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.

Yikes!

 I'm wondering if I'm quite sane (and no, you don't need to chime in on that!!) to cut a small mountain of 5" fabric squares and then sew them together, do a blanket stitch around for a base and then crochet around each block.  The piles I thought I had have multiplied ten-fold and now I have these on my sewing table.  


Some are sewn together but most are waiting their turn under the needle on the sewing machine and then hours of hand stitching before I can crochet them together.  Methinks this is going to be a long, long, long project!

- I'm not sure that I like THESE because I think they're rather creepy but in a cute way.  But....while I was there I saw THIS and you know I'd like it.  I would recommend a poke through all the categories on her site...so many interesting things to see and try (go HERE for her home page)

- I guess it's never too soon to think about Christmas ornaments and THIS caught my eye.  I've seen them made from fabric but never paper.

- THESE would be most welcome for those who feel the cold or for people in nursing homes.  

Today's quote..."Let's be good to people for no reason, simply because kindness can make someone's day a little brighter"

  1. This reminds me of the little bag of linen squares I have, waiting to be stitched and crocheted... You're certainly further on, and more ambitious.

    1. When I get a wild hare to do something I get on it. Sadly I know myself well enough that by the time I get about half way through there will start to be many squirrel moments.

  2. Good on you getting all that cutting done--it does look like a long term project--that'll be good through the Winter months....
    Very windy here today with that cold front sweeping over us--expecting really low temps tomorrow...hugs, Julierose

    1. Once the cutting and machine stitching is done I can pick it up and work on it anywhere. It will keep me busy for awhile I think.

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.
