Crazy Quilt
Originally, one of my quilter friends brought this quilt to me to help repair it. After a while, they realized they would not do anything with it, so they gave it to me. As I began cleaning it up, I decided to add lace to the faded areas to give it a fresh look. The quilt fabric features silk, velvet, and lace, and was most likely the lining of jackets, coats, and silk dresses. The tapestry and connection stitches are all hand-sewn. It is particularly helpful that the date, 1926, is included in this quilt. When I was very young, my mother and Home Economics teacher recognized that I enjoyed sewing and was good at it! In fact, my teacher even allowed me to sew her clothes! Sixty years later, I am still sewing, and it never gets old!
