Crazy Quilting Round Robin
This lovely patch is done by Barbara as part of a round robin we are doing. I am learning as I go about beading and silk ribbon embroidery. Spider webs and spiders are good luck images in crazy quilts, so lots of good luck for Barbara!! It is my first time beading and doing the silk flowers, but I am fairly happy with how they turned out. I will be putting a celtic knot motif in the white patch and doing a few more seam treatments before I call this one done. It is funny, I couldn't get into my crazy quilt class online, I just couldn't find the time, but since I can go crazy on this and not have to do things in a certain order, it was more "fun" to work on!! I plan to try to keep the spider and celtic knot motifs in each round robin I do, as a signature, if someone else hasn't done it before me.Today is my patchwork group meeting. I will probably work on cutting out more reproduction fabrics for an apple core charm quilt I want to do, and a scrappy ocean waves quilt. Or I might bring my CQ work...hmmmm...
There is no Thanksgiving here tomorrow, but some of my American friends are hosting a Thanksgiving on Sunday. I am making American biscuits (biscuits here are cookies!) and we got together to make a few pies earlier (pecan, yummm!!! and pumpkin!!).
Hope everyone in the States has a great Thanksgiving!

Tell me what sort of beads and things you like and I'll start the search for the tin. There is a fantastic shop in Perigueux that sells the most amazing perles.
so glad you are enjoying your cq'ing!
I like the idea of doing a signature design on each. I was disappointed when I couldn't find canned pumpkin to make pie for Thanksgiving when I was in Australia a few years ago! It just didn't seem right to me.
This block is going to be beautiful I love the colours.
Have not done so much CQ lately. Hope I will manage to do some more soon.
You are doing great with the CQ on Barbara's block! The idea with the spider and spider net are nice.
Thank you very much for the yarn and the chocolate! I very much appreciate it!
Hugs,
What a beautiful patch! Love the rich colors and embellishments! Are those glass beads? I've not tried crazy quilting before--must do. Glad you had fun with the pie making! Thanksgiving Day far away this side of the pond is strange, isn't it? We had pumpkin pie a couple weeks ago (lucky to get some Libby's canned)--so my pumpkin pie need has been met for this year--LOL! Happy Thanksgiving, even though it's a quiet day for you & yours! Happy Days!
Beautiful work. Burgundy is my favorite color.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving, have fun with your cq-it looks really good!
