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 glimpse

I'm currently working on adding the embroidery aspect of the landscape and this is an in-progress photo.  It will change somewhat yet but you can get the general idea I think.


- THIS is so cute (and another thing that would make a perfect gift if coupled with a nice mug)

- THIS caught my eye - might have to test it out!

- I know THIS is a commercial pattern, but it made me laugh so I had to let you enjoy it too.

- What to do with empty thread spools?  How about making some of THESE?  They'd be fun to give to your sewing friends.

- Nann sent me THIS and I had to share!  Hard to believe they're done with thread!

Today's quote...

    1. Funny how some of my landscapes *need* embroidery details and others don't. This one obviously did!

  3. I like the embroidery so much. O had a feeling there would be flowers around the fence.

  6. Love a good fence!
    The spools are a great project. I’m thinking Christmas ornaments.
