If you remember we used 30 blocks from the Antique Block exhibit of Susan Brooks at the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, California. (Open through Nov 23, 2008). There were more blocks that we didn't use so here are some for you to see. I'll give the museums names for them in a comment in a few hours.

(Carl's Dinosaur Quilt by TQS member quilteresq)
In America, October means Halloween and football. But did you know that it is also National Dinosaur Month? We found this dinosaur quilt by TQS member quilteresq called "Carl's Dinosaur Quilt" in our TQS Quilt Gallery. To see more dinosaur theme quilts in our quilt gallery, go to "Search" in the purple bar under Ricky's head, choose "Find a Quilt" and type in "Dinosaur" in the "Name of Quilt" box.
It's also National Spinach Lover's Month, but we couldn't find any quilts posted involving spinach!!!

Everybody knows Ricky Tims is a "jokester"; remember Alex's "I think I tinkled" comment. Well, now it's official; he's the "Joker" too. These new, beautiful playing cards by C&T Publishing, features 4 of Ricky's Rhapsody Quilts (detail shots), in the four suits of the playing cards. If you would like to get your hands on Ricky; uh, I mean Ricky's cards, you can get them at Ricky's Web Store.

Look what Ruth found outside her principal's office! (She was doing PTA stuff, so don't worry!) In North Carolina, 4th grade students learn all about our state and it's history. Did you know we have a state dog and it's the Plot Hound? This quilt was made by the 4th grade students in Mrs. Morehead's and Mrs. Mann's 1998-1999 classes at North Ridge Elementary.
Adair Anderson's 8th grade government class used quilt blocks in their lessons, too. To see, click here to watch Episode 306.
And the North Carolina state vegetable? The sweet potato. Who knew? What is a unique fact for your state?

As the day drew to a close on Sunday I realized that I needed to make a mad dash through the nursery and get photos for all of you. The local artist's work was fantastic and fun. You will be able to see a quick sample of quilts and views as the sun was throwing shadows around the garden. Click here
I hope you enjoyed the tour. I also hope that many of you are able to join us next year with featured guest, Laura Wasilowski. (Episode 303)

You get to see the names of the blocks and our newest feature. We are in our testing stages, but I think you will love this new "playground". Web Guru Bob has given us an "engine" that shows a lot of pictures on a page.
How did you do in identifying blocks?
The Winners will be announced in a few hours.
