Stability X

Looking through my sewing machine today at the books on my desk gave me a deep introspective thought today. I legit am an autodidact who enjoys self paced learning and picking the topics that interest ME.

I picked up the Quilting Arts magazine on the second slide inside a second hand Art Supply store because it had a up close and detailed look at a Crazy Quilt. I’ve had a DEEEEEEPPPPP fascination with Crazy Quilts for a VERY long time. I wish I could give a numbered amount of time but I can’t because I don’t remember when I caught the Crazy Quilts Bug. I just know it deeply reminds me of collage work but with Fabrics! 🥰😍

Anywho I open this magazine and see that someone has written a book on the subject of Crazy Quilt back in 1984 after 2 years of prep work for the book. Now guess what. This book only ran 7,500 copies to print! lol so folks was paying over $200 for it back in the early 2000’s on eBay.

Guess who paid $8 plus shipping and found it on Etsy? ME! This is legit my hologram Pokémon card or whatever!

Last two slides my attempt yesterday and today to do my own crazy quilt. I’m doing 6x6in squares. 5x5 rows for a total of 25 squares. I’m saving the embroidery for last because I’ve yet to learn it but will be working on that next up.
