Dear Liza,
With the holiday / sick in bed season over, I can get back to some projects I love. The Crazy Quilt, for example.

Here is my progress so far. 75 blocks pieced out of the 120 I will need, and all but 15 of them have been embroidered. In the picture, there are 20 blocks in each baggie. So, mathematically speaking, I am more than half way done! (With the “block making” step, there are a half dozen more).

I am getting more inventive in my piecing, using tiny scraps to make bigger chunks to apply. This uses up the tiny scraps and also gives a nice contrast of large and small pieces.

I am also having fun with the embroidery, following some curving lines and generally making things up as I go along. I am really enjoying it!

I like how some of the blocks are like their own little work of art, and how others look like an aerial photograph of a really interesting farm.
I’ll keep you posted on the progress!
Love,
Grandma Judy
Your journey with the Crazy Quilt sounds amazing, Grandma Judy! The description of blocks as works of art and farm landscapes is vivid. Your passion in every stitch makes it more than a project—it’s a masterpiece in the making. Reminds me of my grandmother’s love for such crafts. Excited to hear more about the progress and see the final result!
