LOTS more Block Party photo's on the way!

This is a Millers Falls no 17 block plane. As far as I know there are no type studies made on Millers Falls block planes, so I can't determine the age with any certainty. The plane is in good shape, with just smaller cosmetically issues to the japanning, a tight adjustable mouth and straight cheeks and sole. The cutter is marked with the triangular logotype and Greenfield location. Name and model is stamped to the left cheek, so it is clearly not a Type 1 which would have the company name encircling the front knob. The body is also stamped Made in USA at the heel.

This model is the same width as the Stanley 9 1/2, but 7 inches long, one inch longer than the 9 1/2. It is identical to the Stanley block plane no 15.

Production period 1929-1964.

Ice Block

This large centerpiece of ice was at our table when we were seated. This would be a course later in the meal.

My husband has been wanting me to make him a quilt of his own for a long time, and when I saw Happy Zombie's Ron Swanson quilt and knew immediately what I could make for him. Not Ron Swanson, unfortunately (though I may have to make that one for me) but one that I know he'll love....

The focus fabric is one of the prints I had done by Spoonflower.com from a design I created in a software program. I used a lesson posted by Yolanda Fundora on a contemporary Indian Hatchet block, but added my own folded dimensional twist.

Pineapple block - no paper piecing! Do you think this would be a good virtual bee block? Is the Kona Pepper too dark?

The way the light caught the edge of the knife on the chopping block caught my eye earlier :)

Some of my first iPhone photos thanks to a little help and inspiration from C.C. Chapman, Wayne MacPhail and John Meadows.
