Piecing Crazy Quilt Strips

Well I’m sure the grandparents are going through withdrawl since I don’t have a handy digital camera (still on the fritz) so these are a few Rex took of the kids…there are a few more on flickr and I’ll put them in his photo file (he still doesn’t realize that I post his photos for all to see…silly boy..he’s so shy about the whole thing!).


I like both of these photos a lot…kind of captures their personalities.
Speaking of personalities, Missy C did this picture for me and actually got to mail it from the post office on a field trip with her school…cool, eh? She was very excited. I thought it was a very nice picture and made me think of spring even though we finally have some snow on the ground and it’s 15 degrees Farenheit here this morning!
This is the border for my Fairy Quilt….it was the first strips of CQ I ever pieced and I think piecing strips is really tough…hard to get a “crazy” look for it. Does anyone out there have better examples? I’d love to see some other ideas. In this case, I’m not unhappy…I was more going for the texture than anything…and considering all the embellishments (the flowers are going to pour out over the border) it should be fine.

Last night Rex and I went to the CHAC auction and my heart actually got bid on…which was cool! I think my friend Toni ended up with it, but she promised it wasn’t a “mercy bid”! 🙂 We had a great time and won bids on two new pieces of art, but I have no idea how I’m going to take photos….maybe the webcam. I’ll have to give it a try!
