I'm still waiting for the arrival of my Lomo LC-A.. For now, I got myself an Action Sampler. It's pretty awesome for $25. Will have some pictures up soon.

trying to catch up since I only bought the kit early March... and the spring sampler is starting soon!

I made this quilt for my oldest son. I could not get the borders completely in the photo. The center block is paper pieced. The rest of the blocks are machine pieced. I mis-calculated for the bottom left block and had to add an inner border. It is hand quilted with quilted hand-written words in the border. It says, "I never met a frog I didn't like." And there is also a quilted frog chasing a fly in the border.
Wednesday 23 April 2014: Millennium Sampler #7
This is the 7th section of the Millennium Sampler that I finished stitching on 1st January 2000. It depicts Sir Isaac Newton discovering gravity and the building of St Paul's Cathedral by Sir Christopher Wren.
Isaac Newton was supposedly sitting under an apple tree when he observed an apple fall to the ground. It started him thinking about how the apple, which had no acceleration while it was attached to the tree, could suddenly gain acceleration and fall to the ground. And so he developed The Universal Law of Gravitation.
Sir Christopher Wren's masterpiece, St Paul's Cathedral, took 35 years to complete. It is well loved by Londoners and visitors alike. During the Blitz of the Second World War incendiary bombs destroyed much of London but fire wardens and volunteers stood defiant and refused to let St Paul's be destroyed. They worked tirelessly to put out every little fire that started on the dome and managed to prevent it from going the way of many of London's other buildings

Jen drank the Cream Ale... and I've got the Range left... but my favorite of the ones I drank was the Pin Stripe Red Ale.
Jodie got me this sampler. She rocks.

I finished the last of my Flunchtime Florals blocks, but decided to put it aside to not get too ahead of Schnookie who's working on the same pattern. Instead, I picked up something I was motoring on around Christmastime -- a self-designed big block sampler quilt made from all Anna Maria Horner prints. I was thinking a big, big block sampler would be a fun project for our friend who's very new to quilting, so this is the shop sample, as it were, to encourage her to give it a go. The fabrics are all from the Anna Maria Horner fat quarter of the month club. I laid these pieces all out and then Hegle hopped up and spread out. She hasn't showed any interest in sitting on my footstool in months but as soon as it would inconvenience me terribly, it was the only place in the house she wanted to be.

The stem stitch outlining is pretty terrible -- planning on whipping around it when I'm done to try to make it look better.

From Left to Right, House in the woods sampler: started 2007. Counting Crows: Started 2008. I can't even remember when I started that rose thing. It's supposed to be a pin cushions.
Old picture took with my lomo action sampler few years ago, with an expired film.
This is Chili, my first fish, now buried in my countryside garden.
We went to the Brauhaus Joh Albrecth restaurant Wednesday evening after we arrived in town. I've been hearing about schweinshaxe (Pork Knuckle) for a couple of weeks, so I decided to give it a try, but I opted for the sampler which was supposed to only half a Pork Knuckle. This is what I got, needless to say I didn't finish much. ;) And the Pork Knuckle was "interesting".
Raw chicken 4 ways: sliced gizzard, sliced liver, white meat tartar (lightly seared), breast meat.
The chicken used is called Yamato Nikudori, specially bred in Nara for taste and texture, raised at subcontracted farmhouses in the Yagyu countryside, personally selected by the head chef in the morning and slaughtered at 130-140 days old.
The flavor of raw chicken is very mild. It has the tender and smooth texture of a premium slice of yellowtail sashimi, without any fattiness or fishiness. Perfect with a little bit of coarsly ground wasabi and soy sauce...

Sampler, 1835
Made by Caroline Eliza Sayre (1824-c. 1913)
Newark, Essex County, New Jersey
Silk, linen
The detail on this sampler is so fine that we can identify actual species. A Northern Cardinal perches on a man’s finger. A red-breasted American Robin and Indigo Bunting sing from treetops. A rooster crows from a fence post. The level of detail is remarkable considering its maker’s young age. Carolina Sayre was only eleven-years-old at the time.
