So do I. I have all of the fabric I need and I have the perfect sewing machine for this project. What I don’t have is the know-how. What I need is a class that teaches beginners how to make a crazy quilt.

Fortunately I have found one online. And it isn’t going to cost me a dime. I can do this at my own rate and I believe that I will end up with the quilt I have dreamed of for several years. The first part of this class will teach you the basic of piecing techniques and the fun part – the embroidery stitches. That is the part I am looking forward to the most. We will talk about part two of this wonderful class tomorrow!

When you see bolts of fabric like this, do you think quilting? If you don’t maybe you should! While you are considering quilting, consider this: There are few arts as elegant, versatile, and illustrative of the crafter’s skill than the beautiful Victorian art of crazy quilting. And although at times, it may be time consuming, it isn’t as nearly as difficult as it looks.

If you have never worked with quilting, or crazy quilting specifically, it would be wise to do some research. Sites that discuss crazy quilting can explain many of the techniques and themes used in this craft.

The site I have linked below is a great start. It shows some beautiful patches and samples, as well as some antique quilts. These photographs can give you some ideas of what would work for you with crazy quilting.
