Austen Family Album Last Block
Block 36 Modern Envelope from the Austen Family Album by Becky Brown Last Sunday I posted the last block of my 2014 free block of the week
The Austen Family Album. The 36th block was for Jane's friend Anne Sharp.
Here's Anamaria's plan for setting the 36 blocks.
Each week I've told a little history about Jane Austen, her family and her times, and given a pattern for a pieced block that symbolizes her family and friends.
Marie-Louise's Block 7 for Aunt Phila
Blog-readers post their blocks every week on our Flickr page.

Marie-Louise Ardonceau's Flickr Photostream I'm quite intrigued by Marie-Louise's set of blocks. In every post I include a portrait of a member of Jane Austen's world,
such as this one of Aunt Philadelphia Austen Hancock.
Marie-Louise's Block for brother Frank Austen
Marie-Louise is printing the portraits onto fabric and piecing or appliqueing them into each block.
Marie-Louise's Block for Sister-in-law Eliza
Marie-Louise's Block for brother Edward Austen Can't wait to see this set together!

Time travel can be upsetting to one's sensibilities, however.
