The beginnings of my Crazy Quilt pillow.



This is the start of my crazy quilt pillow. You cant really see the

embroidery ( that's probably a good thing since I need a lot more practice.) I really enjoy this,, I'm learning new stitches and I even did a couple of things with silk ribbon!, not to mention looking for the little things to add to it like buttons etc.!So much fun.

  1. OK Wendy! You're putting me to shame! I clicked on the picture to enlarge it, and I love the ribbon embroidery. Now I HAVE to get the book!

  5. It looks very pretty. One thing I saw the other day on TV is that if you use a 5 sided odd shaped block as the starting block, the crazy quilt design grows more easily. I only tell you this because I started a crazy quilt block and got kinda stuck, years ago.
