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.

The mail and some mumblings

My copy of Kathy Shaw's latest crazy quilting book arrived in the mail yesterday and I must say she's outdone herself with this one.  Of course I have had a sneak peek at it all prior to publication (being a proofreader does have its perks!!), but it's a thrill to see it all together and looking so grand.


This is volume II of what is planned to be a series of four.  (Volume I - Beyond The Basics;  Volume II - Ribbon Embellishments;  Volume III - Magnificent Motifs;  and Volume IV - Beyond the Expected).  You can purchase your copy via Amazon.

 Today your quote is another one from an anonymous source... 
"Fabricologist Resource Centre" - that sounds more impressive than "fabric stash"

    I cannot believe I didn't buy this. However I was busy signing up for her latest Basic Crazy Quilt Class and buying her first book. So far I am behind in my tasks. Great new term for fabric stash.

    "Fabricologists Resource Centre" so much more impressive than the lowly fabric stash term...love it! The book does look wonderful.

    Lol! Once again you made me laugh with the fancy name for "stash". I have a feeling if we got together for a visit, my face would hurt from laughing so hard 😁

    I didn't go for this one because I absolutely hate to embroider with ribbon. I didn't know she was publishing a series. I will grab the next two as soon as the are available.

    Resource center is a great descriptor for many a closet of shame, too.I have an Outdoor and Gardening Resource Center. And one for Outer Garment and General Household Appliance use. I really like this reframing, thank you.

    The book cover looks beautiful. Fabricologists Resource Centre is a great way to disguise my hoard of fabrics!

    Thanks for the book review.
    I will now look at my 'fabricologist resource center' differently.

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.
