Resurgence of the Crazy Quilt

May 03, 2007 5 Replies

The topic of this post is Crazy Quilting, which is a type of needlework that was popular in the Victorian era and has been gaining in popularity since a resurgence of the craft in the 70's. Crazy Quilting consists of irregularly shaped patches of fabric which are sewn to a backing fabric. The patches are usually embellished with embroidery or trims. Topics for discussion include, but are not limited to: crazy patching, antique quilts, members projects, hand embroidery, machine embroidery, other embellishments (like lace, beads, buttons and ribbons), classes, books, fabrics, ornaments, wallhangings and many others. Below is a photo of my latest quilt. Your opinions are importent to me as i hope to win a blue ribbon this year. Thanks and I hope to start an information exchange and make new friends.

Thanks Jeanne. Good job you were on the ball!

One of those times I wish my computer window showed the next message coming without me scrolling up to look. nzlsars message didn't show on my screen till it was too late. However, I have got a blocker, and will check through the listing of new messages for any slightly altered subject/sender before I just click on the next message automatically.

Thanks nzlstar for changing the subject slightly and keeping the change attached to the original. That was clever - don't know how to do that without making a new subject which defeats the object of the exercise.

Sender plonked, thanks for the warning Jeanne.
