Charted Crazy Quilt Seam Treatments
Again, I couldn't squeeze in any stitching time yesterday. I will be stitching today! But I had this cool idea to chart out some seam treatments for crazy quilts. After all, I'm a professional charted pattern designer and I have the software!
Then this morning, I was reading Sharon's In A Minute Ago blog and she's decided to do a series of posts regarding seam treatments, 1 each day for 100 days. What a cool idea! Be sure to check out her blog!
I can't say that I can promise a new seam treatment everyday for the next 100 days. But I do think it would be fun to do a couple a week, esp. on days when I don't have any stitching to share.
So here are my first 2 charted seam treatments:
Finished width on 8.5 count waste canvas will be approx. 1 3/8 inches.
Finished width on 8.5 count waste canvas will be approx. 3/4 inches.
I usually pin my waste canvas to my block, running one of the blue lines in the waste canvas along the seam. You can repeat the pattern as many times as needed to cover the seam. When completed, pull the waste canvas out one thread at a time.
I also usually use #5 Perle Cotton but feel free to use whatever threads you have.
Click on the photos to go to my Flickr album where you can download a large version.
Feel free to embellish like crazy! And I would love to see photos if you use these patterns!

New Stitcher's Blog
I don't have any stitching to share today. I had wanted to sew up some more 5 inch blocks but didn't get to it yesterday. I had to wanted to stitch on the Strawberry block but didn't manage to make time for that either.
So today, I'll point you in the direction of Lillian's blog, Crazyseoulsister. Lillian lives in Korea and has shared some beautiful photos of her area along with some of her stitching. In fact, she just started a new crazy quilt project so please hop over to check out her blog.

Basket Kitten 3 Stitching Complete!
I finished this up last night. These small blocks do work up kind of quickly if you can sit still long enough to work on them!
I had wanted to sew up a few more 5 inch blocks today but I don't know if I'll have time. Still have some yard work to do and that always and forever pile of laundry!
Guess I'll go back to the Strawberry block for the time being.
