Virtual Craft Night Ups My Progress

Thanks to 2 evenings of Virtual Craft Night over the long holiday, I’ve made amazing progress on my Christmas Crazy Quilt.  I’ve managed to piece together, embellish and faux sash the top left quarter of my quilt.

Steampunk Crazy Quilt Finished

As you may remember, I finished steampunk crazy quilt top last month.  When it was finished, I set about looking for a quilter willing to do the quilting for me.  Even though all I wanted for the quilting was something simple, outlining of a few of the blocks, none of the local quilters wanted to…

Christmas Sewing

Quilt Display and Storage

I consider myself a fairly new quilter, having only been doing it for a couple of years.  However, I also seem to be fairly prolific in the number of quilts that I have made in that time.  At my house, I currently display quilts on an old fashioned quilt rack. Needless to say, it’s getting…

Finished Steampunk Top

It took all weekend, but I managed to finish up my Steampunk themed crazy quilt top. It uses lots of great fabrics, including the Victorian Dream line from Roberta Morales for Quilting Treasures, some beautiful hand-dyed fabrics from Just Plain Laine, and of course, lots of scrap and stash fabrics. I am in love with…

Steampunk Crazy Quilt Progress

My steampunk crazy quilt project is officially halfway complete!  I have 2 rows sewn together. The rows still aren’t attached to each other. First, because I am not sure what order my rows will need to be in to make the final quilt look best and, second because I don’t have enough bias tape to…
