This block was the result of a class taken in fall 2011 with Betty Pillsbury. She taught us some very interesting piecing techniques and many tips for working with velvets. Yummm! It still needs a spider for the web. I am not sure where this block will find it's final resting place but I really enjoyed making it.
Block completed in 2011. This was a practice block that I used while learning techniques in classes taught by Pam Kellogg, Betty Pillsbury, and Cheryl Anderson. This is the first crazy quilting piece that I have actually finished. It is a small wall hanging.
This is a spot for me to track my journey in Crazy Quilting. I became interested in Crazy Quilting when Betty Pillsbury spoke at the Oconomowoc Quilters Guild and offered a workshop in September 2010. She was offering additional workshops at Designers Desk in Geneva Illinois and I attended a day session in seam treatments. Betty is a fabulous teacher! Cheryl Anderson started holding monthly meetings for a group of newbies interested in crazy quilting. I have done bits and pieces over the last year and enjoyed all of it. I took additional classes from Betty Pillsbury and Pam Kellogg.
I feel that I am beginning to gather momentum and want to challenge myself to stitch more often.
Crazy Quilting offers a delightful spot to consolidate all of the "little delights" that have always appealed to me (ribbon, buttons, dying, fiber, threads, pretty fabrics, embroidery)
