A mix from One Block Over bee and ones I've sewn. Time to add some lighter X parts and darker backgrounds, I think.
I'd never seen baby seagulls before, but there were dozens of nesting seagulls around the North Lighthouse. These siblings were both pleading piteously to their Mom(?) for something to eat--sometimes in unison. I shoulda captured it on video, but I'm definitely more of a still photo kinda guy. I watched them for some time, hoping to catch a feeding, but it never came I guess Mom was teaching them patience (HA! As if ANY seagull evidenced even a trace of that trait!). This northern end of the island was quite beautiful, as it's been kept undeveloped (save for the lighthouse) as a wildlife preserve. The other end of the island was plenty beautiful as well, and where I spent the majority of my time. There is where one finds Mohegan Bluffs Beach, photos of which will eventually find their way into my stream.
For her blocks in Bee Unique Bee Knotty Joanna sent us either green or blue fabrics plus some grey and white. She asked for geometric, non-wonky, non-pinwheel blocks and noted that she loved paper-pieced stars.
I love paper piecing so it was an easy choice. This block is from a quilt pattern called Millennium Compass on eQuiltPatterns. I used the two green fabrics that were sent and added in two of my own, each slightly darker than the ones sent.

I fell in love with these crossed canoe blocks. I'm thinking of making a whole quilt out of these, something scrappy maybe?

With a Hitachi unit in 2 it had to be a platform sided shot of 57603. Seen arriving into Paddington with the empty Night Riveria stock which was 5C99 2020 from Reading Traincare Depot 5/4/19.
Taken with this on 4th October - one of the things I like about using film is the wait for the results !

The East Block is the most intact of Parliament Hill's heritage buildings. It is also one of the world's finest examples of High Victorian Gothic architecture. The Government of Canada built the East Block in two major campaign periods. The first portion was completed in 1865, but is referred to as the 1867 Wing. A second wing was added in 1910. We last performed major work on the 1867 Wing in the 1970s. The East Block is now in need of restoration and modernization.

It's been a year since I have made any of these blocks. It was good to have a break, but I really enjoyed making these.

On Highway 71 just south of Highway 3 in Northwest Iowa. Block barns are few and far between in Iowa, and this one came with an old fashioned block corn crib and silo as a bonus!

15.5" square block for Gretchen. Inspired by the beach. I used the freezer paper tutorial from Oh Fransson (map of the states block) to create this block.
For our March block, Lesly picked this cool Grandma's Flower Garden block, and sent us each the taupy linen for background. She also sent 5-6 fabrics of 2 specific color families, and we were able to alter the block as we liked as far as the piecing goes, as long as it maintained the same shape and the linen background strips were the same. I had so much fun figuring out what I wanted to do and picking out fabrics to add in. :)
Was re-reading Borges's Library of Babel and wondering why he never discusses the cellar, which was really the most interesting part of that building. Lovely red brick vaulting, knob-and-tube wiring, the Victorian era circulation carts, the paleography carrels, where our hair turned blue from Penicillium, that is, before it all fell out ...one could get nostalgic. But Borges is not interested in that, but in the higher level, metaphorical stuff. Fine. I like barrel vaulting. In cellars, anyway. Looks pretty silly, above ground.
