So I've joined the Scott County Crazy Quilters this year. They meet three times in the spring and three times in the second half of the year - August, September, and October. I'm still mostly doing it "on my own" by trying to copy from my books. (So far, my main book is Creative Stitching, second edition, by Sue Spargo.) But it's nice to have their encouragement, experience, and example as I stitch. The meeting last week means it will be six months before I meet with them again. I plan to bring my "bin" of crazy quilt stuff up to the lake so I can stitch when I'm up there.
Last week, I added all the green parts.
The heart is a velvet-feeling fabric and the stitch around it is called a "closed fly stitch." I used a super thin ribbon as thread.
The fuzzy green thread at top right is not done yet. I ran out of time!
I took pictures of a finished quilt another person brought. Looking at it gave me ideas. But I've decided I don't want to post those pictures here.
I also did a big sort and organize in my studio. There's a lot more to do, but at least it's less cluttered. And I realized that I have a LOT of fabric!!! I need to stop grabbing things off the "free" table and / or sew a lot more!
I think I added the word "curve" to my title because I'm in a definite learning curve with this!
