The original "Crazy Quilt"

I think I might have seen this like once or twice. But not really too sure I would have only been like 3 when this came out so I don't know lol

I have no specific memory of it but I'm sure I would have watched it since I would have been 6 in 1997. One thing I do remember is an earlier version of Freaky Stories where the cockroach was white instead of blue. That isn't relevant to this thread but that show's mostly lost too and I don't think there's any of the original version surviving so I sometimes wonder if my brain just made it up. I think he was hosting in a graveyard instead of a diner.

Anyway, I did watch Crazy Quilt as a kid and I'm sure I would have seen the original version at the time, but I don't remember it.

I only learned about it recently when I saw the commercial on YouTube. I was surprised since I had only ever seen the raccoon puppet and never knew the show had a tiger as well.

Hello everyone!
I registered on this site specifically to respond to this thread

It's kind of old but I hope someone here is still interested.

This ad for Treehouse TV was not a pilot. It was at least a whole season of Crazy Quilt.

The tiger was Spot and the woman was Zoey.

I remember a few things;
The beginning did not have the blanket come down and the boxes like at the beginning of the episodes featuring Maggie and the Raccoon.

Zoey and Spot did crafts under a giant table, and in one episode had the piller-like table leg decorated with streamers.

Another episode began with Spot running around trying to catch invisible "flutter-byes" before they got into the crafting.

Another episode had ornate black and white windows and doors cut out of magazines and attached to boxes instead of drawing your own
(I tried this myself back then - the results we not quite the same)

Finally - and this is the main one, I actually had it recorded on a VHS tape. There was one episode where the story they told with the crafts was one of some poor people who meet a genie (I think) and make wishes for more and more stuff until the genie gets fed up and all their nice thingd go back to what they had before they met the genie.
I remember because when they showed the washbucket had holes, they used sand and it poured out of the holes. (Made out of a plastic cup)
When the genie gave them a new one, it was gold... with no holes.

I *think* beginning on the first day of public school in Sept. 1998, 1999 or perhaps 2000, the change was made to Maggie and the raccoon puppet.
I remember my sister told me (and we did not like them as much as Spot and Zoey....)

On this day, whichever year it was, other changed were made on Treehouse, for example the bark on the tree in Ants in you Pants was darker, Jane-Saw's voice was different and the ants were less evil...

Anyhow, until this 30 second video appeared, no one believed me that Crazy Quilt had a blonde woman and a tiger.

What is bizarre to me is that there is literally zero information on these episodes featuring Spot and Zoey. All info just says Maggie and the raccoon.

I wish I still had that VHS I had taped.

All in all, there were actual episodes that existed and aired. Both me and my sister remember.

One last thing, I am 99% sure her name was Zoey. The small doubt comes because the blonde girl from Zoom was also Zoey....

Let me know what you think

What I find weird is that after 1998 (the first Maggie & Jackson ones have a copyright date of 1998), they pretty much tried to make people completely forget about this version. The reason why most  people don't remember is because they completely wiped it out of the public eye. 

I’ve tried checking the wayback but pages only go back to 1998 and even then barely anything works.

Btw that one promo clip we have actually originally comes from Retrontario, perhaps asking them could yield some more clips.

Oh I see,
I hadn't realized it was on Vimeo as well. I was citing the description in this version on YouTube, apparently posted 8 years ago:
