I was looking for another crazy quilt to provide me a winter of hand stitching, hand embroidery and embellishment. That winter was almost 7 years ago. The four blocks were complete and ready to incorporated into the new design by end of 2016 when we moved to Vancouver Island. But then they sat in a storage unit without me for another year.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">I make all these goal posts because, so often I hear things like, "Wow, that must have taken years? or Did you do all this stuff by hand?" and it makes me think that many times, the task is soooo daunting to a person, that they become stuck and don't ever let themselves fall in love with the freedom of crazy quilting.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM-xLh__vK8WgibASo8LYogk0HkLf7tiR2-yjZo0fIBV8-Tsgsx9NGTocts0gCq9FhaDso7vsQKdq5-MQmcTaH4009jEKnj3c72p2uA-p7Fi_Zz8OWwLMaBuIthN25F5P0lp_J1FXzWtY/s4608/20200824_091440.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdM-xLh__vK8WgibASo8LYogk0HkLf7tiR2-yjZo0fIBV8-Tsgsx9NGTocts0gCq9FhaDso7vsQKdq5-MQmcTaH4009jEKnj3c72p2uA-p7Fi_Zz8OWwLMaBuIthN25F5P0lp_J1FXzWtY/s320/20200824_091440.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrUykO7NtIeUoZ4NHmTyqtPeELX3rCFL6x-qJ_XMXd2PsiqiZiikp7IhgidLv46gc31J3XV2_SX5xMxY47D5Hlcr2ZQMDYN6-rYVSbgTo5FZDC6RJHjFWQfj8BKMIPMjq5_xvOeMZm3FzW/s4608/20200824_091426.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrUykO7NtIeUoZ4NHmTyqtPeELX3rCFL6x-qJ_XMXd2PsiqiZiikp7IhgidLv46gc31J3XV2_SX5xMxY47D5Hlcr2ZQMDYN6-rYVSbgTo5FZDC6RJHjFWQfj8BKMIPMjq5_xvOeMZm3FzW/s320/20200824_091426.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0XpkagjH5hVLZ1Bo3zV0GuO7h1kWbGpHYAuXcrIBKZF2qMNvpRRQ86FZHIG-nTGYWyZmJpPiCSgw45l_vMKrfqzf9bqB729My9DxoPMxNqL8F60llGZM4cx6O1z6R4T3AlTNopoxDcOzZ/s4608/20200824_091351.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0XpkagjH5hVLZ1Bo3zV0GuO7h1kWbGpHYAuXcrIBKZF2qMNvpRRQ86FZHIG-nTGYWyZmJpPiCSgw45l_vMKrfqzf9bqB729My9DxoPMxNqL8F60llGZM4cx6O1z6R4T3AlTNopoxDcOzZ/s320/20200824_091351.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2sDP8M5KFG0PFMCU6yt-uv37FhQMSKXY2BeJ8UzYeH9TS1TWL8qJhpYUcOxvCs1GaZRqSkkliq5Jt-J6gBXf7B4aOiMeK9EfZy_Ct0n9ld5gxJVFfi-RvMDiLZ2i_QANS_mDFSWpGZOF/s4608/20200824_091329.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2sDP8M5KFG0PFMCU6yt-uv37FhQMSKXY2BeJ8UzYeH9TS1TWL8qJhpYUcOxvCs1GaZRqSkkliq5Jt-J6gBXf7B4aOiMeK9EfZy_Ct0n9ld5gxJVFfi-RvMDiLZ2i_QANS_mDFSWpGZOF/s320/20200824_091329.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Early in crazy 2020, the year that we'll all universally remember forever. I leaned back on my busy life with building a business and trying to stay safe all at the same time, I decided to get busy finishing a few things and I've got loads of crazy quilt blocks to finish. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So the time arrived and with crazy quilts, this seems to be the point of them, that they are so versatile, somewhat dated, but never grow old, even the old antique ones. They just keep saying "NO RULES QUILTING IS POSSIBLE"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Crazy quilting is fun and its doable on a tight time budget and a tight wallet budget. I always start a crazy quilt with a box of uncycled scraps, rarely does new fabric come into them. And maybe I'll make another modern crazy quilt like this one below. Modern fabric purchased new in 2010 made up this Baby Blue kinda child-like crazy quilt. I still thinks its mediocre and is not my favorite, but its done. I resides in our main bathroom.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On this baby blue crazy, I didn't do any kind of hand embellishment of any kind. It all blanket stitch from my machine in swirly shapes and was done using GAYG method, but something about these fabrics may be the reason I don't actually care for it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDS-jyEM8SXp-Sie7JfrHbYEIio9sQT6CO6OV0q5iv0srOcHOEHj15zC8Xfpt85jfxoPSu98FXIoJiMCfKwd9SVvUPe-6fpaABg25Zc0fRn44AQ1Nh26htpGRevJeTRQAgb2L0rLWQECgX/s4608/20200920_113456.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDS-jyEM8SXp-Sie7JfrHbYEIio9sQT6CO6OV0q5iv0srOcHOEHj15zC8Xfpt85jfxoPSu98FXIoJiMCfKwd9SVvUPe-6fpaABg25Zc0fRn44AQ1Nh26htpGRevJeTRQAgb2L0rLWQECgX/s320/20200920_113456.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know why I didn't make another like this, its not really crazy quilting without the embellishments made by the maker. Back in 2010, not many in the modern quilt world were using the big stitch hand quilting and it was mostly solid color quilts of that time. Now, things have changed quite a bit and I do see big stitch hand quilting on quilts called 'modern' nowadays.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Finally, getting back to finishing this Christmas Crazy 2020 quilt.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I decided to go with finding a complimenting color scheme as seen with three borders so far.

It was the beginning of my journey to play with crazy quilting processes and Allie Allerson is doing in a very creative way. She has begun to incorporate many different pre-made items with such glory. You really need to follow her on social media.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNo2wZKRTpTbDaEW_hMTDgP44UW0fzHMrqBdmoV0F3357tdt9OqYrdQJ0o5vcd6u9RsBs6KFqicblkG88lukR3FHIhUAl0pKddmfYoQrH8dFheACiuViLKEUhTaUuYYy10vhvQvm-H1I0R/s4608/20200115_094621.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="2592" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNo2wZKRTpTbDaEW_hMTDgP44UW0fzHMrqBdmoV0F3357tdt9OqYrdQJ0o5vcd6u9RsBs6KFqicblkG88lukR3FHIhUAl0pKddmfYoQrH8dFheACiuViLKEUhTaUuYYy10vhvQvm-H1I0R/w225-h400/20200115_094621.jpg" width="225" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;">The following five Christmas socks were asked for and delivered yesterday for our sons and friends.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdmCFp0YzGaJIuYpHRNVQSy6xF4OcuwJUD4SlUju6hGkr8HodLblAdqnsxTgLr2F2SF_6mpkWKAh9j_3TMk5i4cxBL5fn7VtNtQAEKWpogdfA9gvoExvGpvfQaKvC256s0XPcpJuigT6b/s4608/20201220_175101.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUdmCFp0YzGaJIuYpHRNVQSy6xF4OcuwJUD4SlUju6hGkr8HodLblAdqnsxTgLr2F2SF_6mpkWKAh9j_3TMk5i4cxBL5fn7VtNtQAEKWpogdfA9gvoExvGpvfQaKvC256s0XPcpJuigT6b/s320/20201220_175101.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">My oldest's son got this complete 112 x 112 in.square quilt for his 35th birthday.

Its part of helping my left foot recover from an injury in 2018. Walking every where in this set of shoes has promoted mucle structure changes to my body, my right side is complicated and has activated the Sciatic Nerve, complicating this more each day. Much time is spent stretching, exercising for keeping my mobility going. I won't say its easy, cause its not. <br /><br />But enough about that body stuff that is just life, I have flourished with successes of completion, growth and personal reflections.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI181kWBbJ-9Om0Pl6q7SjwbvamJaZzeBhnUr4KH0RB7fo-hwKEgb1v0NvnojtECf1FRlB9DpSpinVhCHEieW94dZKQrk-jZ8sOA2rz-MGWpBaiRJxZ1o_ke1geRgiHsG8WWK6ZV3-VlAh/s3264/20200526_102912.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI181kWBbJ-9Om0Pl6q7SjwbvamJaZzeBhnUr4KH0RB7fo-hwKEgb1v0NvnojtECf1FRlB9DpSpinVhCHEieW94dZKQrk-jZ8sOA2rz-MGWpBaiRJxZ1o_ke1geRgiHsG8WWK6ZV3-VlAh/s320/20200526_102912.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">I have made many personal clothing 'makes' this year and had such fun doing it.</span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrppT_vuzwFH_NLXrEU6XK-FYH2qxt-zbFaUjgo2r_IGh1jLqWElKmpw8ee_7JkC5HaYrGx3HjFcQ59WSqiGjz-vvxYmCCyzI4UVdwnCJB3fUwRR5Qs-unRhL11wMUu49Agc6NoJIlr9zR/s3264/20200526_170244%25280%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrppT_vuzwFH_NLXrEU6XK-FYH2qxt-zbFaUjgo2r_IGh1jLqWElKmpw8ee_7JkC5HaYrGx3HjFcQ59WSqiGjz-vvxYmCCyzI4UVdwnCJB3fUwRR5Qs-unRhL11wMUu49Agc6NoJIlr9zR/s320/20200526_170244%25280%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: verdana;">I purchased these lovely earrings from a beader I know in Northern B.C.

With working full time, I just don't have time to actually make a deadline, so that went out the window and suddenly I felt a lot better once I knew that the 37 quilts I have in various stages of completion were never getting done it lit a flame under me like no other. </p><p><br /></p><p>First up is what is now called 2020 Christmas Crazy Quilt and I'm almost finished a flimsy! Finally these beautiful blocks are put together and a border has begun taking shape. I finished these blocks back in about 2015, but with moving 2016 they were in storage and then we bought our home in Duncan, they also went into a drawer.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsrVvHM5e6_SVs75m5y3MuUTzyHofODjgCoV5Rf2M8bV3AKgxdW6jZ0jedaQvOD82VilGVqOwf6y-63NLorAR1qcWQap6bpkpiedSXu_eCu22euU8U1_uAjtyZAMgZej71EAq9UPKvpL8j/s4608/20200824_091351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsrVvHM5e6_SVs75m5y3MuUTzyHofODjgCoV5Rf2M8bV3AKgxdW6jZ0jedaQvOD82VilGVqOwf6y-63NLorAR1qcWQap6bpkpiedSXu_eCu22euU8U1_uAjtyZAMgZej71EAq9UPKvpL8j/s320/20200824_091351.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDl-727ZeMxnwCx5BUgVCc1-X4wWGpnV9e-1tdIxtO-wja3oRF_wT6Up4Kn8mVy_sYo8PcWUcpIVpXSxwRCRKD5Qa7aXTpehdhCbPQLfa4MNUg4HjpAv1KE6htKjl8R17ullhpo2YYBt-T/s4608/20200824_091426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDl-727ZeMxnwCx5BUgVCc1-X4wWGpnV9e-1tdIxtO-wja3oRF_wT6Up4Kn8mVy_sYo8PcWUcpIVpXSxwRCRKD5Qa7aXTpehdhCbPQLfa4MNUg4HjpAv1KE6htKjl8R17ullhpo2YYBt-T/s320/20200824_091426.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpvQeDLyjCoVjMi0Cx2sRy_Ze22ELJHOn_tDJhq8dpm9ta41LGK9ri9Eo7PNTK-jEaTx9l_oA_4pUkXCA4fyXoY7yMN4oQIPIcrHp-_bJLxa8iW6m9bJG7PLFrt6Ffx3ha-Gr3ufpg1Mmy/s4608/20200824_091440.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpvQeDLyjCoVjMi0Cx2sRy_Ze22ELJHOn_tDJhq8dpm9ta41LGK9ri9Eo7PNTK-jEaTx9l_oA_4pUkXCA4fyXoY7yMN4oQIPIcrHp-_bJLxa8iW6m9bJG7PLFrt6Ffx3ha-Gr3ufpg1Mmy/s320/20200824_091440.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jv-1S5S8CNg_llJuE-Jv3czw2ARAZE9oOIfc5MtzxReZxT3jQy1cLeGbAeNyxR-9HM2KPHrq5Nj2Jn29UzwLs6rni4cVADmuo-jDWHN2xaK-V5qXdm6oOG14jW8C7jItDH6bpIy1HtRS/s4608/20200824_091329.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-jv-1S5S8CNg_llJuE-Jv3czw2ARAZE9oOIfc5MtzxReZxT3jQy1cLeGbAeNyxR-9HM2KPHrq5Nj2Jn29UzwLs6rni4cVADmuo-jDWHN2xaK-V5qXdm6oOG14jW8C7jItDH6bpIy1HtRS/s320/20200824_091329.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>So now, we are making progress.

Yes, my specialist says nothing can be done for my left ankle. But we are getting more xrays to determine the correct leg length difference I really do have, so that is a start.

But suddenly I looked up and nothing looked familiar. But then I called out loudly my hubby's name and waited. Then again, I yelled this time, and nothing. I knew enough about this topic after living in Northern B.C. where if you get lost, you must stay put after you realise you are lost. Running around frantic does deplete your precious energy and you almost always go farther away from safety, so I stayed put.</p><p>I sat down and looked around. I was expecting at least to hear traffic on the road occassionally, but didn't. My mind worried about last winter's news report of a woman aged 70 who went hiking and never was found again!</p><p>I sat down and continued surveying for mushrooms and then I heard a tinkle of a collar and there was Rusty looking at me with this expectant look to follow her.
