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.

Too much fun!

 I don't know if it's possible to have too much fun, but I can say I did while I was working on that previous landscape....so....I started another one (of course I did, would you expect anything else?).  Here's the beginning....


- THIS is a fun project that is no-calorie!!

- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS artist.

- Some of you might find THIS of interest.

- If you like crazy quilting and embroidery, perhaps THIS interview might interest you.

Today's quote is from Aristotle..."It is also in the interests of the tyrant to make his subjects poor - the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting"

  1. Aristotle knew his stuff. And of course there's a new landscape in the works! You're all warmed up now.

    1. I've enjoyed every landscape I've done and can't see quitting anytime soon. There's too many great vistas out there to try to recreate.

    Sherryofcreateology: Is there a group for Quilted Landscapes?…just in case you need an intervention? Your newest looks very interesting. You my friend are quite the enabler for me. I really liked what Jenny Clouston creates. I am still learning my watercolor journey and enjoying it. I just never seem to have enough time…same old story. Happy Weekend…

    1. I'm with you in never having enough time for the things we enjoy. And yes, there SHOULD be a 12-step group!

  9. Ooooh snow! Looks like the perfect thing to stitch in this hot weather - at least it's hot down here in Indiana.

    1. Hot here too so looking at snow is probably a good thing.

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.
