I have recently started working on crazy quilting. I joined a round robin that is a Peacock theme. Am really enjoying it. The first picture is of the block I submitted in the RR. The peacock on the right top is one of the ones made for me by my secret pal a couple of years ago and thought they would be perfect to use in this project.
Here is the same block with the work added by Brenda in the Round Robin
The center peacock is another one of the ones made for me by my secret pal.
Today I spent the WHOLE day dyeing venice lace, other laces, silk ribbons, and fabric to use in this RR as well as on my own blocks. Was really fun and they seemed to have turned out really well. Will see tommorow when I rinse them out. I also dyed a ball of crochet thread and some fabric pieces in the same colors.
I have plans to make a white crazy quilt The idea came from when my Dad brought home a bunch of white rags years ago. They were such pretty fabrics I confiscated them from him and have saved them ever since to someday use in a crazy quilt. I plan to start that one very soon. Have collected lots of white, off white fabrics, lace, etc. since then to use in it. I probably have enough to make a couple of quilts.
Wish I had more time in the days to do all these projects I would like to do.
