Me Rambling & Sharing My Favorite Crazy Quilt Books 

This is interesting because when I'm under the weather one of my favorite things to do once I start feeling a bit better, is to pull out my old books or magazines I haven't seen in a long time.

Hi Loretta, I would love to watch you stitch crazy quilt blocks, just love it. Love what you do.

Hi Lauretta - Your books are great. I did like his style of stitching. Something about it drew me in too. Take a deep breathe in and just breathe! You will do wonderful in this class. It’s a learning experience and you should enjoy it. You are going to have fun no matter what. Just let go of the nerves and relax. It’s all good. You are amazing and will do great. I have all the confidence in you. Hugs! Happy Easter 💕🐰

Enjoy Your Class Lauretta And Looking Forwards To See What You Creat!!! Happy Easter XX

Hi Lauretta, great idea to spiral bind the books, I’ll definitely do that to mine. Take care and happy Easter.

Thank you, love the books😍Happy Easter💖🐣🌷

Thanks for sharing your books with us. I've had a couple of my more favorite books done the same way. I've never seen Brian's work or his book (that I know of). I'm afraid now I wouldn't be able to enjoy these due to my chemical issues. They look like great resources though. Try to relax and enjoy your art class; it will be fun!

JudithBaker Montano lives here in Colorado. I have been privileged to be able to take many classes from her.💕 like you I have been stitching since I can remember. I too am in a slump, maybe its in the stars ⭐️

Thats how all craft books should be made. With that kind of binding

Love the books.... I've already went on eBay and ordered two of them.... you'll do fine in your art class....just think of it as sewing with a pencil or paint brush...😀

Relax and enjoy your course Loretta, you've done so much for us lately. Really enjoy your videos.

hey... late to the game but I wanted to say that I'm really glad you did your low-key episode of book reviews! I was looking at that Haggard book but was waffling about buying that and/or one of the Montano books. I talked myself out of them mostly because I wasn't sure what they contained. I miss the days when you could browse a book in the bookstore! Anyhow, I liked what I saw from the Michler book and went searching for a used copy. I found one at Half Price Books and they had the Haggard one too - I have say, I was drawn to his work from examples I could find online and I suspect we have similar tastes. :-) Anyhow, I ordered both and I'm sure I'll be happy with them. I'm glad you did the reviews and I'm glad I found it.

Sry about slump. On the 14th I go get my second shot. Was great information you gave us especially about the spiral binding. 🤗🐞🥰

Thanks for this video. I hope you get your mojo back very soon, but relax about it. Your art class will be interesting at the very least. I cannot imagine it not going well for you. Enjoy!!

Love the books, TFS! I got my first Pfizer shot 2 weeks ago, just have to wait until I am advised when the 2nd shot will be! Looking forward to normality!

I decided to go full immunity route for this virus, just like I’ve done with all others. I’m nearly 60 and it has worked great for me and my family.

Woohoo 🎉 Another person all vaccined up! So happy for you 😃 I so need to prepare when it’s my turn. Have enough food in the house, pre-prepare several meals so I won’t have to bother cooking just in case. But it is still some way down the road for me. According to ‘the plan’ my agegroup can expect to be notified for the coming appointment to get vaccinated by the end of may/beginning of June. I just figure it’s gonna be a month or two thereafter when I get my first injection. That is, ofcourse, if there’s no obstacles somewhere along the line... Anyway, books! Books? Oh man... at the rate my wishlist is growing, I soon be out of paper! Yeah, not likely 😂 But I am thoroughly smitten by this crazy quilting business. I would never in a million years have considered doing hand stitching/quilting had I not seen some of your work. And now I can’t stop. Just finished 2 pieces I made into a journal cover, not quilted just stitching and a few beads. And it’s on to the next. Gotta have something to stick my needle in... Thanks for sharing Lau, glad you are feeling better and have a wonderful time Monday! And the nerves willing to come out to play, well let them. Take ‘m along and let ‘m have a good time too. Much easier to let them be out to play than to try to force them under your control in my opinion 😉 ❤️
