Very First Crazy Quilt Project


This is the very first crazy quilt project that I completed.  A friend showed me a crazy quilt that her sister made for her.  It was beautiful!  The embroidery and other embellishments amazed me.  I had never heard of crazy quilting before I saw her quilt.  I made a passing comment that I would like to try it sometime and then out came all my scrap material from all the homecoming and prom dresses that I made for my daughters. Between the two of us we pieced together a square, using what i know now as the "antique method".  Once I was done I made it into a pillow.


 This is a close up of the upper left side of the pillow.


 This is a close up of the upper right side of the pillow.
 

The bottom right side.  The pillow creased and you can't really see the very bottom corner.
 

The bottom left with a little spider web and spider.


I used this project to try out as many embroidery stitches that I could find.  I started searching the internet an discovered Silk Ribbon Embroidery and Brazilian embroidery and I had to try my hand at that.

More Altered Art Projects

 I wanted to add a few more Altered Images to celebrate Halloween.  Above are my Zombie Babies with a cauldron of red Zombie Juice,

 These are my three little children all set to go our to Trick or Treat.  The masks have elastic on the back so they can come on and off.  Aren't they soooo cute?
 Also dressed for Halloween are my Pumpkin Boy and Bat girl.
 I just love this little Pony and had to do another one.
Momma and her little Fairy Princess!
