Today we’re continuing our foundation seam treatment series, discussing how straight stitches can be used for embellishing your crazy quilts. I hope you will see the endless possibilities when using straight stitches – you can do a lot! As I did previously with the herringbone stitch, I will be sharing different examples of seam treatments…
I wanted to demonstrate how very versatile this stitch can be in creating a beautiful and unique herringbone stitch pattern. Two of the stitching techniques were shared over the last couple of months. Our third example illustrates how we can create a fun stitch pattern using the herringbone stitch technique. I started with a very…
Today, we’re featuring embellished stitching as a variation of the basic herringbone stitch that we had written about last month The herringbone pattern offers many opportunities for embellished stitching. The base fabric for this stitch is polyester in a lavender shade. The bottom is pale peach silk. Once again I always start my seam treatments…
This month I am sharing another of my favourite stitches, the herringbone stitch. This is the first stitch I learned when I started crazy quilting and still by far my favourite! If you are new to my seam treatment series and want to learn more, check out categories – crazy quilting – seam treatments. While…
Last month I mentioned that I really love the Chevron stitch so I decided to share the second chevron stitch variation in our seam treatment series. Start by tracing the seam using one of Kathy Shaw’s templates offered in her Stunning Stitches For Crazy Quilts book. Don’t forget, this is a great resource if you…

I would like to introduce my new seam treatment series. BUT first, let’s start with a bit of history. My crazy quilting journey began about fifteen years ago. At the time I had retired from commuting, long 13-hour days and had started working part-time from home. I had quilted for several years branching out into…
Today, my stitch sample video features Colour #18, which takes on a beautiful green colour palette. Colour #18 is a gorgeous blend of various greens. I dyed it a number of years ago and is one of my best sellers. I can’t say I’m surprised as anyone who does any type of needlework uses green….
When I sent threads to my stitch group earlier in the year I included some bits of ric rac trim to see how they would use this in needlepoint (and specifically the hearts). It took me quite some time to source this particularly ric rac. When I was in San Bernardino a number of years…
Previously, we’ve featured several cross-stitch samples from the pattern Garden Stars by Ink Circles. Our post today features another of these designs using a stunning orange blend cotton floss, Colour #66. As you can see, it’s incredible just how different the design can look just by changing the colours of the floss. This sample is…
