So you can chop up DH's shirts if you want (as long as he's not in them at the time!). And you definitely don't need to use silk ribbon and fancy embellishments - if all you have is DMC embroidery floss, use it! That's the beauty of crazy quilting - anything goes.

I don't think I have fabric to create a crazy block, but I'm going to follow along and see how these lessons go. I will say... seeing her most recent post where she embellishes her first seams with a silk ribbon, I was instantly overwhelmed, and thought, "this looks too complicated for me." Interestingly, I bought I bought her book a few years ago when a Hancock Fabric store was going out of business. So something about this craft intrigues me...

Our landlords are cheap and we suspect the entire reason the hot water hasn't been fixed is because it's been Easter weekend and they don't want to have to pay time and a half (or possibly double time) to plumbers.

It's different for us because we're simply not going out.
