Dear Liza,
I have been taking a break from the Crazy Quilt for a while, but am now back at it. I have gotten better at piecing, and can do two six inch blocks in about 30 minutes.
After three blocks, I take a break because the hunching over to sew and iron makes my back tired.
Once I get a good stack of blocks done, I start embroidering. This is fun, because I just start stitching along the edges of the piecing.
Sometimes I go astray, and that’s fun too. I can even sew around the edges of the flowers. It’s up to me.
So now, I’m working on about the 50th block. I’ll need about 140, so my first Crazy Quilt is still a long way from being done!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
