Welcome Week ends with a bang at UL Lafayette's annual Block Party. Held at the corner of St. Mary and Rex, students are treated to free food, music, t-shirts and other fun, while celebrating life as a Ragin' Cajun.
Part of the wall of this building collapsed today. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries. This shot is from 2007.
I started on one of the short edges and worked from the center most hexagon towards the outside.
Then I used the large ruler to show the diagonals of the hexagons and placed a couple of pins. I repeated this in the other diagonal directions.
I now have a rough layout of the hexagons
Bitty block idea for July.
I was trying to stay away from the American flag since it's an international swap. I'm thinking July - full of beaches, summer cookouts and watermelon! YUM! I was going to do something with ice cream, but started thinking about how many times we've seen ice cream in here (that would far surpass my meager skills) and opted for watermelon. I'm thinking different hair styles and shirt material to make them different. :)
What cha think?
St Nicholas's church at Saintbury sits on a high vantage point overlooking the Gloucestershire/Worcestershire border atop Saintbury Hill, though oddly enough when approached by steep ascent through the village keeps itself mostly hidden amongst the dense foliage until one stumbles upon a pathway through the trees that reveals an enticing doorway framed by leaves beyond.
The building is largely of 14th & 15th century date, though its origins are clearly much older as witnessed by the simple Norman doorways in the nave (the north side being the main entrance, that on the south side is blocked).
The interior preserves an atmosphere of antiquity in its fittings, with fragments of medieval glass in the east window and substantial pieces of post-Reformation mural decoration in the chancel (Biblical texts, uncovered only recently).
The church is no longer used for regular services and is vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. For more details see below:

This is the first block I completed for Liz. I was afraid to cut the fabric so I started small. Block is 8.5" and the tiny apple is about one inch square.
Named this one Red Delicious Granny Smith...now I want to keep it.
Block for Danielle. She asked us to be inspired by a book she gave us, " This House is Made of Mud." The parts that stood out most to me were how round the house was, like the sun, moon and earth, and I tried to duplicate the roof of the house on a round patch of desert terrain with a watchful friend overhead. A button represents the central pole/peak of the roof. This "desert" patch was raw-edge appliqued so that the edges will create a nice texture when washed - thinking it could be kind of like desert grasses. I have seen other quilts that this effect looked really neat on.
The house in the book is also surrounded by a "fence" of mountains - which the purple and brown represent tall mountains with the darker green as smaller foothills, with blue sky overhead. I had a lot of fun with this assignment and I hope you like it Danielle!
OS NAMORADOS DE HITLER NÃO ME DÃO SOSSEGO, FAZENDO DE TUDO PARA ME TORNAR O TRABALHO AQUI MAIS DIFÍCIL AINDA.
MAIS UMA VEZ, EM NOME DE TECNICALIDADES MISTERIOSAS QUE SÓ PARECEM SERVIR A ALGUM GÊNERO DE CENSURA VELADA, ESTOU SOB A AMEAÇA DE TER A MINHA CONTA BLOQUEADA DEFINITIVAMENTE - PUNIÇÃO, ALIÁS, QUE ME FOI IMPINGIDA LOGO APÓS UMA SÉRIE DE SIMILARES (COMO, ALIÁS, PODEIS VERIFICAR PELAS "IMPRESSÕES DE TELA" QUE SE SEGUEM).

HITLER’S BOYFRIENDS DO NOT LEAVE ALONE, DOING EVERYTHING FOR MAKING ME THE WORK HERE STILL HARDER.
ONCE MORE, FOR THE SAKE OF MISTERIOUS TECHNICALITIES WHICH ONLY SEEM TO SERVE SOME SORT OF VEILED CENSORSHIP, I AM UNDER THE MENACE OF HAVING MY ACCOUNT DEFINITIVELY BLOCKED — PUNISHMENT, BESIDES, WHICH WAS INFLICTED ON ME JUST AFTER A SERIES OF SIMILAR ONES (AS, BESIDES, YOU CAN VERIFY BY THE PRINT-SCREENS WHICH FOLLOW).
BUT

Blocking wires are a good tool, but I really hate threading them through garter stitch edgings. I used every t-pin but 7 in the house for this, and enjoyed every second of the pinning out process. I find it very soothing.
Once it's dry I'll graft it in the center. I've grafted large sections of stockinette, but never actual live lace. Theoretically it is the same, but there are those scary yarnovers I need to make sure I don't lose.
This is a really great knit. I love Anne Hanson's stuff.
