When I saw the name of this hop you know I "had" to join. Heck, I AM "Kwilt Krazy". I have been quilting for about 4 years. I had a machine that my Mom bought me many years ago. I tried to sew not knowing what in the world I was doing and kept getting frustrated so I gave up and then it just sat and collected dust. One day a co-worker was showing me all of her crafty projects and some of them involved sewing. She inspired me to pull out that old dusty thing and I was determined to learn all about it. I decided to take a quilt class and then I was hooked. I still can't believe all the times, in the beginning that I would look through magazines wishing I could make those beautiful quilts. Now, I can look through and think "oh I could do that" : )
Here is a little quilt tour:
My very first quilt. I remember I had no clue how to pick out fabric so I had a lady at the shop pick them out for me.
This is my second quilt. A lovely lady and now a very dear friend taught me all I know about quilting. She taught a group of us twice a month and I quilted with them for 2 years.
Next I decided to join Quilts for Kids. I love making quilts to give to those in need. It makes it sew much more worth it. Below is another that I made for orphaned children in Africa.
Here are a couple of my favorite quilts.
Batman for one of my twin granddaughters
and
below is a quilt that was entered into a quilt guild contest. The theme was "favorite movies"
Grease!!!
See, I am getting more and more obsessed...Krazy....as I learn more and more. Sometimes Krazy is a good thing. I can't believe that I have now made a design that was recently in Quiltmaker 100 blocks. If interested check out my previous post to see that block design. Lastly I want to show you this sampler quilt that I designed just for this hop. Since I started my blog I have had this image in my mind of a lady all flustered and Krazy with quilt blocks all around. LOL...my vision is now a reality.
Here are some close up shots of some of the blocks. Now I need a photography class ha ha.
Bear Claw
Rail Fence
Flower Basket
I didn't get my binding finished but I am sew glad I was invited to share this with you.
