Crazy Quilting – Piecing
.
I still have an owl painting to finish, but I didn’t want to get too far behind in my Artful Gathering class…Crazy Quilting 101. This week, I did the piecing for my crazy quilt pouch. The piecing was done in two rounds.
Â
Round 1
Â
Round 2
Next week, I’ll apply lace and trim and add some embroidery stitches.
Crazy quilting refers to the patchwork that lacks the repeating motifs of traditional quilting. Crazy quilting has a haphazard look to it. Another feature of crazy quilts is the addition of embellishments on the patches and seams.
Session Two (July 15-August 25) is now open for registration.
Make sure you check out Dip-Dip and The Bridge. Lynne is featuring pictures of The Blogville Ladies Crochet Society members’ first project…the cotton dishcloth. Grab a crochet hook and join us!
One last thing…I heard about this from Dip, Bridge & Elliot. Pedigree is sponsoring a “Write a Post, Save a Dog” campaign.  For every blog post about the campaign between now and June 30th, Pedigree will donate a 17 pound bag of food to a shelter.  One bag per blog up to 450 bags. Now how easy is that. If you have a blog, grab the badge, post by Saturday, June 30th, and add your post URL to the linky over at Tales and Tails. You’ll help feed a pup who is waiting for their forever home.

WE are very impressed with your dishcloths! Deccy x
Love the dishcloths! The quilting pieces are really pretty. I may try and do some quilting when I get back home. I will have to watch you to see how to do it.
You are so talented!
Your pal, Pip
I love the crazy quilt idea–can’t wait to see the finished product!
Oh, that quilting is lovely! If I did any quilting, it would definitely be haphazard, LOL.
Your dishcloths are so good, I can’t believe you are a new crocheter, they are so neat. Hope lots more people join in the potholder making.
Isn’t that a great cause with Pedigree, we are all going to fill lots of dog’s tummies!

Your quilt project is looking beautiful! I love your color choices. I’m also quite impressed with your dishcloths! You’re obviously much handier than I am!
