    I found several quite large pieces of crazy quilt at a little country yard sale. The lady who was selling them said they belonged to her grandmother who was a crazy quilter. They are old ...hand stitched and partially embellished. The threads she used for embroidery are something you don't see anymore, and the only reason I have not worked on them is I can't find thread like she used... Today's threads would look hideous beside her's. I wish I could share them with you... One of them I use as a table topper and it still has the basting stitches in it. Awesomeness...as you say!

    oh you are wearing my favorite jacket there.....also agreed with don't wash a crazy quilt. It's a fancy quilt you put on the special bed, no cats allowed. That's why I am going to make a pillow. just for show....vacuum it. (I admit we have these pillows on our guest bed, and after our guests LOOK at them we tell them "When you go to bed, put the pillows HERE."). Also I buy clothing at charity shops and for the wool sweaters, I just sniff. IF they smell I don't buy. That's life!

      I would love to fund that book. I just recently purchased a vintage singer featherweight machine. It became a fascination quickly to learn more & more about the vintage machines. I have owned a Elgin for years & years. It's a beautiful & very functional sewing machine. It only has a suitcase no cabinet. I redid that part a couple of years ago. The old machines where made to last forever. When they have need takin care of. My husband bought that one at a second hand store years years ago for about 30$. It runs like a well oiled machine.

    also just note... when I want to buy buttons that MATCH and are really NICE, I will go purchase a shirt for $1.00 at the charity shop. You can get incredible buttons on shirts or the clearance area. I know people like the big jars of buttons but I need some that match at times. Buttons on cards are expensive when NEW.

    Sometimes I "wash" my non-washable thrift store clothes and items by putting them on high heat in the dryer for awhile. I may add a dryer sheet if I think it needs a bit more "refreshing." It works for me! That crazy quilt is gorgeous and so very much loving work to make!

    Thanks for those book titles! I just went and got the Beaded Crazy Quilting and Allie Allers book. I already had Judith's book from years ago. Tried doing some crazy quilting but always got lost in the trying to avoid damaging my stitching when using a hoop on a large project. I like the way you do your blocks. I am waiting for my She Shed to be delivered, I've been waiting about 7 years for it. We've got a small house with no room to work in.
    Seems like every time I got started on a sewing project, something would come up and I'd have to put everything away....I've got a ton of stuff, some of it given to me. So, now that I'm getting my own shed I'll actually have room to quilt and sew and organize all of my supplies and machines. I've got a bunch of vintage machines. Some given to me and some I found at thrift stores. But you have encouraged me!!! Love your channel! Thank you!

    This is just a thought, if anyone was concerned with dust mites, depending on the size of the item they could fold it up and place in a plastic bag and if they have the space place it in the freezer. It is the same method you can use for stuffed animals to kill the dust mites. There is a product you can buy in any grocery store or Target that is called Dryell, I am not familiar with the product but it claims to be a Dry Cleaners in your clothes dryer. The clothes dryer can be set on air/fluff which does not heat up but I am not sure if that works with that product, these are just ideas. Also some fresh air can do wonders to freshen up if house odors become trapped. Again like you said, it is decorative masterpiece, treat it as such and all should be well.

    • @danceswithpitbulls

      @@danceswithpitbulls I also wear "washable" fabric but I was enlightened by watching a segment on Martha Stewart years ago. She had one of the famous behind the scenes people from Broadway. She does all the fitting, dressing, repairing and washing of the garments. Now think about that, actors sweating and stinky with makeup all over the garments. She literally went through garments and was set up in a washroom with basins and machines. She said most everything can be washed and it is all in the process and most is done by hand and also it can be a trial and error thing too. She gave me more confidence in washing a majority of items. These mix fabric quilts can raise and eyebrow on what will shrink, bleed, etc., along with threads and decorative beads. However I guess if one was inclined they could make a sample square of all the fabrics and dunk it is a basin of cold water with gentle soap, roll up in towels (which was the preferred method of removing excess water by the Broadway lady) and lie flat to dry and see what happens.

    I dunk them gently in tepid water amd let them sit for 15 min each side. Then, let drip for 10 min and then dunk it again in cool water with a bit of vinegar in it. Allow to drip again, then sandwich between 2 thick towels amd gently hand press. Lay on clean dry towel to dry, in front of heat source overnight. Turns out fresh & perfect.

    I was wondering about the washing of the quilt. Do u think u could have it dry cleaned?

      I think it's a better idea to protect your quilt. You could take to a dry cleaners and see what they say but I bet it will look different afterwards.

    My embroidery skills are very limited & poor. My mother was an absolute artist at it. But I always end up getting the threads tangled & spend to much time on that! It's frustrating!

      I like to use a heavier fabric like a tapestry, curtain or upholstry fabric. You can use cotton or flannel too

      You could but it is easier to just keep it clean by being careful. If you want to actually wash it, make it out of cotton or polyester with only thread decorations

    Have you ever thought about mounting one of those beautiful, heavily embellished blocks on a canvas painted black? I saw someone doing it with slow stitching pieces. I went to the thrift store and picked up some canvases and wood signs that were kitschy for cheap, gessoed and painted them and gave it a whirl. Your pieces are gorgeous. Just throwing it out there for you for your next craft fair or video idea. I’ll link the video if I’m not explaining it well. I love piecing and working on blocks however, I don’t always want them to become a quilt. She used gel medium, I tried mod podge matte and it worked great

    i guess i can't wrap my head around a "decortive" quilt or even a "wall hanging." a decoraive qui;t serves no purpose, and Wall hanging quilts are waaaay outdated as most people don' live in real castles any more. which is what wall hangings were made for. to block drafts from coming in, o help keep hem warmer. It wasn't to make a place look prettier, however since they were wealthy hey were quite beautiful.

    • @danceswithpitbulls
      @danceswithpitbulls  3 роки тому +2

      May I suggest a trip to a quilt show or a virtual tour of one. People do indeed use wall hangings for art. There are magazines dedicated to them, quilt guilds who do art quilt challenges, and just plain sewists who enjoy making smaller decorative quilts for display. They can be thrown on a couch or on top of a regular quilt too. Not every quilt has to be used on a bed and not every bed quilt has to be plain and utilitarian. I am working on a queen sized neutral crazy quilt for my daughter.

      @@danceswithpitbulls ​ @danceswithpitbulls First of all i'm sorry if i insulted you by my comment. that wasn't my intention. i was only stating my opinion. i personally believe that something can be beautiful and be utilitarian. Otherwise i wouldn't invest so much time, effort, love, & money into it. Each person has a right to do with their quilts as they see fit. I've back watched quite a few of your videos and i find all of yours to gorgeous. and have learned quite a bit from you. most importantly, since i want mine to be utiltarian, don't choose fabrics that can't be washed in some way. whether in a machine on gentle cold or dry cleaned. it may take more time, but watching you make yours, i can see they are works of art & love. And since time is not of an essence for me i can afford that luxury. However, i compare this to my cooking. i would never cooking a 7 course meal, set it down in front of people and say, " i've spent hours upon hours creating this but you can only look at it, you don't get to eat it. however there's a McDonalds down the road if you're hungry." same principle..to you and others it may be fun, as it fun for people to cook the wonderful dishes just to take pictures of then toss out. to me it seems .... wasteful. It goes against everything i was taught by my grandmother.
