  • I love to do "free piecing" like this. It feels FREE to me to have no pattern. I love making it up as I go. It always amazes me when it is finished that it looks so good. I believe that everyone can have this experience if they decide to "go for it" and let themselves learn to be creative.

    “Dead” pastels 😂 I didn’t even know I needed to hear that today. Love your work, and that verse on the quilt is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

    I had a crazy quilt stage quite a few years ago. I even won a second place in the fair with one of them. It was a beautiful piano shawl I made. I even made a king size quilt. It’s one of my favorite quilts I’ve ever made. My sister and I also had a lot of fun, replicating the wedding picture of our great grandparents onto cloth. Then I crazy quilted around it. I did embellish it with hand stitching. She still has it hanging on her wall and that was over 20 years ago.

  • @janetsmith2647
    @janetsmith2647 Před rokem +3

    Wow! Love this. I have oodles of cross stitch from years of that obsession that I can now incorporate into my newest obsession of quilting. Great idea, and thank you so much for all the info. ❤❤

    I actually really like the name "Dead Pastels". That is what I plan to use...as it explains it perfectly in my mind. I am loving your use of reclaimed crafts and working them in quilts, etc. It hurts my heart to see all that hard work and time sold at garage sales for usually less than a $. Thanks for showing us beautiful ways to recycle these treasures.

    • @merrymabelmarket

    @carolg.6838 Před 3 dny

    Very nice! Precious Moments or Holly Hobbie look? I like the balanced soft colors and the wide frame of white with the large quilting. It really showcases the muted colors and adds vibrancy. If I were a kid I would probably swirl my fingers around the quilted flowers
    I think your "dead" in reference to grayed colors works. Although I would say for example, look at this beautiful purple fabric anyway. I look better in muted colors rather than Jewel tones.
