I have enjoyed the beautiful work submitted by so many of your
readers. Wonderful eye candy! I've been busy working on my first CQ
and my first attempt in making a hussif. I haven't gotten very
far..and I'm kind of feeling my way as I go. Who knows what will
happen next. Thanks so much for the information and inspiration.

This pillow is my first crazy quilt project. I also did the tatting
(except for one piece by my great-aunt). Thank you for this informative and inspiring magazine! Lynn B. (Hutchins) Haney |

I am sending you a photo of my wall hanging that I made a few years
ago. It is all scraps of satins and taffeta, with embroidery of my
favourite birds, the Kookaburra and Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo among
other embroidery and embellishments. It is called Victorian-style
Crazy Patchwork, An Aussie View. Thank you. Christine Linton |

Hello, I have photo's of some items I have made for a swap recently. These are tins for the CQI tin swap. I decided to try to make something different so I found a pattern to make little purses out of scrapbooking paper. I just converted it to be able to be done with crazy quilt sides instead. I make 2 for those who sew with little pin cushions inside. The other is to hold whatever my grandmother wishes. I attached the photo's of the tins. -- Ann Flowers |

This spring Pat Winter did a puzzle piece exchange,
Pieces of Friendship (http://wwwpiecesoffriendship.blogspot.com/).
I did my six pieces on a wool felt foundation and did some
crazy-style piecing and stitching on the wool. Here are five of my pieces. -- Marjorie Holme |

Under the Sea. I will send you 2 photos of the block. Laura R |

Hello I have just finished this greeting card for a friend so I
thought I would like to send you a picture of it for the Readers
Showcase. I printed the lovely lady onto cotton fabric through my printer. Then highlighted the flower on her hat and the one in her hand placed a small piece of braiding on the cuff of her blouse then stitched the lettering is silk thread. Kind regards Andrea Beecroft New Zealand |

Miss Shamrock has a Crazy Quilt pieced skirt, beaded wings, and a
Brazilian Embroidery 3D Shamrock Flower. I created her face from
Polymer Clay and painted it with PearlEx Powder. I used the Oglala
Beading stitch that gives a ruffled lace look for around her face
and along the sides of her skirt. I used Brazilian Embroidery thread
called Boucle in shades of green to create a lace effect for the
seam treatments. Miss Shamrock was created for my friend Sherry who
lives in Texas.

I have been experimenting for over 10 years to find a way to
replicate embroidery stitches one might use on a crazy quilt with
beading patterns. The book I authored in 2009, Bead Creative Like
Crazy, provides numerous bead embroidery patterns and instructions
for that purpose. These two photos feature beading patterns for the
chain stitch worked on vintage linens. Crazy Beading stitches lower left bottom corner to top right corner: Buttonhole, Lazy Daisy, Chain, Fan, Feather with miniature grapes, Chevron, Fly, Cretan. Nancy Eha |

The enclosed photos are of a Wedding Album I did for my
Grand-nephew. My brother preformed the service and I thought there
should be a beautiful Album in which to keep the printed service. I had a wonderful time doing this project. I'm sorry about all the photos, but I have yet to master Photo-shop selecting and sending photos; so discard any or all. I do love CQMag and look forward to each issue. Thank you all for your dedicated work for all us crazy quilters. Shel Jensen, Maui |
