(rather peculiar ones). If you would like an additional source of inspiration, B'y would be a great site to have a look - thousands of images from old books held on-line. http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com.au/ If you need some guidance, I'm sure that Peakay would be happy to help :-) I find a lot of inspiration from his blog.MeganHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14842743721181682681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-83705290764100638132012-05-18T18:11:49.176-05:002012-05-18T18:11:49.176-05:00Cue the Twilight Zone music!

Bruce just came home from work today (from The Leonardo, a science/ technology/art museum here in SLC) and started talking about these to me as I was reading you blog post. Major goose bumps. Neither one of us had heard of them before, but The Leo is gearing up for Water Month in June, where the art, science projects and interactive displays will all be built around that theme.<br /><br />I already love this block you are working on, and treasure every word you post!! <br /><br />Hugs, CatCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765115495938525371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-88336712734955999742012-05-18T10:46:20.960-05:002012-05-18T10:46:20.960-05:00Susan, I love how your mind works...Susan, I love how your mind works...mairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053441486203441615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-88585454418915695722012-05-18T10:41:12.150-05:002012-05-18T10:41:12.150-05:00Susan, I too, can't wait to see how this block...Susan, I too, can't wait to see how this block turns out. I love your work. That ribbon looks very 'seaside' to me. I don't know how different the shore is from West to East coast, but here (British Columbia) we have lots of anenomes and kelp in our tide pools. But judging by the 'sandy' colour of your fabrics it isn't going to be representative of our green and brown beaches!Heather M.http://www.inlovewiththreads.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24975998.post-73075340079262020342012-05-18T02:24:08.378-05:002012-05-18T02:24:08.378-05:00I can already tell this is going to be another awe...I can already tell this is going to be another awesome block created by you.

My question is this, are your crazy patch fabric shapes hand stitched down to the base foundation fabric? I have done all my crazy patch foundation blocks on the sewing machine, and then I embellish by hand. I was just curious about your proces:) Thanks!
