I finished putting on the border last night. I had done the embroidery at work, but I didn’t get a chance to post those pictures last night. I’ve got two or three more things to put on to jazz it up, and then the buttons! Should I put the buttons on before I quilt it, or after? I’m not really sure. This is my first crazy quilt.

Sorry for the lack of posts, life has been super busy these past few days! Work is awesome, but life outside work is just plain time consuming! Someday, my personal life will be as organized as the fabrics in closet…. First I guess I have to organize those too.
Anyways, here is my progress on my crazy quilt! I finished the piecing, and now I am doing the embroidery and the borders. I’ve did some embroidery today at work, so I’ll post those pictures later. Enjoy the awesomeness that is my crazy quilt! I also added some gold thread for a special lady who requested it! I hope she enjoys it!
I decided my crazy quilt needed some applique to make it POP! I added some green and orange, and then did the satin stitch in blue. Now, I just have to finish the satin stitches, and cut my squares and do the embroidery! Not too shabby so far! What do you guys and gals think?
I’ve been working on it at work the past few days and here is what I have to far. I really can’t do much of it at home since none of my machines have fancy decorative stitches, but it’s a project for work anyways. Eventually I’ll be teaching a class on it, and I’m super excited for that to happen! I’ve even got the scraps all cut for the next one!
I’ve been doing this at work, and took it home to do a little bit of work on it. Eventually I will be teaching a class on how to make one, so I better get it right! I love all of the fun computerized machines, because I can do all of these awesome stitches! I’m just in love with it! I cannot wait to make more cuts into it, and fill it with more fabric scraps! I love the Orange, Yellow, and Green color scheme, and the Blue embroidery thread really sets it off! Hopefully it will look a little bit crazier by tomorrow.
Today at work I got cracking on this crazy quilt! I want to eventually teach a class on it, so I’m trying to get it done by next week, so I can get together a class plan. I started to piece strips and scraps together, and then did some decorative stitches on it. Now if only I could find the motivation to quilt the Zelda Commission on my sewing table!
I currently have 2 commissions going at the moment. One I am waiting on fabric for, and the other is the Zelda Commission that I ave to quilt this weekend. However, after those, I think I might do a crazy quilt. I’ve never done one before, but we need some samples at work, and I think it would really show off the embroidery machines. What do you guys think? I’m not going to lie, I’m not even sure where to start with a crazy quilt, but I’m sure I’ll figure it out!
