- Hello, it's me, Crazy Rebecca Dances With Pit Bulls. Thank for coming and welcome to a proper Crazy Quilt Friday. A long time ago, maybe 2012, I learned how to make this tree from the Yahoo group I was in, You need 18 strands of #5 Pearl cotton cut into 24-25" lengths, Thread a sharp tapestry needle with the same thread and follow along.

I felt you “threading “ pain. The more I watch you the more I love you. You are real and a refreshing breath of air in a world that can seem so fake. Thank you.
Thank you Trixie. I have been so unmotivated lately. I keep saying "Rebecca you need to get some crazy quilting done" Then I continue to sit in my chair and listen to podcasts and crochet. Ugh.
@@danceswithpitbulls Crocheting is good too. I still have some of your old crazy quilt videos to watch so I’m good. I joined your dances with pit bulls secret club and posted my first crazy quilt Square which I turned into a pillow. 2021 is going to be the year I make my very first crazy quilt. I’ve been saving scraps long enough.
I'm going to make one of these trees and applique leaves to it. Awesome tutorial. Even the needle threading. Everyone has problems at some point and it's nice to know we're not alone.
I would love to see your tree when it is done!
Thank you so much dear Rebecca
The quilt is so pretty👍👍💫💫💥💝
Yep gonna be fabulous in all its crazyness!
That is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks- I hope I remember how to do it hahahaha I should practice!
!!!!!!!Pero que cosa "TANNNNN BONITAAAAAA", es usted una gra "CREADORA".
Gracias por regalar alegrías, D. Rebeca.
Gracias amiga, yo te amo!
I'm starting to attempt to make my first crazy quilt. I've watched all your videos and love them. You make it look so easy. I've saved all your videos so I can use them as reference. Thank you so very much for sharing.
This makes me very happy. Please keep me informed!
I like the white tree just like it is without leaves. You do beautiful work
I think I left it plain. I will have to check the Whackadoodle quilt top to be sure.
One of the coolest tutorials I must say👏👏can’t wait to try it💜💜💜
Let me know if you do try it!
It looks lovely and simple to do.
it's easy once you get going on it.
Awesome ! ! ! Your a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
Thank you Doreen, it's worth the effort- your friends and family will be amazed!
Blah, blah, blah, lol. Thanks for showing the back of the square while you are working. Mine look like a thread explosion, I wasn't sure if I was too messy.
Love the bracelets!
OMG, rice shaped beads in fall colors for an autumn look would be devine!
I wonder if I have any in those colors. I am thinking not but maybe I can get some when my 100things challenge is over. I have a ton of beads to use anyway
I will anchor everything with knit stabilizer before I sew the blocks together.
Hello dear Rebeckka!
I have been watching your tutorial every day for 2 weeks now and am fascinated and enthusiastic about your work. Here in Germany, crasy patchwork is not that common, which is a shame because it is a great creative field that you simply implement beautifully and explain well. Thank you for your great videos!
I hope you will spark interest in Crazy Quilting in Germany! Thank you for taking time to tell me that you have been watching
@@danceswithpitbulls I hope that I have a little of your wonderful creativity and the stamina to achieve your skills. Even if I didn't want to, I love to watch them. It's like sitting next to a friend and watching and listening to her. A great treasure at such times!
I really empathize with the threading needles. A total pain! This is a really neat demo. I love it! I’m going to do this on mine.
I have watched all your previous Crazy Quilt videos & am really encouraged that I can use the peach skin material, mostly from clothing / thrift store finds etc. That I have been gathering for my Crazy. It will probably take forever for me to do it, (my husband is severely disabled so I’m his 24/7 caregiver & have very little time to myself,) but when I get started I will share it with you...
I had questions about cleaning one & really appreciated your info on that. So I am going to embellish gently (mostly with stitching, small beads & buttons so I can wash it if & when. Thank you so much, l love ❤️ your work. Beautiful!
This comment was hiding from me for some reason! I just now saw it. The only thing about the peach skin fabric is that they can be hard to sew through when embellishing so use the sharpest needle you can. Looking forward to any progress you make and glad you understand the precarious nature of washing crazy quilts lol
Fabulous! All kinds of possibilities. A forest, perhaps. I always have needle threaders handy. Weird thing is, I never have a problem threading the sewing machine. But holding a needle? It’s like Blind Man’s Bluff or something. lol. THANKS!
oooh a forest of lovely little twisted thread trees! I should have needle threaders but of course I don't. I can thread the sewing machine quickly too- just this heavy thread giving me grief
Beautiful! I love trees
Me too! I need to do another one of these.
Love this idea! TFS!
I showed my whackadoodle quilt this weekend. It has this tree and 3 others on it and everyone loved it.
SO COOL!!!! LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
I have to admit, it IS COOL!!!
It is beautiful
Have missed you, hope all is well. Great to see you and all your creativity!!!
Thanks Rene
Fantastic tutorial-loved it-thank you
You’re welcome 😊 Let me know if you make a tree!
You are just a great attest. I am inspired to do this.
You can do it! Amaze your friends and family lol
Thank you for sharing 😁
My pleasure 😊 isn't the tree fabulous? I have this one andtwo others in my Whackadoodle quilt
That is so cool looking!!
Yeah I am still in love with these trees
Awesome tree, love it.
Thank you dear!
I have such a fascination for trees. I absolutely loved this video. Thank you very much 😘
Glad you enjoyed it! A co-worked remarked he wanted a quilt with trees all over it. I told him to get busy!
Sigh... it is beautiful. On my to do list for my nature crazy quilt. Thank you for the inspiration❣
It will be fabulous on a nature quilt.
Tengo que intentar hacer , mejor dicho, imitar su obra de arte.
I hope you do! Isn't it pretty?
I'm working on a quilt square with a canoe paddling in a pond and trees around, Going to try this. Thanks.
That sounds COOL! Hope you share it when you finish.
This is really neat!!
Thanks- I really love how the trees look!
A sun? Yes please!
Sunshine came softly through my window today.... not really, it's been gray for days.
Love it! You inspire me to branch out!😉
hahahahahaha I see what you did there xoxoxox
This is so very cool ,love it . Thank you for sharing.
Jan Glines suggested a forest of them I might have to try!
Awesomeness Rebecca! I love your tree.❤️❤️ You make it look so easy. TFS ❤️
They are pretty easy once you work your way through the first one. I hope you try it!
Love it!!!! I will definitely have to try this!! Will be saving this video in my watch later so I can go back and see how it's done!!!
I have a black tree that needs finished. I love how they look.
I wanted to share my crazy quilt pillow that I made using your video. I absolutely love it!!! I also made your Tree of Life block in both spring and winter blocks. I'd love to show these to you also. How do I actually post a picture?
Join the Facebook Group and share the pics there. We would love to see them!
I love the tree I might do that on the squares I am working on for my sister if you didn't mind
Of course I don't mind, I want you to do it!!!!
Rebecca, you do such amazing work! everything i seen so far is beautiful! I have a question for you. I'm working on a quilt for my kids and i suck at embroidering , Do you have any videos on doing letters or words for embroidery. I tried 3 times to do some lettering in the quilts and it comes out all crazy. could use some help. thank you!
I do not have a video on that but let me see what I can do. I have been needing some inspiration to do more crazy quilt videos.
You know, it was fun until you started threading your needle....
Kidding! I'm kidding! :)
I get it on the switching numbers. I do that too. I also have a hard time with left and right and I felt kind of dumb for years until I learned that it is a form of dyslexia.
I don't think I'll be doing it, but that tree is beautiful.
You're so very funny Fawnieballz lol
Same method makes wicked lightning.
O.M.G. I will be trying that lol Thank you!
Я тоже хочу такое дерево сделать, мне понравилось
Это легко, если вы начнете. Не сдавайся, ты справишься!
@@danceswithpitbulls думаю, у меня получится, я люблю такую мелкую работу, спасибо
How many strands does the skein have and how many did it divide???
It has way more than you need. You can probably get two trees from one skein. You need 18 strands at 25"
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍❤️
this looks awfully difficult, i'm not sure i'm going to venture...
anne de guernon it does take some concentration
