Crazy Quilt 1: Quilting Is Done!

I did it! I finally finished the quilting on my crazy quilt! This is probably one of the longest projects I have ever done. I don;t even want to think about how much thread was used! It was only half mine anyways. I did about half of the work at work, so that was at least nice. I cannot wait to put on the buttons. I even have them all picked out already! Hopefully it will be done by the end of next week! The next one is going to be blacks, and greys with red thread and sashing. I’m so excited!

Crazy Quilt: Put On A Binding

I put on a binding! I’m not completely done with the quilting, but I wanted to pick out a binding. I just have about 2 more hours of work to do on it, and then I can call it a day! Well, not quite. I still have to do the buttons! I’ve got about 4 more hours of work to do on this, but then it will be done, and I can start on the next one! I’m really excited!

Crazy Quilt 1: Quilting It

I started to quilt it! I also managed to shred hundreds of documents today as well. (Not that the two are related.) So, I just settled down at my sewing machine. I’m going to hop back on the Colts quilt now, but I just really wanted to start this. It was just nagging at me to throw some shiny thread on it!

 

Crazy Quilt: Almost There

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.

Crazy Quilt 1: Almost Done

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!

 

Crazy Quilt 1: Did Some Applique

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?

 

Crazy Quilt 1: Almost Done!

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!

Working On My Crazy Quilt

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.

Equality Quilt: Finished The Top, Now To Quilt It!

I finished the piecing of the top earlier today, and I already started to pin it. I have to run a few errands, but when I come back, I’ll finish the pinning, and start the quilting! Hopefully I’ll have the binding on before I go to be tonight! Wish me luck!
