Places are set!

I finished up the last one in my set of four crazy quilt placemats last night. I'm so pleased with them that I took loads of photos!

The boys in the house like this one best:This is the back of one. The quilting is done in the shape of lightning bolts!

AFTER LONG LAST!

The skull and crossbones quilt is done. I am ever so pleased with it. I mean, this thing has been knocking about for a while. Mocking me and calling me lazy. But, I showed it that I've got the fortitude to 'getter done'.

Yeehaw!

Quit it. Err. Quilt it.

I've been working on tying up my patchwork quilt. I'm half way through it. Check it out: Foxy.

I'm goin' Crazy Quilts.

Oh no let's go....CRAZY!!!

My Great Aunt Pearl used to make crazy quilts. Even when she was 90 years young. (I guess you could say I come from a family of die hard crafters!) I've always loved the one that Mom has which Aunt Pearl made. It's got some really amazingly awful fabric in it but, it works! AND to top it all off it's backed in brown. Yum. Still it it a thing of beauty.

Recently, I've become aware that I've got a lot of scraps of fabric laying around that are good for nothing but, a crazy quilt. However, I still haven't finished my skull and cross bones quilt that I started ages ago. (I will be finishing it quite soon though because pondering the great quilt work of Aunt Pearl has helped me solve the final problem of that quilt. Anyway...) So, instead of making a razy quilt for the bed, I've decided to make crazy quilt placemats!

Here's the beginings of them:
