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"

  2. 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.

  5. 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 😁

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

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.
