Crazy Quilt Along 2014- Revised

-
Welcome to my Crazy Quilt Along 2014, you are asked to NOT use a ruler or a rotary cutter for the Crazy Quilt Along 2014. This is a scissors only event until your quilt is ready to finish with batting and binding.I encourage you to focus on the hand applications that I do to build my blocks. I use the sewing machine very rarely after the initial blocks are made.

If you are good so far and you're feeling like its manageable for you to participate twice a month where your teacher is there for you and its a free event, then I welcome you aboard, I am really tickled!

( I'm not a hard task master, if your life is hectic, join us when you can again)

 (this is meant for the level of participation of those who are already signed up)

 Rules of Engagement:
  1. That you agree to post once a month on your blog or in an email to me, with your progress including photos so I can post your story for you. Your posting will include a link to My Monthly Posting you'll receive each month from this blog.
  2. This is about learning how to get started with crazy quilting. Please try to link up with something special in another participants post. And always give credit where its due.
  3. Please use the link up button from the right side bar of Good Earth Quilting, because it helps me build my readership and to followers, if someone visiting your site sees it and wants to get involved they can find me too.

So this is it, I'm  hoping that we all enjoy our online participation of sharing our learning and I  hope that you learn something about taking the gloves off and tackling something new or thinking and quilting out of the box.


Leave a comment with your email address, so that a supply list can be emailed to you. Take some time to go through all your stash to find some fabrics that you've wanted to quilt with but didn't because you thought it was going to be impossible. Enjoy the fun of taking along a bunch of friends to your local thrift shop when funds from sales often are very needed at Christmas time. Enjoy the fun of stashing a few things like lace, ribbon, buttons, floss threads, Perle Cotton threads, zippers, whatever you can think of to use. Your stash of crazy quilting supplies and notions will grow I promise you.

 JUst to be totally clear. I'm not starting this event until after Christmas, first posting will go out in early January 2014.

 Plus, I'm contacting some awesome potential sponsors of this annual event.
If  you are a potential sponsor, then do contact me via email : carlithequilter at gmail dot com





This is my soon to be home, quilt " Beach House Crazy Quilt" that toured the U.S.A. with the International Quilt Festival and Market this year.



Come on join up, its going to be fun!

Some of my days of late have been drafting, measuring, pressing, sorting and the like. I stumbled on a very organized-Value-Village-COVID-19 in Nanaimo. I glove-masked up and went in. Lots of decent, reasonable priced for a retail market. Maybe I'm just forgetting prices but these prices in VV and other "thrift shops" are becoming unreasonable for many seniors and low income folks to afford. The pricing seemed higher than previous times. Leave me your comnents below. I felt suddenly without much blue or green in my stash. But the good news is that it means I'm using it up at least my green and blue stash. And this is the first really sized load of fabrics I've purchased since 2016. Not bad! And that the green and blue fabrics might just find its way into new family quilts that I'm working on. Plus, I'm starting another Canadian Flag quilt for my youngest son.He's been wanting one since I gave the first one I made and then gave

My start was all 'high hat' style of course and then my life changed dramatically with one phone call. I got a new job! So as the days that I'd scheduled for work on this little project blog tour participation dwindled with chaotic new work schedules, the drama increased!  My plan was to create a new piece with Carol's Bowls With Borders paper piecing. Where I live is a constant influence in my art, my life and my choices for recreation. In the photo above, I actually hand sewed the paper piecing. I bet that is a first! They turned out really well, but the hand stitching wouldn't let me tear away the paper. I imagined a modern piece, the graph paper told me so and I continued. I free hand drew my version of a sockeye on the back side of iron on stabilizer on red linen.  I am a fisher as you all know by now! I've been out to the lake on my days off work harvesting sockeye salmon and enjoying the hot summer sun as we baked in the boat on

A little bit of stitching...

We are helping to tidy up my father in law's home and get him settled into a new home. Its tough, not easy to deal with and we are trying our best to hold down all that we have going on. But thank you for all the kind comments on my spring posts, its been kinda dismal in terms of my stitching, nothing really new, just a bunch of little pages for my weight loss journal. The following pages are some of what I've been mindlessly stitching out the stress of these times. Rusty is aging fast and this is a common view of Rusty whenever we find a shady spot to sit and watch the waves come in. She is 14.5 yrs old this year. We are taking time in small bites to reset our extra busy-ness this summer, elder care and a wedding, its way too busy. Happy quilting everyone. Carli
