Crazy quilt heart with vintage hankies and beaded chiffon edging.

Made this heart with vintage handkerchiefs etc. Printed out the word "Friend" onto chiffon and used it as an overlay. Used chiffon to conceal edges of foam core by adding a bead every inch or so finish it off. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE MORE OF THE DETAILS. Thanks for stopping by.

Crazy quilt heart with fringed edging.

I was teaching myself how to do two things here: Crazy quilt patchwork and embroidery stitches. My signature stitch is the "dragon/butterfly". It is always a challenge how to finish these edges hence the fringed edging. This will be a gift for some young gal. CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE DETAILS.

The edging on this heart was done with a beautiful stiff type of chiffon from France. It worked great for the edges as it will form any shape the needle will take it. Will use this as a gift for some young gal! CLICK ON IMAGE TO SEE THE DETAILS.

Music themed crazy quilt heart.

Still learning to crazy quilt with all the different stitches. My favorite part is "framing" the center piece photo so they all will be different. Did a iron on transfer with the word "music" on the bottom center then stitched with gold thread. Used a gold netting overlay around center piece just to add something different. Thanks for reading!

Crazy Quilt Heart Wall Hanging.

I taught myself to do some crazy quilting. I did the square then attached to foam core and finished the edges with ribbon and beads. This was lots of work. I will post over the course of winter and spring many more.
