I had seen Allie's work in the past and liked what I saw and then I found her blog......Allie's In Stitches.
It would be fun to take a workshop with her but the book looks pretty good too.
It arrived today:)
It's a very wet day....April showers....a perfect day to cuddle up with a lovely new book.
I love the look of crazy quilting but have never been brave enough to try it. I look forward to seeing your results.
ReplyDeleteI snickered a little when I read this, because I too have been playing around with the idea of crazy quilting recently only to find out that it is a lot more difficult than it looks! Turns out you can't just shlop (my word) a bunch of different fabrics together and make it look good. I think I need to take a look at that book.
ReplyDeleteI guess it is kind of like collage? I've never tried it and I think that although it LOOKS easy, there is a true art to it (like most things in life!) Good luck and off to check out Allie's blog :O)

Allie's book is great for piecing ideas. Her freezer paper method is great for when you want to place fabrics specifically and piece with minimal waste. I like that method since increasingly I'm using more and more precious materials.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if I can be of any help...
