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.

Progress, perhaps unseen?

 I spent most of Friday and Saturday quilting the latest landscape and I'm still not done.  Of course spending an inordinate amount of time wrestling with some thread that my machine simply didn't like factored into my time frame.  There's still one section of the fields to do, as well as the sky.  Then it's time to add the details!


- THIS takes you to a link to download a tutorial for making really nice potholders.

- There's a fun project HERE that you might like to try.

- THIS is awww-worthy because I love dragons (hopefully it's not an AI-generated pattern...so hard to tell these days).

- It seems if you're a knitter there's always something new to learn and THIS might be helpful.

Today's quote..."Don't do something permanently stupid just because you're temporarily upset"

    1. Good! I was afraid it wouldn't show up in the photo. I think you're glad of the rain?

  2. Those pot holders do look very neat and useful. I often use my bowl cozies for pot holders now, because they are always within reach. But they don't have pockets for my fingers.

    1. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with all the stitching but when I compare the finished project with pictures from the beginning it is noticeable.

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.
