In the technical sense, crazy quilting is not really the same as the traditional quilting most people are familiar with. Crazy quilting is the creation of a patchwork design. It’s a technique that involves the sewing of irregularly shaped pieces of fabric that is later heavily embellished with embroidery stitches. This activity dates back to the Victorian era where the quilted pieces were mostly decorative and not at all useful.

Nowadays, crazy quilting patterns result in functional items such as bags, evening purses and ornaments. All you need to get started are quilting supplies that are easily found in many stores on the internet. You can even buy beginner kits that already include all the materials you will need to complete a project.

I once caught a makeover show on cable TV that targets businesses. What the host does is look at the business, pick out what is going wrong (because the establishments they feature are either slumping or not earning enough), have the business close down for two days so they can renovate the whole place while the business owners and their staff get some pampering at an upscale salon.

One of my favorite episodes was the makeover of a Californian location. The host replaced the bar’s old bar stools with new, shiny oak bar stools that matched the new Mexican theme of the place. The host also got rid of the a lot of the “clutter” surrounding the place; that clutter was called “memorabilia” by the owner and the host had to pry some of the items from the latter. The result was a more inviting place, one that looks like the happy taco place the owner wanted to project, and no longer the dingy old neighborhood joint.

The new apartment complex that we visited was really beautiful. The building’s lobby was done in rich, tasteful colors, with subtle elegance provided by lighting chandeliers. The waiting area for guests was also comfy-looking and had this relaxed atmosphere. The receptionist was attentive and cheerful, seemingly eager to help us.

She assured us that security in the building was tight and that the building’s administration is quite flexible when it comes to renovations. I asked to see the hallways, corridors, fire exits and all that. Everything looked like it had excellent construction.
