Cyberman quilt block completed

When you turn humans into machines they become Cybermen they stand 6 feet 7" tall and are made from steel instead of silver and the "handle bars" attached to Cybermen head are supposed to aid with their hearing.

Below is my 12" foundation pieced block:


The process of converting humans into a Cyberman is called “upgrading”, once humans are upgraded they are emotionless, ruthless, vicious, cold and scary machines. You can see this by looking into the lifeless round black eyeholes... pure evil.

This free pattern was found on trilliumdesign.blogspot.com

Thanks Caroline Press for the easy instructions to make this block.

Happy quilting until next time.

Work Like an Egyptian - Scribe

Did you know that only scribes and priests were taught how to read and write in Egypt, the position was often inherited and pasted from one generation to another in the same families and not everyone could become a scribe.


Scribes were usually only men who learned to read and write at a special school. It could take 3 to 5 years for a scribe to write and memorize all the hieroglyphic symbols.

and this is the assembled Steward


This is the panel with all the figures ironed onto the background fabric so far....


The panel is nearly completed....I only have to position my Pharaoh and Queen

and the Harpist on the background fabric. Wow... I've just realized that it's not as daunting a task as I thought it would be. The figures are coming together nicely.





Happy quilting until next time
