Crazy quilting
Hi. Has anyone done the stitching on a crazy quilt? Is it hard? I may have the opportunity to do the CQ stitching and I've never done one. I do embroider and do models for an online designer but so far, nothing like a CQ. I have bought a really nice book of stitches and am thinking of doing a sample piece to have to show to the quilter. Thanks for any feedback. BrendaSee More

- I am mostly self taught but grew up playing under a quilting frame hanging from the ceiling. My Mom quilted, crocheted here whole life.
