I don't make formal crazy quilts with the embroidery stitches, but I do make "sew and flip" quilts, which results in a random scrappy look (see picture of frog quilt top). I am now planning a quasi crazy quilt using fragments of embroidered pillowcases and cotton tablecloths as the focus fabric in the center and vintage cotton fabrics sewn to them. I think this will make a nice old-fashioned look. I may decide to do some embroidery to decorate, but will see how it goes.

Hello I love crazy quilting it is my passion. I do silk ribbon embroidery, beading, couching. I love charms and ribbon thread and all kinds of threads. I took a class from Judith Montano once and have most of her books. I made a CQ vest and entered it in a Quilt Show and won a blue ribbon. Im also working on a CQ quilt. How long have you been CQing?
Wish I knew how to do pictures on here, would send you one.

I love crazy quilts. I made my daughter on for Christmas two years ago out of lace, velvet and applique and embroidery stitches. It really turned out beautiful. But very heavy. I also backed it with black velvet and tied it instead of quilting it due to pearls and seed beads sewn on it.

I really love crazy quilting. Have seen some beautiful crazy quilts on this forum and they were spectacular. I have done some blocks but have not done any quilts. Would like to do one though.

I've been collecting silk ties to make a crazy quilt with. I have a shopping bag full so far. Theres a thrift shop close to where I live that sells them for 25 cents each. I probably have enough by now. I found some beautiful ties at the Goodwill store here but they want $3.99 each for them, I can't afford that. Anybody else out there that plans on making a crazy quilt out of silk ties?

Love, love, love Crazy quilting. My avatar is a crazy quilt (4 corners) and an needleturn applique tree in the middle.
Here is a photo of one of my pieces. It is a 6" pillow. (close up photo)

I love cq but haven't done a quilt yet. I gathered all the old dresses from my mom, grlandma and sisters' parties and I am ready. I love embroidery and silk ribbon embroidery. I just need the courage to start sewing, I am just afraid of putting colours together that might not work and make the quilt not nice to the eye.

I'm crazy about quilting, all forms of quilting. If you plans for a visit include Africa, let me know. Nice warm summer out here now!
