Thank you To My Staff!

I'm a firm believer in being grateful for what we have.  The sweet ladies that help me with Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine are awesome!  It wouldn't be the nice publication that it is without them.

Mary Anne Richardson of Magpie's Mumblings blog is the most awesome proofreader!  She catches all the typos (on my part) and misspelled words and corrects grammar where necessary.  Mary Anne also contributes articles.  Thank you MA!

Cathy Kizerian of Cathy's Crazy By Design blog has some incredible ideas and suggestions.  She also helps by contributing articles and she helps with finding projects, blocks and articles by other crazy quilters.  Thank you so much Cathy!

Kathy Shaw of Shawkl Designs blog also helps by contributing articles, suggesting crazy quilters and their blocks and is absolutely awesome with Adobe Illustrator!  Kathy makes all the patterns look nice!  I can't figure out Illustrator to save my life.  I'm a Photoshop girl!  But Kathy does a great job!!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Please take a moment to visit the blogs of these wonderful and talented ladies.  They too are crazy quilt artists and have created some of the most beautiful work I've ever seen!

Crazy Quilts With A Past

I've mentioned recently that I've been working on my family tree.  I've done really well with it so far but I've reached a brick wall with my great, great grandmother, my great grandmother and my grandfather.  I'm not giving up, just taking a short break until I can figure out where to look next.

In the meantime, I wanted to put the word out that I'm looking for Crazy Quilts/blocks with some history behind it.

Have you used photos of your great, great grandparents?  Photos of you great grandparents?  People who are long gone but lived an 1800's life and have been remembered by you via your crazy quilting?

If you have, please send me your crazy quilts and your stories!!!  I want to share your work, your family and their stories with the readers of Crazy Quilt Quarterly magazine!!

This my great grandmother Adria.  My mom was named after her.  She was born in 1889 and died in 1918.  A very short life but she sure lived!

I'm not going to share her story here, I think I'll save it for the magazine.  But I want your stories!!

You can email them to me.  The link is in my sidebar!

Thanks!!!

Pam
