When you have quilted and taught quilting as long as I have, you sometimesbegin to believe that there is not much you haven’t tried. Oh, there are new things
always coming on the market...new patterns, new books. But, many of them aren’t
really “new” just a newer version of an old favorite. So, I was extremely surprisedto realize that over the past couple of decades...I had completely ignored one style
of quilting all together...crazy quilts!!
Unbelievable!! How could that have happened? So, I owe a HUGE thank you
to my cyber friend Nicki Lee Seavey of RavioLee Dreams for “insisting” I sign upfor a small 6-inch crazy quilt heart swap she hosted. And, I forgive her all the
sleepless nights I have had since then...sewing on beads and lace to a project that
had to be finished for the next day! And, I forgive her all the funds I’ve spend on
increasing my crazy quilt embellishment stash...instead of putting more back for a
rainy day! And, I forgive her all the late suppers I have cooked because I neededanother few minutes of stitching to finish up a project! Thanks Nicki...I owe you
big time!
Gratitude to my friends on the HGTV Message Board for always being there
to support me. Ya’ll know how special you are to me! I love you!
Hugs to my other fiber, bead, and needle-art friends on various websites
and message boards ...that constantly challenge me, encourage me, make me laugh
(and sometimes cry), you are the best cyber-friends a gal could every have! Big
Hugs especially to the wonderful ladies at Crazy Quilters International, Friendly
Stitchers, and Cyber Stitchers Yahoo Groups..ya’ll are the best!
Thanks to my pal Shari Jensen for allowing me to co-author her beginner
crazy quilt course on her Yahoo site — Mentors and Apprentices (MAP/SAM). You
are so giving to be willing to promote needle-arts...and learning those arts...and
doing it free of charge! You are certainly one of my heroes!
Thanks to my friend Kelly Pruitt for taking me to my first quilt class
decades ago!
My appreciation to all my blog followers at shawkl.com who visit with me
from around the world; your continued vote of confidence and support is
appreciated!
And lastly, huge thanks and BIG HUGS to my grand-daughter Aidan...for
tolerating a grandmother that is always stitching. And thanks for helping me sort
my stash, select just the right colors, and for attempting some stitching and
beading yourself! Nana loves you! Keep up the great stitching!!
Thanks to all who have encouraged my crazy quilting process along the way…

IntroductionIf you read the acknowledgments...you know that I have been quilting for a
long, long time...but have only been creating crazy quilts for a short time. So, to
most (including myself) I am still a beginner. However, I am compelled to also
share with you...that since I am retired, with no children or hubby at home now...Istitch between five and fifteen hours each day. So, compared to the average
hobbyist...I probably have more hours under my belt than many true beginners.
Even so, an expert I am not. And, I think that is just what makes this book
such a great treat. If I can do these stitches, believe me when I say...anyone can!
Every seam is just simple needle up, needle down...and does not require a
knowledge of complex stitches. Probably, even without any additional instruction you already know how to do a straight stitch, a lazy daisy stitch, a French knot?
Those were usually taught by a grand-mother, mother, sister, friend...or from abook or embroidery pamphlet. And if not...don’t fret...the internet is full of
instruction videos and stitch libraries for the basic stitches in these charts.
Now, having said all of that...I will also add that I have included some of my
own little “tricks”. You see, as a beginner...I was not well versed as an embroidery
person. Oh, I can hold a needle and do basic things...but would not at all be
qualified to enter any of those projects into competitions! So, my worst fear when
starting on my crazy road ...was how in the world to do work that would appear
neat and tidy. Years of cross stitch had already taught me that using even weave
cloth was one sure way to keep your stitching straight. But, that wasn’t possible oncrazy quilt projects since they were made from all types of cloth. Perhaps I could
use waste canvas? Well, that didn’t work out...too cumbersome and too costly! Or,
I could use tissue paper and draw out all the stitches...then do the embroidery.
Yes, this would work...but too time consuming for seams! (Although I do still use
this method for motifs!)
Finally, I decided that if I had little marks where the main parts of the
stitches should go...that would work. So, I ordered all the templates I could find
on the market. But, I found it tedious to count little holes to mark differentseams...so, I developed different templates for my own basic stitches I liked touse. These could be made in the scale I like to work in...and all I had to do was
insert my pencil into the little holes I had punched...to mark different points along
the fabric seam where I wanted to create a combination stitched seam. Those
little pencil marks would guide my stitching and keep it straight and uniform.

This opened up a whole different world for me regarding seams! Ichallenged myself to create twelve dozen seams in twelve months that would use
only the simple embroidery stitches I knew. Basically, I limited my journey to the
straight stitch, lazy daisy, and French knot. As I became more confident (around
the 100th stitch ), I was more comfortable and branched out to add the chevronstitch, the herringbone stitch, and the feather stitch as a base. These twelve
dozen stitches were included in my blog and are the basis for the core idea of this
book. More seam charts are included in this book; and all of the different seam
charts are shown in three different scales. This is done to remind you that scaleshould be considered when you work on a project. The proportion of the different
elements in a block will make the entire project more pleasing to the eye. This is
especially true for seam embellishments. Therefore, a combination seam
treatment stitched on a 6” heart will be smaller in scale than if that same seam
treatment were stitched on a 14” heart.
The templates I created to help me mark straight basic seams are also
included in the book. They can be copied on to mylar, acetate, transparent paper,
etc. Each can then be cut apart into the different base stitch templates. Each has
been marked with “dots” where the needle would go up or down to create the base
stitch. So, after each is cut apart, a small hand held hole punch (or other tool of
your choice) can be used to make little holes in place of the “dots”. Personally, I
purchased a 1/16th hole punch in the scrapbooking section of my local hobby shopfor this purpose. A water soluble pen, a chalk pencil, or a sharp No.2 lead pencil
(my choice) can be used to mark your crazy quilt fabric seam with the template of
your choice. I have included some basic “how to” instructions on creating thetemplates and using them in the book as well...or you can do your own thing if you
stitch straight without any templates.
Generally, after the seams are stitched, there is plenty of room left on
crazy quilt projects that need to be filled in!.So, monograms and motifs are the
next natural progression of stitching. I have included lot’s of alphabets that can
be stitched in simple embroidery stitches. I like to do a simple back stitch for the
letters...and then wrap it with the same color of thread to give it more texture.
You can of course use a different color as well. Next, I do the embroidery workthat completes each monogram...depending on the design, that could be satin
stitch, stem stitch, or just more straight stitches, lazy daisy, and French knots.

The last chapter includes more than 50 embroidery designs that can bestitched on crazy quilts to fill in space. These can be resized to fit the individual
patch size. Some could also be combined; for example, a flower could have a
butterfly combined with it...or several sizes of the same flower could be combined
to create a floral stem.
I hope you enjoy this book and it becomes a treasured part of your crazyquilt library. And, if you like...come join me on my blog at www.shawkl.com, in my
studio at www.shawkldesigns.com and in my Yahoo group at Shawkl_Blog_Files for
additional patterns, charts and tutorials!
Lastly, this books has a lot of designs and charts in it. However, it should
just begin to wet your appetite for more. Crazy quilts can be filled with all sorts
of adornments. Embroidery is just the beginning! Hopefully, this book will help youto expand your basic combination seam stitches. Then, you can add beads, sequins,
ribbon, buttons, charms, lace, and the list just goes on and on…
Happy Stitching, and welcome to my crazy world!

Chapter One — Templates
Template Instructions:
1. Print the templates on to regular paper, vellum, or transparency sheets.
2. If you use regular paper...take the print to a copy/print shop (Office Depot,Office Max, Joe’s Printing, etc) and have them reproduce the page onto a
transparent sheet. If you want even more variety, have them make a copy at
75% and at 90% as well.
3. Take the transparent template sheet and cut each of the individual templates
out as shown in this photo.
4. Use a small hole punch (no larger than 1/16 size) to create a hole where each
“dot” is located on the templates. Use this hole as a guide to mark your stitch
on to the crazy quilt patch seam line.5. Place the template on top of the fabric crazy quilt patch, align the seam as you
want your finished embroidery to be (center, or off-center to left/right of theseam line). Using your choice of writing instruments (water soluble pen, lead
pencil, sharp #2 pencil, etc) place the pencil tip into the template hole and
twist...this leaves a small dot on the fabric as seen in these photos. This will

Chapter Two — Base and Combination Seams
A base seam is the beginning of a combination seam. It is the foundation
that other embroidery work or beading is added to. The templates have thesebasic base seams...zigzag, circles, half circles, herringbone, and so forth.
Additional embroidery stitches are added to this base seam to create moreelaborate seams. These are traditionally called “combination seams” because more
than one embroidery stitch is combined to create the final seam.
For example...here is a basic zigzag base seam:
Now, that is a bit boring don’t you think?
But, when we add some other straight stitches, and some French knots, and
some beads...the stitch transforms into a beautiful combination seam treatment!
So, let’s see what happens when we add these simple stitches and French knots.
~13~
How to build a combination seam—
The French knots are added first at the top and bottom of each slant stitch. Nextthe five-spoke fan is stitched in simple straight stitches. The templates include
this fan.
This stitch looks much more interesting just with these straight stitches
added, but what if we added some ribbon roses or beads along the middle?
Oh, that’s much better! But, we are not finished yet...how about some additional

Each of the combination seam treatments is built in this same manner.Begin with the base seam is indicated...like “zigzag”...then add the other stitches
included in the chart diagram. French knots, lazy daisy (detached chain) and so
forth!
You have 150 to choose from! Even more variety can be obtained if you
want to elongate or widen the angle of the base stitch to provide additional
stitching room on our seam.
Play with the seams, make them your very own creation! And there is grid
paper included if you want to create some charts as well!
French knots added to the outside to expand the height of the stitch?
Now, this is one gorgeous seam. The large circles could be a stitched ele-ment as shown of the left side of the photo below. Or, the French knots and addi-
tional stitched elements could be substituted with seed beads and floral beads as
shown on the right side of the photo.

Chapter Three — Seam Stitch Charts
There are 150 different seams charted in this chapter. Each is presentedin three different sizes so scale can be considered. Each stitch is simple to stitch.
Review the seam chart...determine it’s base stitch. This is easy, it’s in the heading
for that seam chart group.
Select the template that matches the base stitch for the seam chart you
want to create. Remember to select the template that is a proper scale for your
project. Not sure what scale to use? Review the charted seams...they come in
three sizes...but each of the three is the exact same stitch chart. Select the base
stitch template to use for the stitch treatment based on the stitch size that
would be the most appropriate scale for your project. The headings in the stitch
charts will guide you in this selection.
Start by stitching the base of your seam using the template to mark your
seam location. Base seams can be stitched in straight stitch, chain stitch, backstitch, or wrapped back stitch. Now, look at the seam chart carefully...what wouldbe logically stitched next? Straight stitches? Lazy daisies? French knots? If you
have any questions or issues regarding the seam charts, please leave a comment on
my blog at www.shawkl.com
Here are the stitches and their symbols used throughout the seam stitch
charts. These are combined with the base seam to create each individual
combination seam treatment.
These represent straight stitches. Simple straight
(running ) stitch can be used for straight lines and the
wrapped back stitch can be used for curves.
These represent detached chain or lazy daisy stitches. The size
of the stitch will vary with the different stitch charts.
These represent French knots. A substitute can also be seed beads.
These represent satin stitched circles or ovals. A substitute can
also be various sizes of beads or silk ribbon flowers.

Tissue paper is my favorite tool to use when transferring embroidery
designs to crazy quilt projects. It works the same on dark or light
backgrounds, it does not damage the fabric, it is inexpensive, and it is
easy.
Step 1: Trace the monogram on to the tissue paper.
Step 2: Baste the tissue paper pattern on to the fabric crazy quilt patch.
Step 3: Stitch the basic monogram letter or embroidery design.
Step 4: Remove the tissue paper. A pair of tweezers or a straight pin ishelpful to remove the last remaining bits of tissue paper caught under the
embroidery.
Step 5: Free-hand stitch the remaining small embroidery details.
Step 6: Embellish the design with silk ribbon, beads, sequins, etc.
Now, let’s have a look at the different monograms...each can be copied and
resized to fit your specific need.

Chapter Five — Embroidery Motifs
Embroidery motifs are a major element of crazy quilt
embellishments. Crazy quilts for centuries have been adorned with
embroidered spiders and their webs, florals, animals, monograms, trees, and
just about any other topic you can think of.
Some motifs are considered good luck such as spiders, spider webs,
horse shoes, and four-leaf clovers. Victorian style quilts usually include
hearts as the universal sign for love and at least one monogram.
Crazy quilts that are based on a specific theme, such as English
Garden, Fairy Princess, etc. are enhanced by embroidery motifs that
coincide with that theme. While this book includes dozens of different
embroidery motifs, especially traditional ones, it can not include embroidery
designs for every possible topic.The most important motif to learn to stitch on a crazy quilt, in my
opinion, is the spider and web. While there are a few people who do not
want these on one of their quilts, it is important to respect the traditions
of crazy quilting so that they can be passed on to future generations. Since
this motif is recognized as a symbol of good luck; having a crazy quilt
without at least one spider’s web is thought to be unlucky for the owner and
the stitcher. Whatever legend or story you prefer...spiders and their webs
are recognized as a MUST HAVE in crazy quilt projects...space permitted
of course. If the idea of stitching a spider just “gives you the willys”...try acharm or some pretty beads to help offset those yucky feelings! Stitch the
web in shiny metallic threads if you want a little extra “bling” to the
project, or in black silk thread if you want a more sinister version.
Tissue paper is my choice in transferring any embroidery design, and
instructions for it’s use are in Chapter 4.
Just as with monograms, you can add silk ribbon and/or beads to the
embroidery as appropriate. Each design can be reduced or enlarged to fit
the specific space on your project. Several designs have also been provided
in different sizes.

Stitch spokes “X” first. Couch them in place with the web “rounds” as you stitchfrom inside to outside in circles. Let the rounds lay loose and then come back and
couch the “U” part down in the center.
It is effective to stitch the rounds by needle up at one spoke; needle down onopposite side of next spoke, and needle up at near side of the same spoke. That
couches the spoke in place. Repeat in a circular fashion around the spokes.
Continue outwards until the spokes are covered. Note that the shape of the web
might not be circular; it is determined by the shape of the patch being covered.
