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.

Final details

I'm in the process now of adding the final details to the crazy quilted hussif project.  This one isn't as heavily embroidered as most that I do, but I chose to showcase some of the pretty fabrics I was able to use for piecing it. 


I have stitched down the cat (former brooch) and have added the gold zodiac disc.  I'm not sure of the origins of the disc - it seems too large to be used for earrings.  I can't even remember how I came to have it in my stash.  The sweet little fabric face was harvested from a pincushion and found a spot in the center of the disc.  The seam to the left is some pre-made gimp trim that originally had beads attached to it.  The fan came is a photo of a real handpainted fan that was gifted to us by the recipients grandmother. 

Today's quote comes from an unknown source... "The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man"

    Hello Mary Anne! I love how this is coming along... your daughter-in-love is going to love it too. I think it is fantastic that you add all sorts of trinkets that have come from different backgrounds.... I am going to have to start collecting some to put on my crazy quilt blocks! Have a lovely weekend! :) x

    I spent several enjoyable moments examining your work closely. It is fascinating! You have such a professional touch - workmanship is excellent! So much fun finding the cat, the panda and the various faces - and then there's Nemo! I love your skill!

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.
