Crazy Quilts

History - Techniques - Embroidery Motifs

By Brick, Cindy & Kirk, Nancy

Publishers Summary:
A celebration of the Crazy quilt, this book by a distinguished quilting teacher, appraiser, and restorer traces the bewitching history of these quilts from their earliest origins to the present day. Cindy Brick follows the Crazy quilts development from colonial times through the Civil War, the Victorian era, and the emergence of modern Crazies. She also decodes the meaning of the curious images stitched into these quilts, from flowers to fans and farm animals. Along with this history, the book includes a detailed how-to section on planning, piecing, and embroidering or embellishing a Crazy quilt, plus an appendix of vintage embroidery patterns. Her exquisitely illustrated book is as delightful to page through as it is instructive to read.
