Crazy Ann, in an unknown clipping, is credited to Finley, dated in 1929.   In researching, I found this same block with its double Split Rectangles and Shaded Four-Patches, which create that hexagon, known by several other names.  Two of blocks are also credited to Finley, in 1929; Follow the Leader, and Twist and Turn.  Additionally, it was also known as Crazy Anne, with an “e”, in the Kansas City Star, on October 15, 1932.  B37 ~ Crazy Ann ~ Michelle's Fabric Selection 1 Crazy Ann is very similar to Crazy House, which only has single Split Rects, but the same Shaded Four-Patches in the corners.  It seems Crazy Ann, carried the crazy into Crazy Ann.  :)  I think we all know a crazy Ann that keeps us laughing!  Whatever you want to call it, I think it is a fabulous block.  This week I was consumed with getting ready for Fall Quilt Camp and rebuilding my website ( www.sewonthego.net ).  I've been planning on rebuilding my webs...

Can you believe we are 75% through the blocks!    Crazy!  Crazy winds here in CT today too! Block 36 is California Sunset!  Such a find!  Love it!  This one is going to test all the skills you've learned over the last few months, but it will be worth it! California Sunset was published in the Chicago Tribune, on December 5, 1933 and credit to Nancy Cabot. This is a spectacular block and unique, as this clipping is the first time I’ve seen this block, and I love it.  I searched extensively, and I could not find this block known as anything else.  The block’s corners units, with the Split Rects , are similar to Dutch Tulip.  However, the Corner Beam units replace the one-patch units in Dutch Tulip.  The Peaky and Spike ( V block ) units really make this block exploded.   I think California Sunset is very appropriate name for this wonderful block.  I have big plans for this block in the Timeless with a Twist Book ser...

I just found out there have been a couple cancels in my previously Sold Out Class for Southern Hospitality, at Pennington Quilt Works, in Pennington NJ, on Saturday, June 22nd. Therefore, there is room for a few sign-ups.  Check those calendars and see if you can join me! Southern Hospitality is a relaxing soothing quilt, it has such lovely movement.  It is an awesome throw size quilt.  This quilt was designed by Deb Tucker and will have you thinking of warm, slow paced afternoons.  You can learn to use Deb Tucker’s Square2 tool to make two types of units- the Diamond Square and the Little Houses block.    Then learn to make Migrating Geese using a fabulous technique perfected by Deb Tucker.  The Diamond Square technique will leave you wondering how you lived without it.  What girl doesn’t love perfect Diamonds!  Plus, the Migrating Geese adds such a wonderful flair to the border; you will use it over and over again.   It...

The 2nd pattern we test drove at the Studio 180 Design Certified Instructor's Retreat was Deb's Tucker's Northern Neighbors.  This is another pattern she plans on having out in a few months.  It was really neat. Plus, you don't need to go with the traditional Canadian Maple Leaves if you don't want to.... several of us Certified Instructors took it in several different directions.  Here are a few examples. This is Donna's - Just to die for!  Love the batiks!  She got really far - - she doesn't talk as much of the rest of us!  LOL Here is mine, with my Kaffe Stash: And then the groups, so you can compare and see how versatile the pattern is: This pattern will use the following Studio 180 Design's tools:  Split Rects, Corner Beam, Wing Clipper, Square2....  If you don't own then, this is a great weekend to purchase them at my etsy shop.  I'm offering 15% off if you spend $20 or more.  Use code: ENDMARCH  at my s...

I just got back from a retreat weekend with my fellow Studio 180 Certified Instructors, Deb Tucker, Sue Tucker, and Jeff Tucker. It was a blast! I love the group, everyone has so much energy.  We inspire each other daily via our Facebook private group, but when we are in person, the inspiration vibes are just everywhere!  So much fun. One of the quilts we worked on while we were there was one of Deb's new quilts.  She had us do it as a mystery and test her instructions.  However, she hopes to release it as a regular pattern in the next few months. You can make it scrappy or organized.  Both are stunning.  Deb is currently deciding on a name, but she was leaning toward "Wish Upon" when we left the retreat!  Keep checking my posts for more info! Wish Upon is made with the Split Rects, Tucker Trimmer, Square2 and Wing Clipper - ALL WHICH ARE ON SALE at my ETSY Store - 15% off of $20 orders or more with Code: ENDMARCH .  Check it out at ...
