Karen contacted me to let me know that her group was having a raffle for a group-made Crazy Shortcut Quilt! Here’s her note:
We make items for a raffle and members buy tickets throughout the year with the prizes being awarded at the luncheon. The six of us on the luncheon committee got together and made one of your Crazy Shortcut Quilts. It was not only easy but it was a wonderfully fun group project. I’ve attached a picture of our raffle quilt and you can also read more about the luncheon and our chapter in our newsletter at:

Judy in British Columbia, Canada, sent me pics of this quilt she made for her sister. I just LOVE those colors! Here’s her note:
She chose these fabrics….I know she will love it! I had so much fun doing this and can hardly wait to get back to the one I started months ago. I promise I won’t leave a Crazy Shortcut Quilt left undone again!
Have a great day,
Judy
Hehehehehe! I have succeeded in converting another quilter to “quilt as you go”!
For her sister's birthday

What’s Your Favorite Decorative Stitch?

It sometimes seems like I spend more time daydreaming over my decorative stitches than I do actually using them – and I use them a LOT! No matter what quilt I am making, I tend to come back to using a few stitches regularly. Here’s one of my favorites – if you looked closely you would find it used more than once on most of my quilts
What is your favorite stitch? Satin stitch? Flowers? My friend Sandra has a “crowns” stitch that I am very envious of – my machine doesn’t have that one!

Hi Quilters, if you have put off buying the big 20 1/2″ ruler but you are sure you are going to make another Crazy Shortcut Quilt, now’s the time to go get it. I paid almost $50 for mine, but they are on sale [online at JoAnn's] for $19.99. I am thinking about buying two more! I just love these rulers and use them on all of my quilts, not just our crazy shortcut ones.
Happy quilting! Marguerita

T-Shirt Quilts and more :)

I love quilt stories and Judy sent me hers:
Here are pictures of the two quilts I made using your quilting method with tee shirts that club members gave me. The two pictures with the yellow corvette in the center is the one Bob won and we donated to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY. The other is also made by your method and won by a club member. I made these two quilts an three afghans, which we raffled off at our club picnic. We raised $245. that day and Bob, husband, added another $5. The club matched the money and we donated $500. to our local Ronald McDonald House in Danville, PA. Your method worked very well for this project and everyone loved the quilts. If you happen to get to Bowling Green and stop at the museum, I hope they have it displayed somewhere for you to see. If we ever get to Alaska, we’ll look you up! I’d love to meet you and your videos are great too by the way. Judy
I also added two quilts to the Gallery – one from Jan and one from Jennifer and both just gorgeous!
