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.

Lucky me!

 A few weeks ago I played along with the Villa Rosa Designs blog hop and ended up being one of the extremely lucky winners.  I had nearly forgotten about it and was surprised when this was sitting on my doorstep yesterday....



This is 12 fat quarters of hand-dyed Indah batiks!  Wow - I certainly wasn't expecting such a great prize.  Now to ponder what I might want to make with them!!

- I might have to make one of THESE for our littlest grandie.

- If you'd like to see some of the award-winning quilts from Paducah, have a look HERE.

- Many of the artworks by THIS artist made me smile.  

- THIS is another awwww-worthy thing!

- THIS is a rather nice table-topper.

The quote today is from Ricky Gervais..."The world began to crumble when feelings started overruling facts"

    1. I love the colourway too, but not sure (yet!) what I will do with them. I'm not a 'sane' quilter so it will have to be something creative. Thinking cap is on!

    1. It's not colours that will work in a landscape but there are plenty of other possibilities out there. Too many!!

    1. Thank you! I don't know about something for myself because the colours don't 'fit' in any of our rooms. I'm thinking about using it to make either one (or more) gifts. I'm looking for pattern ideas and will go from there.
