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.

At the risk of boring you beyond recall!

This post is for my own benefit as much as anything, but I thought I'd share pictures of each of the 'Courtship' blocks all together in one place.  So...here goes....








You can click on each of the pictures to embiggen them (and I *think* you can double-click to embiggen them even further).  For those of you who missed my post yesterday, scroll down and you can see  the reveal of the entire piece.

Today our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones in Manchester and in my search for a quote to share, I turned to one of my favourite authors, Ralph Waldo Emerson....."Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world"


We simply can't let them win.

  6. How wonderfully blissful revisiting your sublime hexagons, again, Mary Anne! I have "embiggen" them, as you would say, and have slowly absorbed each exquisite detail. I sit here amazed at the time, artistry and gorgeous imaginations you have so lovingly stitched; as this is a work of love. I could happily gaze upon your Courtship hexagons forever. =) Though I tried, I cannot choose a favourite as all are exquisitely amazing in their own way. Much applause is happening down here......can you hear it??

  9. Good Morning!! I just love looking at your blocks. My favorite thing about your style is your ability to create not just exquisite seams, but your filler motifs and how you incorporate buttons, beads and other doodads. These are all so pretty.

  11. Your CQ "Courtship" blocks are so stunning. Do you ever keep track of the countless hours you work on them? They are Priceless and Heirloom Treasures. The entire quilt turned out Beautifully. Fun links and I love the felt flower pincushions. So much sadness and hate in our world. Good MUST conquer evil. Prayers and Healing for all in Manchester. <3

  13. These are all stunning! You do beautiful work.

    The day after the attack in Manchester, I heard a radio station that focused solely on the way complete strangers pulled together to help. The stories ranged from a homeless man that administered first aid, to cab drivers offering free rides in the aftermath. If the media only focused on the positive ways terrorist attacks pull communities together, I wonder if we'd see fewer attacks... My hearts and prayers are everyone affected.
