Crazy quilting is in my blood now…If you’ve visited my blog since January, that’s no secret to you. I’m currently participating in two round robins and recently received blocks from both to work on. The Brown Study block in my possession belongs to Cris and traveled nearly 9,000 to get from Pam to me. It’s first stop was Australia. The second block…Butterflies and Dragonflies…belongs to Hollie from the Ozarks. I’m first to work on it. I was telling Hollie, being first to work on a block is a big deal to me. It sets the mood of the block. That’s a little exciting and intimidating at the same time. I think any newbie to crazy quilting (I’m in such amazing crazy quilting company that I still consider myself a newbie.) has an “inner critic” that makes her fear messing up someone else’s beautiful block. Being first strengthens the power of that naughty inner voice. Or maybe that’s just me…
Here is Cris’ Brown Study RR block after Pam C. and before I make my first stitch…Ideas for my work on Cris’ block are running around in my head.
Here is Hollie’s Butterflies and Dragonflies RR block before embellishing begins. The anchor piece is a gorgeous bit of embroidery she rescued from a thrift store. I started working on Hollie’s block last night, but I’ll share that a bit later. My work has just begin.
That’s it for this time around…thank you for looking. Feel free to leave a comment so I know you have been here. Blog company is always such a nice surprise!
Until next time…
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
Oh, you are so going to make it even more beautiful. I love your work
PS Was the butterfly already embroidered?
Hi Lesley,
Welcome to my blog!
Thank you for your encouraging and kind words. I will definitely put my best effort into embellishing both blocks. I am so glad I decided to give crazy quilting a try. It is such a satisfying creative outlet.

Yes, Lesley,
Hollie told me the butterfly anchor piece was a bit from a piece she found in a thrift store. What a great find and the perfect focal point for a Butterfly and Dragonfly RR!
Thank you again for stopping by and leaving your comments.

Judy, I have been watching you “grow” for some time and thought I should say “hi” instead of just “peaking” around. What a blessing to see your talents adapt to this art form.
In Christ’s love,
Heather
Hello Dear Heather!!!
How nice to see you! I’ve thought of you often. I did not salvage my email addresses from my last computer when I upgraded
and had no way to email you. I’m so glad you came out of hiding and told me you were here.
Thank you for your kind comment. I’m so enjoying crazy quilting. It’s a wonderful creative outlet.
I hope to “see” you again soon…and hope all is well with you and Randy.
Love you, too.
Judy
Judy, I know you will do a great job! Can`t wait to see these blocks after your creative touch.
Thank you, Catherine. I have finished the Brown Study block and have a tiny tweak or two to do to the Butterflies and Dragonflies block.
They’ve been a pleasure to work on. Are you still stitching?
Will stop in on your blog shortly to see what you have been up to.
As always, it’s nice to see you!
Judy
