The worktable is looking pretty messy today.
I pulled out some old kimono silk scraps and started some crazy patch pieces. I don’t remember where I got these scraps, but they are really just scraps! Nothing more than about six inches across, so crazy patch it is.
This shows a couple of them while I tried out some trims. Nothing stitched down yet.
A couple of hours later, there was some embroidery done – still a bit to go – and a much bigger mess!
I like the stitching that goes into crazy patch work, but I do not usually have the patience to finish large pieces. These will become postcards or journal covers eventually.
It’s nice to just sit and stitch sometimes.

LOL, I know how you feel! I used to love making CQ postcards, and I do enjoy doing bigger CQ blocks (no bigger than 10" though), but I tend to drag my heels when I'm about half way through the embellishing process.
