Crazy Quilting and Lace



I think I am truly addicted to crazy quilting! This is a project I'm working on for my sister . I couldn't get any lace that was dark enough so I dyed it following the directions out of a book. I love how it turned out! I just love the colors in this so I'll have to make myself a pillow or something out of the left over fabric! See I don't even finish one project and my mind is going onto the next!! ( My sisters and friends say I talk the same way...) Have a great day ..week...month

    Thanks, Wendy, for your comment on my blog. I came by for a visit on yours. So sweet! I love your crazy quilt and Claire is a little doll. And how nice it must be to live where you do (at least during the summer) so that you can actually enjoy summer! Thanks for the bit of joy this morning!

    Hi Wendy~ so nice you stopped in. I love hearing from you. The crazy quilting there is beautiful. It does get addicting and especially the embelishments. Hope you will share it with us when you finish.
    Have a wonderful night.

    Hi Wendy~
    Use the morning's leftover coffee. I hate to waste it. :)
    Pour onto a large platter or into a bowl.
    Add tags, lace, whatnot. Soak. (Add vanilla for yumminess!)
    Drip dry. Or let coffee evaporate on its own for a darker, more antiquey, aged look.
    No recipe. No rules.
    I never actually researched it.
    Mostly trial & error, but I love the look!
    Have fun experimenting~

    p.s. when i dry my tags in the sun, they come out nice and glossy!?!!! :)
