Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.29 Fiorucci Patch and Bear Patch

 

Before

To cover the navy rayon bamboo print patch, I wanted something with red...

Rummaging through my "Red" scraps bag, I found a favorite Fiorucci shirt that I bought in the 80s.
It is super faded, but then I looked at the inside...

Nice and bright!

On the right side, I used a kid's conversational print patch. This came from a weird tiny garment bag that Larry let me have.

Done!

I also added some needle weaving, here's a closeup:

Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.26 Friend Patch Visible Mends

Laurey created this patch for the Mend and Make Friends 2023 patch exchange.
We were patch pairs.
I decided to add it to the quilt, and I don't remember what I covered up.

This is the patch in March 2023 before it went on the quilt

Installed

Fast forward 15 months, it now looks like this

worse for wear, as they say

First I worked on the sad orange circle, lower right

French Knots! Blanket Stitching!

Then I decided to do preventative mending on all the other raw edges

It's a Bonanza of Blanket Stitching!

We'll see how this lasts.
