Crazy Quilt Supplies

I've been busy working on my Crazy Quilt Resources list.  I added a few more crazy quilters to the list of artists and I started on the Crazy Quilt Supplies list.  If there are any artists that I missed or any CQ supply sites that you order from or would like me to include, drop me an email and I'll add them later this week.

I still have a lot of things to add so I'm just doing it a little bit at a time.

This morning, I sewed up my Halloween Pillow so I'll do the hand finishing on that later today.  For now, I've been stitching on this Crazy Quilt Christmas Purse:

I'm going to have to run up to JoAnn's for some purse handles for this one. I don't think I have any extras in my stash now.

Halloween Pillow

Just a quick little update for today everyone.  This is my current work in progress:

I'll be adding beads to those little leaves next.  But first......laundry.  Always laundry!

Seasonal Door Hangers Are Done!

I worked on the list of Crazy Quilt Artists some more today so be sure to check out the Crazy Quilting Resources tab at the top of my blog.  Follow the links for beautiful CQ eye candy!  Next week I'll be working on the Crazy Quilt Supply Resources.  If I'm missing anyone, just email me your name and link and I'll gladly add you to the list.

For now, I have my latest batch of Seasonal Door Hangers to share:

All are available in my Etsy shop.

Well, I've been sitting here at the computer for 6 hours so I'm off to make some dinner and watch the Cubs game.

Crazy Quilt Artists

I've spent the last couple of hours working on my list of Crazy Quilt Artists under the Crazy Quilting Resources tab at the top of my blog.  If you are a crazy quilter with a blog or photo site, please email me with your name and link and I will gladly add you to the list.

Also, if you know of any crazy quilter sites, again, email the name and link to me!!!

Thanks to Kathy Shaw, I've decided to add a few more categories to the list.  Along with CQ Artists, Supplies, Tutorials and CQ Work for Purchase, there will also be a list of classes/teachers both online and offline, CQ Books, CQ Inspiration and CQ Stitching Groups.

I'll add these as I can.  I plan to create the most comprehensive Crazy Quilt Resource list available online!

In other news, here's a little update on my Halloween Pillow Block:

I hand painted the lace pieces this morning.  I still have to sew them down which I'll do when I turn the computer off.

In the meantime, check out those websites everyone!  Eye candy galore!!!
