A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

This is the final filler section on block four...


And here is the completed block...




Mumblings of the day...

- THIS tutorial shows  a mini-ironing board that looks like it would be a great addition to a sewing space.  HERE's one that's even less work to create.

- HERE's a really interesting shawl pattern that would be perfect to use up some stash yarns.  And HERE's another really pretty one!

- Baby shoes should ALL be THIS cute!!

- There's a great post HERE about how to set your sewing machine up for thread drawing.

Today the quote is from George Carlin..."Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body"

  1. What a lovely block! I really struggle using buttons and love the way you made a bouquet with some. The rose is another favorite, but the entire block is just lovely. The quote is spot on, too!
