Here are two more motifs that I used on my wallhanging. I have finally finished all of the embellishment on it and will be assembling it and taking photos soon. Most of the stitching is plain, as usual. I like to use the bullion stitch so I included one flower using that. I do my spiderweb rose a little differently than most as I prefer a little height to it. I always make a center first by gathering a 1 1/2" length of my ribbon or by putting a large loose French knot there. I only use 7mm ribbon for spiderweb roses and loosely twist the ribbon as I weave it.

Welcome!
Hi Everyone, I would like to tell you what I hope to accomplish with this blog. I love to share my love for Crazy Quilting with others and want to make this a place you can come for a random idea or two. The blog will be run for the purpose of putting out those ideas as well as a guide to some of the items available at my website and some uses for them. I hope you will visit often. Even if you are not a customer of my website, I want you to feel welcome to come here and to garner any inspiration you can from what I have to offer. From time to time, I would also like to highlight work by others when they are willing to share. My husband and I are still busy adding new things to this blog and to the website so please be sure to check back often.
I'm Maureen - Reen, if you'd rather. I'm happily married, have 2 grown children and 3 beautiful grandchildren. I've been a "stay at home" most of my married life and have always had a project I've been working on. Some things I finish, some are laying here as I write waiting to be finished, and some (more than I'd like to admit) just get tossed when I get to a point I can't look at it another day and am not happy with how it's turning out. I've done various crafts, porcelain dollmaking (which took up 10 years of my life), some sane quilting (when I get a request for it), watercolor painting (can't hold my interest), and my all time favorite - CRAZY QUILTING - I love it!! My other favorite pastime is giving attention to our little Chihuahua, Gracie.
Absolutely Beautiful.
