I have been told many times that I am crazy since I started my Snake River Log Cabin. 4,460 pieces to cut and sew. Maybe they are right?
|
oh yeah - it's a badge of honor for quilters. A lot of people just don't get it - until you give them a quilt. It changes their belief in a heartbeat, lol.
|
OHH YEAH!!
In fact in place of work it is a prerequisite and we all know it. Sane people need not apply. |
I used to work in a Psych Hospital and the gang there was alwasy telling me I was crazy! They ougtha know....
|
Before the quilting bug bit me, I also thought anyone who would take prefectly good fabric and cut it into so many small pieces, just to sew it back together, was Crazy. I have since changed my mind. It is so adictive.
Don't call anyone crazy until you have used their cutting table & rotary cutter and sat at their quilting machine. LOL |
Come on Odessa. Throw in a few pins and needles while you're at it.
|
All the time.
|
Yes, my DDIL told me I was crazy when I told her I wanted a Long Arm. Then when she saw one working at the Lancaster Quilt Show and saw the price she was convinced I am crazy.
|
crazy? Who's crazy??? I thought I was just a little further down the road when it comes to being different!!!
ah man....now I have to think of myself as crazy??? nah...I think not!! I think all those people that prefer to spend their days and nights glued to their TV sets or playing video games the ones that are CRAZY!! Me? I am just different!!!!! |
I got the same comment. Why do you cut that fabric apart just to sew it back together again? My answer. Why do you keep knocking that little white ball into hole after hole and have to chase it all over the place. No further comments.
|
I would have quipped " Oh, no this is what keeps me sane" OUCH!! grin

Totally NOT a quilter answer!
|
I've been told by other quilters I was crazy when they saw the tiny pieces in the pp blocks I made. Or fusing tiny triangles cut from strips that were 1/4" wide.

This is just one of the many reasons I love this site - I find out I'm not the only crazy one.
|
We are as crazy as the man who seeds, fertilizes and waters his lawn just so he has something to mow all summer! And let's not even talk about the cost of all the gadgets he buys for his 'hobby'.
We are crazy enough to take a perfectly good piece of fabric, cut it all up and sew it back together and end up with a beautiful creation that is functional to boot! For me it's therapy - better than watching TV all day long. |

Yes, I will sit for hours, cutting up perfectly good fabric, sewing it back together and pressing it, but I will never jump out of a perfectly good airplane only to slowly float(hopefully) to the ground with the aid of a big square of fabric. Call me crazy, hey, don't we have a quilt named after us?

Now I know finally @ 77 I'm "creative" :lol: :lol: :lol: |
your with good company

What does he do for fun?? It would be great if he were a golfer! Imagine trying to hit a little ball with a stick and making it go into a hole....and paying to do it!!!

Let's see what he says about THAT! Does that make me crazy? Hmmmmm......methinks NOT! Just kidding of course but dang it's soooo tempting. |
OH yeah lots of times but I usually think that of the person that says it to me too. I think we all have our own little bit of crazy in us.
|
Picture please!!
|
Where, how and why some quilts are called *crazy* quilts!
|
More often than not :?
|
YES, QUILT CRAZY, an honorable title!! :lol:
|
I'm not crazy, I love cutting up fabric and sewing it back together. You are not crazy either.
|
by my husband, everyday but then what does he know?
|
Wellll if it we didn't have "crazy" people with "crazy" ideas we wouldn't have electricity, TV, computers, cars, etc.
|
I have done quilts with so many little squares that I thought that I was crazy without anyone having to tell me. I sewed them together anyway!
|
Weeeellllll, I am glad you admitted it, and came out of the closet. Welcome to our world.
|
I've been told I'm crazy many times and for various reasons. Sometimes it was not far from the truth.
|
I'm laughing, too. Crazy - yup, that's me and the rest of us quilters. Once you get into the crazy mode, it slips over into the rest of your life and what fun that is!!
|
My sister-in-law thinks I'm crazy to cut material apart then sew it back together then I told her I think she is crazy to buy yarn and knit socks...to me it's the same difference just a different talent!
|
All the time when It comes to my quilting and my quilts! It is okay to be crazy!!!! about quilting
|
Crazy - yep. But I feel that I'm just being creative and having fun in the process.
|
Well, that's why I am a crazy quilter...gives me loads of lattitude!!!!!!!!
