Antique Victorian CRAZY QUILT Silk Satin Velvet Embroidery 61 x 53” circa 1880s | eBay
The American Crazy Quilt Exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art has sadly ended, but I (Teri) had many more pictures from my visit that I wanted to share. Kara and I are working on a crazy quilt sampler for a six-month class we are going to be teaching at our local quilt shop, and the inspiration in these quilts abounds. We hope you will be as inspired as we are. Enjoy! Crazy Quilt with Striped Ribbon Border, c. 1885; made by Annie Shakman Heller, possibly in Baltimore, MD I loved this sweet little umbrella! Crazy Quilt with Ice Cream Cone Border, c. 1885; American Close-up of ice cream cone border This silk bookmark was an English import. Crazy Quilt with Peacock Medallion, 1881-1889; attributed to Katie Mattingly Edwards in West Virginia Peacock feather detail. What wonderful combination seam stitches! Crazy Quilt with Wheel Motifs, 1887-1888; made by Roberta Lee Barnes in Baltimore, MD Printed designs, sometimes "cigarette silks," were often included in crazy quilts. Center medallion, Dresden Plate, with the maker's initials One of the fan designs A corner block Crazy Quilt with Center Star and Blue Velvet Border, 1883-1888; made by Augusta Adèle Smith, in Baltimore, MD Lazy daisy flowers Artist's palette Crazy Quilt with Initial "M," c. 1885; made by Minnie K. Minderlein in Baltimore, MD Ribbon flower with chenille stems and leaves Ribbon buds Wheat: ribbon and chenille thread Wheat: ribbon This quilt was full of beautiful botanicals. Queen Anne's lace Tiger lily Pansies Calla lilies Such stellar stitchery! To see our first post of photos from this exhibit, click here. Now I feel the urge to go do some stitching on my own crazy quilt blocks. We'll share our final mini-crazy quilt in a few weeks. Happy stitching!
I am so impressed by the embroidery on this quilt. Someone put in a printed piece (the one in the center here), entitled "Love's Blessing." It's cool how much creativity they had before TV rotted people's brains, and the time to carry out their vision, too!
All the blocks are done now on the quilt from last year. The next stage of putting them together will most likely take me awhile, so a few more close-ups and an all-together shot. Will take a better shot soon. Happy Jewel-tone Stitching Phillipa
The theme of Bees, Butterflies and Beetles was so popular, that a second group of stitchers formed another round robin so they could play, too! In BBBII, the talented stitchers were Margreet, Darlene, Cathy L, Ritva and Beryl - representing countries from all over the world!

I've taken a lot of pictures of vintage Crazy Quilts, but not very many modern day interpretations. I was especially happy to see 2 contemporary CQ versions at the Arizona Quilters Guild show. All Creatures Large and Small by Gerlinde Hruzek won First Place in the "Other" category. This artist used so many mediums in the making of her quilt: Needlepoint, embroidery, applique, crochet and ribbon work to name a few. The far away picture just does not give justice to how wonderful this quilt really is. The close up shots give a much better visual. Look at the imagination and variety! Someday I would really like to make a Crazy Quilt. (Maybe it's because I'm a little crazy?) These pictures bring wonderful inspiration. I could have stared for hours to visually absorb all there was to see. It almost felt a little bit like an I-Spy quilt. Do you spy 3 cats? Or a fish? Imagination made and quilted by Sheila Groman Sheila wrote "Imagination is a fanciful Crazy Quilt created with applique, standard and silk embroidery, ribbon, lace, heirloom gloves, needlepoint, crewel, beads, cross-stitch, and tatting." Whew! Yes, I'd say Imagination is a perfect title.
Thearica over at Pigtales and Quilts is having a crazy quilt party and contest. The purpose is to raise awareness of the ART of crazy quilting. Crazy quilts are all too often snubbed at shows and competitions because some people do not consider them to be real quilts. Well, they may not be machine stitched to within an inch of their lives, LOL, but the layers are there. Crazy quilts are pieced on a foundation fabric and then backed to form a “quilt sandwich”. Various assembly techniques are used, including attaching front to back with ties, buttons, beads, hand or some machine stitch-in-the-ditch (or any combination of those). We also make use of false backs (the quilting is done to a stabilizing layer that is enclosed within and covered by a pretty backing fabric). All in all, crazy quilts require the same skill set as regular pieced quilts - PLUS embroidery, beading, ribbon work, and any number of other embellishment techniques that the artist chooses to incorporate. But, it’s time for me to step down from my soapbox, and show you some of the crazy quilting I have done over the last 12 years. I have been blessed to have taken classes from Betty Pillsbury, Carole Samples, Judith Montano, Sharon Boggon, Helen Gibb, Candace Kling, Allison Aller, Martha Green, and many others. To the skills I have learned from them I have added my own spin. Here are some of my pieces, in rough chronological order from 2000 - 2011. My first piece was a vest; this is a portion of one side. I entered this block in the first Quilting Arts Calendar contest, and won! This block was featured in the 2002 Calendar as the November block (under my former married name of Cathy Flox). Pansy Block: “Thoughts of You" In 2003, I wanted to try a wool quilt. Got it all pieced, but never finished it. It was fun, though! A ribbon motif from my first round robin in Crazy Quilting International: Roses (2007) An autumn pillow. Mr. Squirrel’s tail is mink. One of several purses entered over the years in the CQI contests. It is up for sale now in my Etsy shop, even though it is one of my very favorites! “Images of Africa" “I Love Paris” purse, Side B “I Love Paris” purse, Side A A round robin block from a couple years ago My stitching contribution on a Hears and Flowers block A Flower Fairy themed block Another Flower Fairy themed block A Teatime wallhanging I donated to CQI. It was auctioned off on Ebay, with proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (2011) Another round robin block This block was for a Birds round robin Another block for the Birds round robin Well, I hope you have enjoyed the show. Take some time to visit Pigtales and Quilts and the other crazy quilters who have exhibited their work there. Hugs,

I am teaching my Crazy Quilted Block Holder class at MissyMoo next term. Missy Moo is a patchwork shop in Croydon, Victoria. This is an unusual colour palette for me. I had some Asian themed fabric and used red, gold and black fabric. Of course you can do any colours that you like. The class will run for 4 lessons but there will be a week in between each class so there will be enough time to complete the work. I always think that it is so interesting to see what the block looked like before I added the embroidery. I have another block holder in pink and I use it all the time to keep my blocks clean and flat while I am completing the next block. This is what the block holder looks like on the inside. The class will run on Monday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm. The dates are 24th April, 8th May, 22nd May and 5th June. Bye for now, Linda

It is still so hot but it is already September, only four months for the New Year! Pamela Kellogg's 2016 Calendar just released, I'm looking forward to get my own copy to review it. By the way, I'm so excited for being "May page" of that lovely project. I did a special block according to project format. My friends, followers know it well that I keep some items for the special projects, I used lots of them to create my "May block".Pam sent me a lovely blue bird photo, I printed and decided to create a block mostly with blue+pink colors. I just used a dark blue color lace trim and golden color ric-rac and a beaded lace, I did all other seam treatments myself. There were some dark blue+blue+white combo little oya flowers, I put them on to pink patch, my little bird now looking them:)) The fabric of that mentioned patch specially hand dyed from our southern part. I love to use those fabrics for the quilts that I make according to paper piecing method, their performance is great, no comparison with the standard cotton fabrics. As I mostly do, I used a Chevron stitch as a base, kept stitching, added lots of beads, with some contrast colors. I especially made some long patches to create long seam treatments. I added some other stiff type oya flowers on the dark blue patch, they really popped up. I did spider rose flowers with variegated silk ribbon. It is our locally produced silk ribbon. I really like their natural color scheme. I also used same type of ribbons to create leaves and other SRE works, as well. As I told before, I used many special items. My vintage Czech buttons the most important ones. Their story is interesting for me. I was going to Ankara frequently during my daughter's college years. One day, I went to an old store that was selling elegant accessories in my youth, as being a naval family, we located in different places, one of them was Ankara, our capitol city. My mother's choice was always haute couture and she was getting real special things from that shop for her tailor made dresses. After all those years that little shop's goodies were still so exclusive. I selected lovely trims and I noticed a small button but it was on their little showcase. He told me if I've interested in with buttons he could bring me some boxes from storage. I waited a few minutes, he came back with two boxes which were full of Czech buttons. He said, these are only samples, most of them discontinued products, I bought them long time ago, nobody interested in with them, just select as you wish just pay a symbolic money. You can imagine what I felt that moment, I bought lots of wonderful buttons. But, I still blame myself, why I didn't buy those two boxes with all those buttons!!! In those days I was a Newbie, I didn't know the value of them. I tried to catch color harmony as much as I can, colors of my block are so soft, I tried to take photos in day light however, I believe that they don't justice real colors but I'm happy with outcome, I really enjoyed so much to create something for the coming year. It is a great honor to take part in that project among all those well talented&experienced Ladies:)) So, I tried my best to create a special block using special items from my stash. I hope you like my "May page" and entire calendar. Wishing you all the best....

I realised that I haven't added many of these photo's here, so thought I would. These are of my Crazy Quilt with Grandmother's Fans. It took 4 years between 1992-1996 and I sold it in 2009(ish) for $70000AU.
I can finally show you my completed crazy quilt block made for our 2008-2009 guild president. She received her quilt last night. I was so pleased she chose this theme for her quilt. I really enjoy hand embroidery. It was so much fun to see all of our unique styles blended together in a quilt. This quilt is such a treasure!! Guess What? Can You Tell I'm Excited?? Yesterday I woke up to the news that I had won such a beautiful gift from Embellisher at Million Little Stitches. For her 125th post she gave away this amazing heart sampler. I have been following her blog for a long time and always enjoy seeing her creative ideas and little pieces of her life far across the oceans. Thank you so much! I will cherish your gift. My new bolts of fabrics have arrived and are ready to be dyed. Keep an eye on my blog. I plan to pass my good fortune on with a Dye Candy Fabric giveaway in a week or two (once my dye lots are finished and photographed). Have a wonderful rest of your week! Chris

Only two more tasks to learn on my Crazy Quilt Beginners Class - it has been a lot of fun learning the Silk Ribbon Flowers. Here's Task #9 - pretty little blue flowers. These flowers are made by using a 2mm Silk Ribbon and making a french knot and then piercing the needle in and out along the ribbon creating a fold, until you take the needle back through the material near where you came up. The trick is not to pull the ribbon too tight or you end up with a small mess. Small Blue roses Task #10 - We completed the rose climbing vine and flowers. The leaves are made with 2mm ribbon and a japanese stab stitch. Before you stab the end of the ribbon, you create a small rise by lifting the ribbon over something, I used a crotchet hook. This makes the leave rise up and not lay flat giving more dimension to the work. The Roses are made again using 2mm ribbon and a French Knot together with three Flystitches. Climbing Rose Vine We learnt three different types of roses and each one gives a different look. Next task is to put on all the beading and charms. Block after Task #10
When I was a little girl my mother had several Hummel Figurines sitting on shelves as decorations in our home. Because of their delicate nature, I was not allowed to touch them, so I spent many hours staring at the porcelain details. They became "surrogate dolls" where I would imagine myself inserted into their farmland settings. It brought back a lot of memories to view Geri Hruzek's Little Darlings Crazy Quilt at the Arizona Quilters Guild Show Hummel figurines were based on the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel and became popular during WWII. Soldiers stationed in West Germany sent the figurines home as gifts and they quickly became a collectors item. Geri won a Honorable Mention ribbon at the show. She wrote: "Completely handmade including the piecing, embroidery, embellishments, appliques and quilting." Wow Look at the detail! I can't imagine how many hours went into all of the embellishments and stitching's. Apple Tree My mother's figurines are long gone now. I wonder if they might have been donated to a thrift shop when styles of collectables changed. I enjoy the figurines on Geri's quilt even more. Crazy quilts always have so many fun places for the eye to look in just one small section. Beautifully done!

Short on blogging time this month... Just returned to the soggy Northwest after 8 days of visiting my Mom, family and Minnesota bead friends. Thought you might like to see a few pictures.... The picture at the top of the post is a group of hand knitted pumpkins and one gourd by Pam Ehlers Stec. Pam is a member of the Bead Journal Project (08-09) and planning on joining again in 2010. Pam, Julie (my sister-in-law), Brenda B (our BJP web mistress) and I got together at Julie's for an evening of beading and show'n'tell a week ago Thursday.... much ooooohing, talking, laughing and even a little progress beading. Then Sunday we all went to the Bead Bazaar sponsored by the Upper Midwest Bead Society. Whaaaa-hooooo! That was way fun too! More? You bet! Monday afternoon we were joined by Carmen (who we HOPE will join the BJP next year) and had a second bead-a-thon at Pam's house. Way to make it hard for me to go home, girl friends! Pam's home was filled with beautiful quilts, dolls, beadwork and other handmade art. OMG... I couldn't settle down to bead until I had looked at and fondled every piece. She's so multi-talented! Here are a few things I photographed... Above are Pam's framed BJP pieces for this year. You can see them individually by scrolling down the posts on her blog, here. This is a beautiful pieced and quilted, batik wall-hanging. I love the way these thistles look! This is a wonderful wall-quilt... warm, compelling, exciting! This is what Pam was working on... a hand-dyed wool, crazy-quilt block. I'm in love with it! She offered to take off the little papers that say "lavender, parsley, holly-hocks and queen Ann's lace." But I think they're sweet and so said she should leave them on for the photo. Here's a detail that shows her skills in thread and silk-ribbon embroidery! I hope she tells me first if she ever decides to sell this piece! Brenda B completed both years of the BJP and is signed up for another year! You can see her pieces here and here. Once again, it's clear that pictures never do justice to the work! I am so thrilled to have been able to see and touch each of her 24 pages! I was also fortunate to see and fondle the piece above, The House that Seuss Built, created by Brenda for The Beaded Book - a juried competition sponsored by Beadwork Magazine!!!! She won second place! Check out this link for professional pictures of the winning pieces, including Brenda's!!! You can also see some good pictures on Brenda's website, here. The beads on this Seussian structure are are stitched, not glued... more than 1,000 hours!!! And then, there's Carmen, who is just starting to bead, with some guidance from Pam... Here are her first four pieces. These beaded hearts are autobiographical, telling of important transitions in her life. This is Pure. This is Broken. This one is Angry. And the fourth is Content. I'm quite impressed with Carmen's work and hope she will join the 2010 BJP!!! You'd think from the above that all I did was bead, right? Nope, I spent a lot of quality time with my Mom and some with my two brothers and their families. Mom has been in an assisted living place for six years. But recently she's fallen repeatedly. The PT team says she's too weak to live on her own. So we've moved her to a nursing home. I dreaded seeing her there because of the typical stereotype of such facilities. However, this one totally exceeded my expectations and Mom seems very comfortable there, more happy than she's been for quite a while. She's almost 93! Here she is... Ferne, my sweet, wonderful Mom!!! * * * * * Happy Halloween, everyone! This is Lucy! She rules the roost at Matt's house (my brother). An exceptional Halloween kitty, wouldn't you say?!

We are sew excited to share our ultimate guide on how to make a crazy quilt! From planning to stitch type, we've got everything you'll need!
Well, maybe we aren't CRAZY, but we do have a slight obsession with crazy quilts. Both Teri and I (Kara) are fascinated with crazy quilts of all kinds, and we have our good friend and author Janice Vaine to thank for it. At the end of the 2013 Elly Sienkiewicz Appliqué Academy, Jan showed us her latest quilt purchase and her thoughts and ideas for it to be the subject of her next book. When we saw this quilt, it was love at first sight. Embroidery and Patchwork Revisited, by Janice Vaine. See grahamcrackercollection.com for more about Jan. We immediately volunteered to help Jan stitch some samples, and much to our joy (and trepidation) she took us up on our offer. Thus, our fascination with crazy quilting began. Oh, the threads, the stitches, the combinations, the colors! So many options were there for our choosing that sometimes we just had to put it down and walk away. At the next Appliqué Academy, Jan unveiled her beautiful book Patchwork and Embroidery Revisited, and we were able to see the fruits of our labors put into a splendid quilt. Last spring our local quilt shop mentioned that they had some customers who were looking for a crazy quilt class and asked if we would be able to put something together. We of course said yes and put together a couple of samples for the new class that would take place in the fall. Kara's crazy quilt sampler Teri's crazy quilt sampler In both samplers, we used a few motifs from Jan's book, and found inspiration for others from pictures or in our gardens. During that summer, we were at Quilt Odyssey in Hershey, Pennsylvania, perusing the vendors when we came across a booth selling vintage items. Our eyes were immediately drawn to an all velvet crazy quilt hanging on the wall. The velvets were all in the most gorgeous jewel tones, yet the embroidery was simple, which only enhanced the velvets. As we were drooling gazing upon this beauty, the vendor approached us and asked if we needed help (most certainly we did). We asked where she had found the quilt and if there was any information as to its provenance. All she knew was that it came from a small town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and probably was old. That was it; no more details about such an amazing quilt. Teri asked the price and seriously contemplated purchasing it but wanted to think about it first. After all, we were teaching a crazy quilt class soon, and what a great teaching tool it could be! We walked away from the booth and I tried to play the devil's advocate (her husband doesn't believe that part), but we didn't even get two booths away before the decision was made. We walked back to booth and the quilt was gone! Fortunately, the vendor had set it aside with thoughts of keeping it for herself, but relinquished it into Teri's loving hands. All velvet crazy quilt, approximately 72-inches square, dated around 1930. Detail: each block is about 18" square. Note the tree embroidered in the center, found in the center of each block, always placed on a red patch. Since there was very little information about the quilt we began to get creative, wondering how someone could acquire all those different velvets. Did they work in a violin case factory, or better yet, did they work in a place that lined caskets? Those were just a couple of the crazy ideas that we suggested, (because it seems that if one doesn't know the story of a quilt, making up its history is the logical result.) Upon further research, we found out that packs of velvets were able to be ordered, and we also discovered that the pattern for the tree design embroidered in each block was published by Singer around 1930. Those questions were answered, but many more still remained. Who made this quilt that had such thoughtfully placed embroidery and colors? Was it made for anyone in particular? Did the maker nearly lose her mind while piecing all that velvet? We will probably never know. Our crazy quilting class was such a success and the demand so high that we ended up teaching two classes this past fall and have another one scheduled this month. We were both surprised at the response to our class, but shouldn't have been surprised that many others shared our love for this particular quilt genre. What is it about these quilts that catches our attention, and how did this style begin? Piecing small pieces of worn out garments into blankets had been a practice since the Colonial times, but it didn't become an art form until the Victorian era. Some crazy quilts were made with nostalgia in mind and might have scraps of garments that brought thoughts of special people or special days. Other crazy quilts were made by wealthy ladies as a way to showcase there needlework talents. Japanese art greatly influenced the motifs and settings in these Victorian-era quilts. When I was in Maine this past fall, I was fortunate to see an amazing crazy quilt. The stunning quilt was a fine example of a Victorian-era quilt. The embroidery was mostly done in vibrant shades of silk perle, and the motifs and edge stitches were clever and creative. That quilt was a splendid example of why I think crazy quilts are so intriguing—that you almost always see something different every time you look at them. Carla's quilt, detail Yesterday, Teri and I stopped into Patches, our local quilt shop, and saw this gorgeous quilt hanging. It was made by Carla Fultz, who works there and took our class last fall. We were stunned by the beauty of her quilt and loved her color selections. Carla's creative motif choices add quite a spark of interest to her quilt. We were honored that she allowed us to share it with you. Carla's crazy quilt Given our penchant for stories, we found this adorable reprint of a Victorian postcard that depicted Little Red Riding Hood at Grandma's house and have pieced this block using more embellishment. At some point in the future, this will be another class and will allow our students to broaden their repertoire of skills that can be used on their crazy quilts. Little Red Riding Hood, as stitched by Kara The sky is the limit nowadays as to what a crazy quilt can look like and what fabrics, fibers and details can be used. Some are simple with just embroidery, and some have fantastic embellishments throughout. A crazy quilt can be themed with a story, or with color elements, or even using one type of fabric such as silk or velvets. Every crazy quilt is unique to its maker and his or her tastes, and not necessarily a reflection of the maker's mental state . . . well, okay, we may be a LITTLE crazy!
