Standard Inscription. Palace of Ashurnasirpal, priest of Ashur, favorite of Enlil and Ninurta, beloved of Anu and Dagan, the weapon of the great gods, the mighty king, king of the world, king of Assyria; son of Tukulti-Ninurta, the great king, the mighty king, king of Assyria, the son of Adad-nirari, the great king, the mighty king of Assyria; the valiant man, who acts with the support of Ashur, his lord, and has no equal among the princes of the four quarters of the world; the wonderful shepherd who is not afraid of battle; the great flood which none can oppose; the king who makes those who are not subject to him submissive; who has subjugated all mankind; the mighty warrior who treads on the neck of his enemies, tramples down all foes, and shatters the forces of the proud; the king who acts with the support of the great gods, and whose hand has conquered all lands, who has subjugated all the mountains and received their tribute, taking hostages and establishing his power over all countries. When Ashur, the lord who called me by my name and has made my kingdom great, entrusted his merciless weapon to my lordly arms, I overthrew the widespread troops of the land of Lullume in battle. With the assistance of Shamash and Adad, the gods who help me, I thundered like Adad the destroyer over the troops of the Nairi lands, Habhi, Shubaru, and Nirib. I am the king who had brought into submission at his feet the lands from beyond the Tigris to Mount Lebanon and the Great Sea [the Mediterranean], the whole of the land of Laqe, the land of Suhi as far as Rapiqu, and whose hand has conquered from the source of the river Subnat to the land of Urartu. The area from the mountain passes of Kirruri to the land of Gilzanu, from beyond the Lower Zab to the city of Til-Bari which is north of the land of Zaban, from the city of Til-sha-abtani to Til-sha-Zabdani, Hirimu and Harutu, fortresses of the land of Karduniash [Babylonia], I have restored to the borders of my land. From the mountain passes of Babite to the land of Hashmar I have counted the inhabitants as peoples of my land. Over the lands which I have subjugated I have appointed my governors, and they do obeisance. I am Ashurnasirpal, the celebrated prince, who reveres the great gods, the fierce dragon, conqueror of the cities and mountains to their furthest extent, king of rulers who has tamed the stiff-necked peoples, who is crowned with splendor, who is not afraid of battle, the merciless champion who shakes resistance, the glorious king, the shepherd, the protection of the whole world, the king, the word of whose mouth destroys mountains and seas, who by his lordly attack has forced fierce and merciless kings from the rising to the setting sun to acknowledge one rule. The former city of Kalhu [Nimrud], which Shalmaneser king of Assyria, a prince who preceded me, had built, that city had fallen into ruins and lay deserted. That city I built anew, I took the peoples whom my hand had conquered from the lands which I subjugated, from the land of Suhi, from the land of Laqe, from the city of Sirqu on the other side of the Euphrates, from the furthest extent of the land of Zamua, from Bit-Adini and the land of Hatte, and from Lubarna, king of the land of Patina, and made them settle there. I removed the ancient mound and dug down to the water level. I sank the foundations 120 brick courses deep. A palace with halls of cedar, cypress, juniper, box-wood, meskannu-wood, terebinth and tamarisk, I founded as my royal residence for my lordly pleasure for ever. Creatures of the mountains and seas I fashioned in white limestone and alabaster, and set them up at its gates. I adorned it, and made it glorious, and set ornamental knobs of bronze all around it. I fixed doors of cedar, cypress, juniper and meskannu-wood in its gates. I took in great quantities, and placed there, silver, gold, tin, bronze and iron, booty taken by my hands from the lands which I had conquered.

The Quilt: Earlier this year I mentioned to Jess that I'd like to put a QAL together, and she said she'd love to do one together so we started planning. Jess came up with the fantastic layout for it, and we've been nailing the details over the last few months (getting confusing with the Jess's everywhere?) It is a sampler style quilt with three different block sizes, and a total of 18 different block types, so we're hoping it will be a bit of a skill builder as well. The quilt that we'll be making will look something like this: But as you can see it would be open to mix and match blocks around - so you could do more of some and less of others as you choose! We are also giving the option of making a smaller quilt or quilted item. For example, there will be: * a Mini Quilt or small quilted item category (ie a 30" mini quilt, a quilted cushion etc) * a Throw Quilt category (ie 45" x 50" throw quilt). * The full Twin size quilt category. We will be giving some ideas as to how you could put these together as well. There will be prizes for each of the three categories, so if you're time poor you can make something small and still enter to win! The Prizes: The Fat Quarter Shop have very generously offered to be our sole sponsor for this - and there is a whopping $250 worth of gift certificates for seven lucky people! There will be three categories in which you can enter. 1. Full Twin Quilt Category The main category will be for those who complete the Full Twin Sized quilt (65" x 80"). There will be TWO prizes of a $50 gift certificate for the Fat Quarter Shop, and one prize of a $25 gift certificate. 2. Throw Quilt (45" x 50") There will be one $50 voucher, and one $25 voucher in this category. 3. Mini Quilt or other quilted item There will be two $25 vouchers in this category. So the nitty gritty stuff. This QAL will run over 24 weeks. Yep, nearly 6 months! We will be presenting one tutorial each week, alternating between the two of us who does the tutorial. Then there will be a few weeks for finishing up blocks, quilting and binding - so we're giving you (and us!!) time to get it all done. TUTORIAL PLAN: The order for tutorials will be as follows: Week 1 - 27th July: Susannah (10”) – 2 blocks Week 2 - 3rd August: Weathervane (10”) – 1 block Week 3 - 10th August: Pieced star (10”) – 3 blocks Week 4 - 17th August: St Louis Star (10”) – 1 block Week 5 - 24th August: Jack in the box (10”) – 2 blocks Week 6 - 31st August: Windblown Square (10”) – 3 blocks Week 7 - 7th September: Another star (10”) – 1 block Week 8 - 14th September: See Saw (5”) – 4 blocks Week 9 - 21st September: Dutch Rose (20”) – 1 block Week 10 - 28th September: Clay’s choice (10”) – 2 blocks Week 11 - 5th October : Tippecanoe (5”) – 4 blocks Week 12 - 12th October: Tassel Flower (20”) – 1 block Week 13 - 19th October: Crazy Ann (10”) – 2 blocks Week 14 - 26th October: Farmer’s Daughter (10”) – 1 block Week 15 - 2nd November: Pinwheel skew (5”) – 2 blocks Week 16 - 9th November: Wandering Foot (20”) – 1 block Week 17 - 16th November: Arrowheads (20”) – 1 block Week 18 - 23rd November: Grandmother's Choice (10”) – 1 block At the conclusion of the series of tutorials, we will have a two week break to allow participants to catch up on making all of the blocks. Week 20 - 7th December: Piecing your quilt top together. Week 21 - 14th December: Ideas for quilting (with two weeks given for finishing the quilting) Week 24 - 4th January: Binding your quilt Week 24 - 11th January: Link up your finished quilt. Week 25 - 18th January: Prize winners announced. The prize winners will be randomly selected from all entries. FABRIC REQUIREMENTS: For the Full Twin quilt you will need: Background fabric - 3 yards Inner border fabric - 1/2 yard Outer border fabric - 1 5/8 yards Blocks - a total of about 5 yards of fabric (ie 20 fat quarters, or 10 half-yards or a combination) I will be using my stash of Heirloom by Joel Dewberry for my version - Jess is using Ruby along with some FMF. FLICKR GROUP: We've started up a Flickr group for you all to share your fabric choices and progress as we make the blocks. We'll also update the Flickr discussions as new tutorials become available.
