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. On top of that, I have been able to get several other sections in progress, including these 2…
Read MoreSteampunk 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…
Read MoreChristmas is Coming Along
My Christmas crazy quilt is starting to come along. Which is really quite surprising as I haven’t been working on it anywhere near as much as I should. With my steampunk crazy quilt, I spent about an hour or so each evening, piecing my blocks and then spent another couple hours each night working on…

It’s November already, which means time to start on my Christmas sewing. OK, so I started this project a couple weeks ago. But in my defense, I am making myself another embellished crazy quilt, so I expect it to take a while to put together. Actually, I expect to be working on it until after…

With everything that’s going on in the Steampunk Crazy Quilt, I’ve had several requests for some closeups. But before I share those closeups, here’s a reminder of what the entire quilt look like. And from the back, because I love the way a quilt top looks from the back with the sun shining through…

For my next project, decided to go back to something simple, with lots of straight lines, and absolutely NO embroidery. I made myself a black and white version of the Perfect Ten quilt from Swirly Girls Design. It started with…
Read MoreQuilt 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…
Read MoreFinished 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…
Read MoreSteampunk 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…
