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.

Maybe an hour

 Yes, my sewing room stayed tidy for about an hour and then I promptly messed it up.  I pawed through all my neatly folded fabrics in search of cottons I can use to make one of THESE.  I'm hoping I can use some of my crazy quilted blocks somehow, plus a bunch of 2 1/2" strips I cut.  Sometimes when it's cold my shoulders and upper arms aren't happy, but I don't want a full sweater or a shawl that falls off.  Maybe this will be the answer.  You can see some examples HERE.

- THIS takes you to a PDF file for something cute, and quick, to make for gifts.

- There are a bunch of links HERE for foodie gifts.

- And HERE's another collection of gift ideas.

Today's quote is from Jane Goodall..."What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make"

  1. Funny you should have mentioned using up quilt blocks. I just started organizing pinloom woven squares into -- a shoulder shawl! Similar idea.

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.
