I've launched my new hobby. While I was waiting to recieve the small silk package from
Delectable Mountain Cloth, I started working on a practice Crazy Quilt. I didn't want to ruin my silks with ignorance. I need practice with piecing, embroidery, layout and just figuring out how the whole crazy quilt thing works. I'm using
Allie Aller's Crazy Quilting for direction. This is just a part of my block so far. I'm calling it my crazy quilting sampler:
My sewing machine has been acting up whenever I try to do something fancy so off to the shop it went for maintenance. Now I'm in withdrawals and having to do all my stitching by hand. Very time consuming!
Can't wait to get started with these.

Hand stitching a quilt does sound crazy, but I'm sure that's not what you mean by crazy quilting. Have you figured out what you are going to do with the fabric you bought when you came to visit me?
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going to make some leaves with the green fabric but I'm waiting for another project to use the other fabrics. I can't make the leaves until my sewing machine is back.
