"In the Garden" Crazy Quilt Block#1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ธ.ค. 2021
- Hello lovely human beings! Welcome back to my channel. This is the first block in my new crazy quilt project that is garden themed.
**I wanted to mention that if you use alcohol inks to dye your ribbons or laces as I did in this block, they are not waterproof! I don't intend to ever wash my crazy quilts, but if you decide to use that method on something that you will end up washing, it will be a disaster. So, don't. :-)

This is the crazy quilt play list that I have up: • Crazy Quilt Projects

Thank you so much for watching!!

I've been wanting to make this type of quilt since I was a child and remember a quilt like this at my grandma's farm house.
We are often inspired by those who came before us. My grandma did not crazy quilt, but she made regular quilts and she did lovely embroidery. I hope you enjoy making your quilt when you get to it. Thanks for watching! xo
BEAUTIFUL, more please.
Gorgeous. Great idea for my hexies.
Thank you! Glad I could help. :-) xo
Wishing you a very Blessed Christmas and a healthy New Year, that is beautiful. Like all your work. God Bless

I am excited to see what you will do with these blocks. Love the idea of marrying slow stitching with crazy quilting. Looking forward to more wonderful vlogs from you.

Oh my GOSH THIS is absolutely gorgeous, beautiful, devine......too many words to describe it ....You are very very talented 👌👌👌👌
Thank you, lovely lady! That is so sweet of you to say. Hope you are well. xo
Going back to see some of what I’ve missed over holidays. So much happening in my life and I’m trying to show a few things I’ve done while being MIA , but videoing is plaguing me as usual! Love this new block, but then I’ve never seen one I didn’t love! Ha happy stitching! Tfs🤗👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, Jeannie! This is for my new CQ project. Which is on the back burner at the moment because of all the other crazy things going on. :-) lol
Love how your creativity just flows out....blending slow stitching with more traditional crazy quilting just seems the perfect way to flow. Looking forward to seeing future projects, what fun!
Thank you! That was such an incredibly nice thing to say. Take care. xo
Love it. This is my kind of quilting. Thank you,I got some new stitches from your project. Keep up with more projects.❤👍👏👏👏👋👋
Thank you so much! This project has been put on the back burner since all of the craft fairs I've done this fall. But I'm going to focus on it come January and hopefully get it finished next year. Thank you for watching!! xo
This is absolutely stunning! I can’t wait to see your progress! 💕💕💕
Oh my goodness you are always laughing!!!!!! You are so talented, but I don’t understand what is always so funny.
Congratulations on your new granddaughter. My oldest grandchild who's preggers with my first great grandchild is here visiting. I'm crocheting a blanket for my great Grandson to be. I'm not as talented with sewing as you. Can't wait to see your finished product it's so lovely already!! Namesta ✌️🕉️🐞
Wow, congratulations! My oldest grandchild is 10, so hopefully I've got a few years before the greats start coming. But what fun!!! Thank you! Take care and have a great Christmas. xo
Awesome I am a newbie per se I hand quilted with my mom 40-plus years ago. trying to decide if I want to get back into it.
Thank you and thanks for watching. Personally, I love handwork of every kind. If you decide to jump in, I hope you have fun with it! xo
Lovely stitching! Thanks for sharing!💕
Thank you, Natalie! Take care and thanks for watching! xo
First, congrats Grandmom! Thank you for sharing your crazy quilt block. As always just lovely. Happy holidays to you and your family. Honestly I cannot believe we are so close to a new year!
Thank you! I'm REALLY hoping 2022 is a great year. Take care. xo

Very lovely mix of fabrics and patterns Lauretta. TYFS - Happy Holidays! 👩❤️👩💜👸🏽🎄
Thank you! Happy Holidays to you, too!! xoxo
Your work is so inspiring I would be interested in how you choose fabrics. Merry Christmas and there are too many Grandchildren. Looking forward to the swap
Thank you! I'll see about making a video on choosing fabrics. Thanks for watching and take care! xo
I just subscribed after watching this video. I have always loved Crazy Quilts but never made one. I would be happy to make sever blocks and really dress them up and frame them. I’m so glad I came across your channel. You are so talented and creative. I love, love, love your work. So beautiful ❤
Thank you so much! I have a few videos up on finished crazy quilt projects that I've made. And I also have several videos on a turn-of-the-century travel themed crazy quilt that I made. I did a video a month until it was finished. I have not finished the garden CQ. I need to get back to it! Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing. Take care.
This is going to be a beautiful quilt! I am a garden lover myself. I could spot how you mixed crazy quilting with slow stitching - what a great idea. And thanks for your tips on the backing of your blocks. Wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and happy stitching! Looking forward to your next videos! Ines xx
Thank you, Ines! Yes, Merry Christmas to you, too!! xo
Beautiful block! Thanks for the tip to dye lace with alcohol ink markers! I'll certainly give that a try.
Thank you, Darla! Just make sure that you're not going to wash the lace, because the alcohol ink is not colorfast. Take care! xo
@@sparrowhawkerdesigns Good to know! Thanks for alerting me to this!
Hello Lauretta you have been busy, it is going to be another gorgeous quilt, tfs Hugs Susanna xx 😄♥️🧵🪡
Thank you, Susanna! I really hope so. Take care! xo
😍 Love your block! I love anything garden and nature. This is going to be a beautiful quilt. Exciting news for a new granddaughter. You’ve got some fun things in the works. My beautiful beaded brooch came in the mail a few days ago. It is so gorgeous. The camera doesn’t show how beautiful it really is. Thank you again. I love it.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. 😍🎄❤️
I would love to see you do a video on beading for fabric. I picked up some glass beads and would love to see you show how you use them. Your work is always so stunning. See ya next time! Hugs. 💕🧵⛄️
Thank you, Pam! I'm so happy that your prize arrived safe and sound. Take care, sweetie. xo
This is so beautiful! 😍 I’m just getting into quilting and I really want to try sewing a crazy quilt.
Thank you! I hope you give it a try. It's so much fun. Thanks for watching!
So glad to see your name pop up on TH-cam! This is going to be a beautiful quilt - garden lover here. I bet that new granddaughter will receive a beautiful quilt. If not, my birthday is also in April - just saying! Happy Holidays to you and your family~
Thank you, Ann! Believe it or not, I've already got her quilt waiting in the wings. :-) lol Isn't that hilarious? Happy Holidays to you, too! xo
I have enjoyed following you this year and was so excited to see the first block in your new project. You are my best you tube friend! What size and how many small blocks go around the 6 center blocks? I love the slow stitch and crazy stitch together idea, so creative and interesting to look at!
Awww, that is so nice of you to say! That made my whole day. So, there will be 2 rows of 3 blocks that are 12x12. Then around the outside I will do rows of 6 inch blocks to "frame" the middle six. I hope that helps!! Have a wonderful day! xo
Aloha from Hawaii. Can you tell me what weight fusing you used? Love your tutorials. 🤗🤗😍🥰
Thank you! I can't remember the exact weight as I've thrown away the packaging, but it is a very, very lightweight fusible. I love it. There's no drag on the needles whatsoever. I will be at the store later today and I will check the brand and weight for you. Thank you for watching! xo
I notice people who work on crazy quilts sew crazy squares/blocks and then sew those squares/blocks together to make a full quilt. Why is that? Is it just because it's easier?
The old crazy quilt I have at home isn't sewn like that and I notice a lot of the originals aren't.
There actually are quite a few vintage crazy quilts sewn like this, sometimes they were sewn in strips instead of blocks, but you can't tell it unless you really study the quilt closely. I would assume the reason people do it this way is (especially if you're making anything bigger than a 2 foot by 2 foot piece) is because it is just so unwieldy. Imagine trying to embroider the center! Most of the vintage CQs were put together in sections, you just can't tell it because the maker went back over it with appliques etc, so that you get the sense it's just willy nilly when it's not. But many got really inventive and did diamonds, circles etc. If you can find a copy of Penny McMorris's book "Crazy Quilts" check it out. Maybe from the library? The book on the cover is actually put together in sections, too, you just can't tell. here's a video about that quilt. It's only 2 minutes or so long. th-cam.com/video/aidnLEQzGIg/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your question!! And thanks for watching. xo
@@sparrowhawkerdesigns Thank you so much for replying! After looking at my own crazy quilt more closely- you're right, it was broken into sections, they were just much larger! Also appreciate the book recommendation, I recently bought The Magic of Crazy Quilting by J. Marsha Michler, so I'll have to check that one out!
