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.

Another beginning

 Of course you knew it wouldn't be long before I started on another landscape although why I do is rather silly in the grand scheme of things.  They are simply piling up and I sometimes wonder what our kids will do with them when I'm no longer here.  Oh well, it's going to be their problem!  In the meantime I love making them so see no reason to quit now.  The photo I'm using for inspiration is this one...

I have a thought for how to include the 'Him and Me' old couple in the scene.  Will it work?  Time will tell!!

btw - if you're interested in the pieces I have available for sale, feel free to check the 'Landscapes For Sale' section in my sidebar.  

- I really need to test THIS method out on my cutting mat.

- Have a peek at what THIS artist does!

- And THIS one too!!!

- THIS is one of my awww-worthy things.

    1. I definitely won't care what happens to them when I'm gone, that's for sure.

  5. No one in my family wants any more quilts but I keep making them anyway. I don't care. It won't be my problem when I'm gone! LOL! Every few years I send out a message to friends and family with a list of what's available and pass on whatever someone wants. Everything else goes back in the finished projects closet.
