Lovely crazy quilts!! Really special work from you all! I am having "fearful fun" as I work on mine. What a stretch for me and I find that I don't have lots of embellishments on hand. I think I am out of my element this month, but that is probably good for me as I always admire crazy quilt work, and what's better than giving it a try? But, my poor partner.

Anyway, it doesn't have embroider work but does have some lace and a few embellishments. Hope you like it!

first of all, Back Off, Brenda21!! lol, i'm her partner this month!! 
you can be krystyna's partner another month! maybe if you beg with very sincere grovelling i will let you come look at it, for a reasonable fee, of course! 
i have decided i need better drugs!! i worked for hours last night on your dq, krystyna, and in the light of day it looks horrible!!!
i will salvage anything i can and start over. my idea was sincere, but you would totally wonder at my lack of standards. Just for the record i do have standards, they are pitifully low, but i do have them! i had every good intention of getting your dq done and out in plenty of time. grrrrr, so frustrated! you are making a strong argument for an embroidery machine. it will be on my someday list. i have a new sm and fabrics and patterns, and shelves and clear boxes, etc. and so far all i've done is make pieces and a few baby quilts. pretty expensive per piece at this rate!! i just never seem to get anything done. anyone have any motivational tips to pass on to me? i think the part i like best is the fabric shopping! then i get sort of bogged down and everything grinds to a halt. maybe i should just wrap myself in the beautiful fabrics and be done with it. ok, that was my whine with dinner. am i the only one? and i really like making dqs and swap blocks and other swaps. just don't actually get to the finished quilts . but do not despair, krystyna, your dq will be made and mailed by monday! with a smile and love!
