and 1863. A keen yachtsman, he also commissioned four yachts, the last two being, successively, the largest in the world. He was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1866–1867. He and his wife Georgiana left four sons, all of whom died childless, and the house therefore passed to each son in turn. The third son, Charles Thellusson, leased the mineral rights to the Brodsworth Colliery Company and also rented them the land for the construction of Woodlands model village to accommodate the miners. In addition he paid for the construction of All Saints Church (1913) for the village. He was also responsible for the introduction of electric light to the hall.
After the First World War, spiralling costs resulted in the owners closing off parts of the house. On the death of the youngest son, Augustus Thellusson, in 1931, the house passed to his nephew, Captain Charles Grant-Dalton (1882–1952). He was High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1942–1943.
The last resident of the house was Sylvia Grant-Dalton (wife of Captain Grant-Dalton), who fought a losing battle for 57 years against leaking roofs on the mansion and land subsidence from nearby coal mining. After her death in 1988, Her daughter, Pamela Williams, gave the Hall and gardens to English Heritage in 1990. The contents of the house were purchased by the National Heritage Memorial Fund and transferred to the ownership of English Heritage. It was decided to conserve the interiors "as found" rather than replacing or restoring them. They demonstrate how a once opulent Victorian house grew "comfortably" old.
Designed in the Italianate style by Philip Wilkinson, the Hall is constructed in ashlar limestone, some quarried on the estate, with lead and slate roofs. Stonework, windows and interior fittings were reused from the older building. The building is "T" shaped with the servants quarters forming the upright. The main block, forming the cross-bar, is 2-storey rectangular range having 9-bay frontage. The house has more than 30 rooms, ranging from grand reception rooms with original furnishings to the servants' quarters. The house is surrounded by Victorian period gardens, which are used for special events throughout the summer.
The house is noted for Charles Sabine Thellusson's collection of paintings and sculptures, including a large collection of Italian sculptures bought at the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865.
This high-rise, 'furled-sail' office block is one of the very many signature architectural landmarks in the Sandton 'node' of Greater Johannesburg. Sandton is the centre of finance capital in South Africa and, reputedly, the richest square mile on the African continent. Photographing these buildings can be a nightmare, as private corporate security guards will chase photographers away, even from public roads and pavements when they are within their rights to view the magnificent architecture. Indeed, it is often spectacular to behold - but beware: Johannesburg is not Paris or Berlin when it come to the ease of doing city-scapes!

Stylistically between Neoclassicism and Bauhaus, the Hygiene Museum in Dresden is worth a visit, also from the architectural viewpoint.
An old fabric/wallpaper printing block we bought last week, comprising a heavy wooden block with the design built up in metal shapes. Makes a rather lovely print, as you can see here
As many of you may have noticed, I love the water. Put me near the coast and I could happily take photos all day long. I never get tired of the way the water moves along beach, and was fascinated by this scene on Block Island
Enjoy!
AP - A blockage caused progress to be stopped on the tracks yesterday. A stop sign was knocked over, likely the result of a vehicle collision. Damage was minimal to the sign post, and crews were in later that day to hoist the stop sign back into place. The mirror is expected to make a full recovery.
The only witness, a local warehouse that was sitting nearby at the time, declined to speak to reporters. Officials suspect driver error while backing out of the parking lot bordering the tracks. The investigation is ongoing.
