"Hi Brenda,  I have done alot of embroidery stitching on crazy quilting it's not much harder than doing other embroidery. It is thicker to work with but you get the same results.  Good luck."

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

Profile Information

What textiles are you interested in?
I love sewing, quilting, cross stitch, knitting, crochet, quilling, painting.......etc
Where did you learn your textile skills?
I am mostly self taught but grew up playing under a quilting frame hanging from the ceiling. My Mom quilted, crocheted here whole life. She could look at a dress and make a pattern and designed her own patterns for crocheting clothes for Barbie and Ken. I did not inherit her talent for design but I did her love of working with her hand.
Let us know you are not a spammer. Is there anything else you want to say to introduce yourself to the group?
I am 56, married over 25 years to a great guy, I have 3 kids and 7 granddaughter who I adore. I worked in a cross stitch/custom framing shop for over 9 1/2 years until it closed this month. I do model stitching for an online embroidery/quilt designer and I have my own business.......slow and small right now.
