MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

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.

Two M's

Today I have nothing to show you (because who wants to see the growing pile of 2 1/2" strip sets for 'The Quilts').  If you really feel the need, please feel free to scroll down to the previous post!

Instead, we will do more math and I will mumble a little bit.

I know - the thrills at Chez Magpie's Mumblings
just go on and on.

Now for the other 'M' - some more math (quit yer groanin'....if I gotta suffer, so do you!!).  Did you know that, in order to finish up all the strips sets for The Quilts, I will have to sew a minimum of 250 42 inch seams?    Did you know that is equal to 10,500 inches?  Yep, bet you were real excited to know that.  



Heaven knows you deserve blessings for 
putting up with me!!!

Today the quote is from Sr. Mary Christelle Macaluso.... "If you have made another person on this earth smile, your life has been worthwhile"

    Well, first of all, I am one of those who cut and sew. I doubt very much that I would get very far if I had to cut out the whole quilt before sewing it up. Numbers and me don't go together very well. Love the quote and all I can come up with is the program "Just for Laughs" out of Montreal. I watched it last night and there were tears in my eyes because I was laughing so much.

    Oh, the sewing of the quilt is not my favorite part. I fear if I knew how many inches I would have to sew, a bit of dread may set in! You are so brave to make those calculations. ;)

    Once again, I love your quote. Sometimes, I wonder how life would be if everyone woke up and made it their goal to see how many smiles they could inspire throughout the course of each day.

    A very interesting post MA!
    Especially the machine problem section - a good reminder.
    The blunt needle is often the culprit with me - I've got a stash of all sizes and I should note down somewhere when I change them!
    LOVE those owls and they look very straight forward!
    I think I would go dotty doing those strips - good for you!
    Love
    Shane

    I love that pattern of Ann's as well, and her ships - I have to make one of her ships!!
    Good luck with your strip-sewing... you have more fortitude than I that's for sure!

Thank you so much for leaving comments! I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy life to talk to me. It's wonderful to know that someone is actually reading my mumblings and even more fun if I can connect with you and visit your blog.
