#atozchallenge Q is for Quilt. As in #crazyquilt . Usually I post all things Crazy Quilt on @annembray but Q is a tricky letter. This is a patches on patches situation and it’s been a mend in process since 1973.

#atozchallenge Q is for Quilt. As in #crazyquilt . Usually I post all things Crazy Quilt on @annembray but Q is a tricky letter. This is a patches on patches situation and it’s been a mend in process since 1973.
#mendsday DENIM I shot these DENIM shorts that have been absorbed into the #crazyquilt for today’s prompt and noticed there was a hole developing at the rivet. #mendingtime I test drove the @coatsandclark metallic thread for some #kintsugi stitching and it went well. No knotting! Yay!
mendmarch 28 DARN/FARM Well, DARN it, the closest I have to FARMy mends are produce related patches on the Crazy Quilt. . The potato patch (rim shot) was indeed purchased in Idaho. Summer ‘95 road trip. . The Sugar Beet patches are OG vintage patches from the first round of #patchwork Most likely I got them from @sacerlew ‘s mom in the ‘70s. I got a bunch of scraps from her. Sewists always save the scraps.
#mendmarch 14 BENDS I sewed this sock that BENDS around the top edge of the Crazy Quilt during last year’s Zoom mender meetup hosted by @visiblemend Ever since, it has sent me around the BEND! The heel of the sock, I just don’t like how it looks. Today, I mended the visual problem, covering it with a new patch of my Agapanthus print from Spoonflower. @spoonflower strike-off swatches make great patches! The red shoes and white on black scribbles are also my print designs. . MendMarch is an annual mending fest with daily prompts from @visiblemend Join in the fun! Get stuff fixed! . #mendmarch2021 #crazyquilt #patchwork #crazyquilt_amb #spoonflower #slowstitching https://www.instagram.com/p/CMa9TmIFe3Y/?igshid=78i5jkwsscrs
I finished mending the #crazyquilt 🥳! Until next Spring, that is. #slowsewing #crazyquilt_amb https://www.instagram.com/p/CBbEwhylN2Q/?igshid=8zehan01ez77
Finished the Scrap Diary I’m making of the #crazyquilt I’m stitching bits of the new patches and the old ones being covered onto a piece of denim. Though the diary is filled, I’m still mending the quilt. I guess I’ll start another “page”. Slow going with the Quilt King in the way. #funwithcats #crazyquilt_amb #slowstitching https://www.instagram.com/p/CBW4gP9l_yJ/?igshid=1swf2mnl0qh0n
