Many years ago, I read this quote from an American pioneer woman about quilts. "We made them as fast as we could so that we wouldn't freeze to death, and as beautiful as we could so that we wouldn't lose our minds." It brings tears to my eyes every time I think of it. Thank you, Carlos & Arne, for this lovely video.
That is a beautiful quote.
There was a memoir called The Quilt from a man who visited his Scandinavian grandparents on isolated farms in Northern Minnesota as a boy in the days people traveled in wagons. When the women gathered for a birth or death they brought a community quilt with pieces of clothing from people who had died. As they sewed each piece they shared stories of that person.
The poor Ukranian refugees are freezing to death. They need these quilts.
@@ARNECARLOS Arne your English is so good, you have improved one hundred percent.
A crazy patchwork quilt typically brings back memories of time and people. Lovely job guys.... it allows a place of honor for these pieces 💕
The Salvation Army here had a 75% off sale on their wedding, and prom dresses. I bought them all. Now I know how to cut them up and use them in quilting. Thank you.
I just noticed that this video was from 2 years ago! I wish I had a friend with whom to collaborate on pretty blocks like this. I have really enjoyed watching this crazy quilt block come together.
Thank you for watching!
Love love that happy quilting 🇦🇺🤔🥰
Happy quilting is the word. 🇳🇴
I love the look of your wall with those old looking for plates. I think I'm from another planet, I love everything and tend to hoard. I mean everything! God help me, heaven has to be so beautiful.
I got married during the pandemic in Dec 2020 at the age of 40, after accepting I probably would never get married. But after a whirlwind 6 week engagement, my soulmate and I married. Up until now I wasn’t sure what to do with my wedding dress, but now I know and am going to make a couple of patchwork cushions for our bed. Thank you for the inspiration and enabling me to do something with my dress to keep the memory.
You are such kind people, and humble, a lot of people would have been very mean to the friend for spilling something on a dress you designed , not you two-true old world manners and gentlemen. I enjoy your down to earth peaceful videos so much, thank you
Crazy quilt patch work..........something new I learned today. 😃🥰
Glad to be of service!
I make what we call fidget quilts for dimentia patients with this technique. As I sew, I add trinkets, ribbons, yarn and fabric with different textures. They are finished about 20 inch square. Dimentia and Alzheimer’s patients get very agitated and they love these little quilts to fondle.
They're made for Autistic children, too. Their "sensory quilts" can also be aids for learning to do buttons, shoelaces, zippers, etc.
Reminds me of my grandma, her crazy patchwork quilts were always spontaneous like that. It's artistically freeing.
Boy I am just binge watching….I don’t knit but I LOVE ART JOURNALING and junk journaling and stitch8ng and quilting!!,❤️❤️❤️
Getting addicted watching Arne & Carlos :0)
I agree with Anusha, love to watch them and I am addicted to watching them. I just love them. 😊
I am also addicted! ❤️👍
I love this tutorial. I did something similar many years ago (in the 90s) using scraps from various sewing projects (including my wedding dress). I used a bright thread and a fancy zigzag over the seams to try to tie it together. It has become a UFO but I do have several squares completed. I think I need to pull it out and finish it! Thanks for the inspiration!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching.
Good for you! Has it now turned into a finished product?
Your approach is so artistic and brave. Seeing how you work gives me courage to try. Thank you both sharing your talents.
Thank you so much!
I love to see people creating together. The act of bringing feeling, emotion, and vision into being is remarkable.
Well said
I had already decided to use my wedding dress to make a quilt. It's been in a suitcase for 25 years. If I make a quilt, then it will be useful rather than a bit of clutter.
My wedding dress's skirt is a soft white satin, and the bodice is lavender satin, with a soft white lace jacket. The year after I married, my brother married, and I made a soft purple skirt from a fabric that looks like raw silk. Then about 5 years ago, I made a deep purple dress for a friend's wedding. It is also satin, but I used the 'wrong side' rather than the shiny. These three wedding outfits will form the basis of my quilt. I'll add a load of lace too.
Thank you. I would never have thought to use these old clothes in this way.
I want to know if you ever did that. I’m thinking about using mine from 25 years ago too!
I always wanted to make a crazy quilt but spent way too much time over-thinking it and never did make one. Thank you both for enabling me to just go with the flow and enjoy the trip! What fun it was to watch and listen to you create such a lovely square. So much fun! Can hardly wait to begin mine...
Have fun!
Love you Arne & Carlos.
❤️
Carlos, you were a patient, convivial and handsome assistant! Bravo!!!
love this video
I was married in 1968 and had my dress cleaned and sealed and haven't looked at it since then. I'm going to get it out of the attic and cut it and make something pretty to lay across the foot of my bed. Why not enjoy something new that will bring back old wonderful memories. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Thank you for watching!
This is the first time I have watched these two gentlemen and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I am a lover of Crazy Quilting and these two have enticed me into getting into my fabric stash and getting creative!!! I subscribed to their channel and plan on watching more of their creativity!! Thank you two so very much!!! Judy
Jak zawsze super odcinek .Też szyje paczłorki 🤶👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh wow! That all white quilt with lace is my dream quilt! I must make one!
I love when Carlos talks about your carrier, as " our" carrier! That's what so many families should do! There's so many couple's that don't work together! It's very refreshing to here something like that!!!God bless your family!!
Kathy Kaylor We both worked as fashion designers in the past, so it is “our” career.
Fun to do. Fun to watch. Cant wait for part two. Thankyou
Another fun tutorial Thanks guys.
Oh my goodness!! I have the exact same sewing machine! I bought it in 1974 and still use it to this day and it runs beautifully! Your quilt is darling!! I love watching you guys! Thanks !!
😊❤️
So so talented
The “thumbs up” button isn’t strong enough for my feelings about this video. I need a “LOVE” button. I am absolutely itching to get my sewing machine out to start making a crazy quilt right now. Thank you!
I have thought tge same thing many times❣💕💗
All I needed is for the two of you to lead me down another rabbit hole.😂😂 Wonderful tutorial. Although I have made several quilts, quilting is not my "thing". But I am so eager to create a crazy quilt now! Love the concept of one square at a time. Thank you!
I also LOVE your brave approach. Nothing is “wrong”. Be brave! Just CUT the fabric!!
I love the fact that you use tools like most of us have and not the state of the art perfect tools.. like dull scissors and a kitchen towel for a press cloth. Also doing it on a regular dining table. It's encouraging to see you guys "making do" with what you have. I was raised with the mindset of "Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without.". Times are not that difficult for me as that, but I still don't like wasting anything. I have my grandmother and my mother's clothes. I have a memory quilt that my mother hand pieced with my grandmother's dresses, that were cotton. It is grandmother's fan. I think a crazy quilt is a perfect idea for me to make with my mother's clothes as they are not all cotton. Mixed fabric will be great on a crazy quilt. Thank you, I learn alot from you two! Great personalities that are enjoyable to watch also!
I love quilts but have stayed away due to the precision that seemed to be required to complete one. You both have opened a whole new world of thought on this issue. So much fun to watch the beautiful creation that was made from just scraps. I love the free form....I was never able to color within the lines.... Thank you for such an enjoyable podcast.
It is so great getting ideas/inspiration in your videos for creative ideas, but also ideas for reusing/repurposing items!
Your patchwork is so beautiful. I love this idea. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The wedding dress comment made me giggle. I made my own wedding dress back in the 80's. Then I cut it up and made the most shabby chic tea cosies imaginable.
Beautiful!
Arne and Carlos your square is really fantastic!
Freedom is what we need more in crafts... getting older I seem to have lost some of it!
But you have inspired me and the fact that you iron every seem is so good.
Thank you for showing us how to be free....
Please keep up the wonderful work.
Anita from South Africa
que belleza!!!!!!!!!!!!FELISITACIONES.
That lace square is stunning!
Thank you!
That turned out beautiful
FABULOUS
Beautifully crazy!
What I enjoy about watching your videos besides all of the contents is the kindness and respect you show to each other! And all of this sprinkled with laughter and humor. Love you and thanks!
You guys know how to do everything! Love these quilts. ❤
I just started a crazy quilt after watching this video. I'm using old fabric I inherited from my great grandma. It's so fun! Honestly, more enjoyable than doing things by the book. :)
This has really made things more accessible to me. I have difficulty reading patterns and have stalled with quilting because of this. Thank you so much. I love your whole vibe, inspiring!
Thank you and have fun quilting!
So inspirational 🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Preciosos trabajos me encantan
Love these guys!
Thank you! The hesitation is gone, heading to thrift shops and hoping that fabric store has embellishments as beautiful as your treasures... Smiling and waving from Nova Scotia, Canada ....
I do not however understand why such talented men in these areas do NOT havensharp scissors….my ABSOLUTE in this world
Beautiful!!👌👏👏👏👏
You guys are a force to be reckon with. Amazing what can be accomplished with odds & ends. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Wow this is beautiful ! And I love that cotton pink you use to fill in at the end and it would be easier to sew together on other blocks ! Ty for sharing !
You are welcome, thank you for watching!
Adore you two guys!! This is a treat to watch. Sometimes I’d wonder at your choices but then watching the magical reveal when it was sewn and ironed and it worked! Fabulous.
Thank you!
I don’t know how I came upon you video, except I was looking for a beautiful and easy method of reducing my stash. You guys WIN for the best creation of a crazy quilt, a step above the others. Thank you.
I can look and listing all day long,loooove you 2
Love! Love! Love! Look out I'm going to get my scrap boxes!!!😉
I really enjoyed watching the spontaneity of your designing. Thank you for showing this!
you are so lucky to have those beautiful fabrics
While I have never quilted, I have always wanted to make a crazy quilt using velvet bits and doing embroidery over. Thank you for teaching us and boosting our confidence to try!
This tranquil video is medicine for our times.
😊
Love this technique with all the delicate fabrics and love this video. I used to make wedding dresses and formal wear and have saved some of my fabrics for just such a purpose. I do string quilts now like my mother used to do, but thank you for inspiring me to get my fabrics out.
That must have been a fun career, have fun quilting!
Beautiful work!
Love that guys . Thank you
You are welcome!
You did good job I love to watch you thanks
Crazy quilting is a lot of fun! I love that with quilting as for so many other crafts; there is a style to suit everyone. You can be measured and detailed. Geometric, abstract, curvy, whatever you like! I’m glad that a lot of quilters will now be enjoying your videos, and I’m sure there’ll be more like me who enjoy a range of crafts. As you do! I found you because I was looking for knitting, and was so glad to find you because I also love embroidery, gardening, cooking, crochet, sewing etc etc! There really is something for everyone :)
i use velvet and satins found from thrifty stores for crazy quilts. looks good man.
I love watching you both
I watched you in October last year and made these crazy squares and put 4 squares together and put them on tote bags I made for Christmas. I loved doing it. Thanks.
Love the block , the quilt will be beautiful. I have made Christmas stockings using that method. I am a hand quilter, I have made a few. I just like the the process of hand quilting....it’s calming. Have a great evening.
Love watching you make Crazy Quilt square. Pretty , Arne 😊
Thank your for watching!
Wonderful I have loads of Christmas fabrics.I used my wedding dress to make a princess dress for my granddaughter so have lots of bits of that left as well stay safe
That's perfect use for that!
You guys are amazing...
I have enjoy you both. Thank you for showing me what to do with all my scraps. Audrey Joyner, Pennyslvania USA
I love your cream quilt!
Beautiful ❤❤
This reminds me so much of the little quilts they make in India. They use the same technique with bright, colorful fabrics and they do beautiful ornate embroidery and beading over top. So fun to look at every detail.
What a clever way to do make quilts and you use up all the scraps always learning new things from you guys thanks you Arne .Love to see the end results.xx
Second time I've watched this 💜saved for future reference...to see one. RUclips Waynesville NC USA 🇺🇸 Veteran 💜
I enjoy your random choices of the various fabrics, I know many people could not be so carefree with their quilts😊
It is a lot of fun this way!
WOW I have watched this 3 times and each time I have enjoyed it more , thanks Arne & Carlos I am inspired to go for it and have fun .
Do it!
Dear Arne and Carlos. I have always been in awe of quilt makers but never knew where to start myself. I'm much less frightened now that you have broken the process down for me. Small achievable steps can a quilt make! Thank you as always xx
Glad to be able to help!
Fascinating! I could watch you two all day!
thank you so so much. I quilt and have trouble following quilting patterns. I have been creating my own blocks and thinking I was doing things wrong. You have convinced me that it is ok to go on my own path. I appreciated your approach so much. From an loving fan Kathleen
Love watching you guys
Thank you for watching Vickie!
This was so enjoyable. I found my self finishing your sentences and choosing the fabric. Thanks lots of fun.
Interesting to see how your sewing develops.Beautiful fabrics. Love to hear your interesting stories as well. Can listen to you two forever.
Hi, guys! I watched you only once, subscribed, lost you, and I just found you again. Glad to see you! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas! Looks lovely!❤
I am inspired!! My mind is percolating with lots of ideas for my fabrics!😁
Those scissors! You poor soul! Yes, Arne, I hope you do go back to sewing!! It is so inspirational and instructive watching the two of you do this. The teamwork and conversation between you two imparts such fun! I would love to see a video where both of you sit and just play with your beautiful fabrics and show us what lovely things happen from "no plan at all" and working together. Today so many quilts are made with such painstaking plan and precision; but the antique method of crazy quilting is so gorgeous and freeing. And I'm most definitely looking forward to the follow-up to this tutorial!!
Your video is so inspiring,thank you!❤
So lovely.
Hello Arne and Carlos. Just found your how to do Crazy Quilt Square. I watched your video last week and this square was my "Favourite". The colours are beautiful. Adding the lace makes a feminine vintage look. Lovely. Thank You to you both for another enjoyable video.
I never knew about sewing the patches down to a backing fabric. I wondered how you sew all those shapes together. Now, I know and am really looking forward to the next video. Thank you for showing this.
I loved to watch the. Creativty so enlightening. Thanks for showing your BEAUTIFUL square.I wish you could Make bags with that .beaded fabric, so very BEAUTIFUL
I'm sure you could use the same technique and fabrics of your own choice to construct enough base material to make any number of bags. It would work as though you were designing your own fabric for your own creations, yes? That's what I would do anyway. *now hunting down amazingly beaded fabrics* :-)
Thank you, Arne and Carlos! As always I am so happy to be learning a way to make something beautiful and not „the only right way“. I think any child would love a crazy quilt exactly because of the stories in the fabric. The ones actually remembered like „this is from the fabric/garment of...“ and the ones just made up because they look at the fabrics and think about dragon scales, princess dresses, like to touch of this one, see a treasure in that one..... I remember doing this a lot as a kid with a blanket or rug somebody made.
You are truly inspiring and always helping me to remember that a hobby like knitting or sewing should be fun and beautiful not a showcase of how I followed all the rules. ❤️
I love the idea of using left over fabrics as Ive got piles of materials but the labour involves I'm 81 yrs now with a very clear vision I use to sew a lot for my family and neighbors n friends at the moment I am knitting and chroteting it is more comforting then I don't have to be on my feet a lot I watch your programs on a regular basis I am buying wool from my pension money n can only afford acrilic wool as give away all. My compleld products as gifts to the people I love I would appreciate if you could help me with left ower wool that you don't use I am from Cape Town SA and is facianated by you two it give s me so much joy to watch you both cooking and all your scills especially during the covid onse again thank you for your programs Mrs Kamalie from Grassy Park My husband died 12 yrs ago of cancer so I got lots of time n is hooked on your programs
Thank you so much for watching and you are keeping busy!
I have never seen a book that is THE way to do a quilt. I started learning about quilting in the 1940s from my grandmother and the ladies who came to quilt. Quilting is one more type of handwork that is handed down and learned by hands on teaching. Now we worry about the proper way to do these things. Then it was a way to express yourself. As designers, you get to be the experts and can advocate whatever you wish.
We should all just do it the way we want.
