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.

More, more, more

 Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any ear worms you might encounter by reading this blog (just sayin').

And yes, there's been more done on the landscape as you can see...

The quilting is pretty much done, I've added 'Him and Me' and am working on a bank of flowers which will be augmented with embroidery, no doubt to the detriment of my arthritic fingers.

- The American Quilter's Society online Parade of Quilts has gone live and you can see all the amazing entries HERE.  Please vote for your favourites!  (you might notice I have an entry - or three).

- THIS guy made me smile.

-  THIS pattern is definitely awww-worthy.  And THESE made me laugh.

- THIS would make a cute gift.  And so would making THESE.

    4. that's what happens when i totally skip over the title of a post - it took me this long to figure out what More More More has to do with hot air balloons - not much, apparently - bwah ha ha ... how do you like it how do you like it

    5. welllll - in my somewhat addled mind the 'more' part referenced the fact I was showing more of the progress on the landscape. Oh well, I tried.

    1. I often hesitate to show the work in progress because I know it's going to change a lot before I'm done.

  3. Up, up and away..my chimney cleaner uses that name for his company! That's a cheerful scene. Your couple gets around. I wonder if they're planning a cruise.

    1. See my response to Dianne's comment above to see what song I was thinking of. Up, up and away hadn't even crossed my mind (but it should have!). Hmmm - a cruise could be a real challenge, but maybe?

  6. You really need to submit this series to some of the quilt shows. It would make a great series exhibit.

    1. Don't know if you missed checking out the first of my links? I submitted 3 to the online quilt show from the American Quilter's Society. I'll be putting a few in to our local quilt show in May as well. I'm hopeful they will want to display them as a series but that won't be up to me.

  7. Whoa. I love this. The couple are perfect - I love the color of the the skirt and jacket you're wearing there. I love the hats. And the way one of your legs is forward and pointed out as you walk. The shoes you're both wearing. Really... it's perfection. And those swirls in the sky are breath taking. Another beautiful landscape, Mary Anne. And another great addition to the Him and Me collection.
