Blocks covered with a light dusting of snow at the Farmer's Market Garden Center along Elston Avenue in West Walker, Chicago, March 5, 2011
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. Check out her blog at urbanamish-yolandafundora.blogspot.com/ to see her free downloadable Urban Amish lessons.
Don't look too closely at my seams and obviously I didn't get the stripe blocks oriented correctly. Shhh.
Pineapple block - no paper piecing! Do you think this would be a good virtual bee block? Is the Kona Pepper too dark?
Hilger Block in downtown Pierre was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Photograph from 2006.
Hilger Block (Hilger and Hengel Clothing Company / Tony Clothing Company) was built in 1883 by J.D. Hilger for a clothing store. Over the years the upstairs offices housed mainly doctors, attorneys, and insurance agency representatives.
It was the first brick commercial building constructed in Pierre, which helped secure this area as the town's primary business district. Pierre had boomed in 1881 after the arrival of the railroad and became a chartered city in 1883. The Italianate style building has narrow windows, ornamental window hoods, and stamped metal cornice with brackets.
The hexagon block for Sew 'n Bee Happy March block.
I loved sewing this block and am really happy with the way it turned out.
It'll be out in the mail on Monday Kara!

I'm making a colorful playmat for our baby boy that is due at the end of January using the starburst tutorial. So no girl colors or prints please. :-)
i like a good mix of VIBRANT colors, bold or light: blues, yellows, greens, oranges, white, and a little maroon.
Fabrics with different patterns or designs. Fabric designers I like are Anna Maria Horner, Sarah Jane, and Denyse Schmidt.

Looking straight up into a sunflower planted on Manning street.
I tried to get a picture of each block before I sent the quilt away - however, block 11 is nowhere to be found, for some reason!
