Crazy Quilt Christmas Stockings (Design Originals)
Crazy quilting is a specific kind of patchwork (piecing). Irregularly shaped pieces of fabric are sewn together into a collage of textures and colors. The style was popular in Colonial times when women sought to make use of every bit of fabric, recycling clothing to patch worn-out coverlets. In Victorian times the trend became more extravagant; women sewed bits of fancy fabrics?silk, velvet, and satin?into blocks, then into cov"erlets. The seams were decoratively embroidered; the whole piece was sometimes embellished with beads, lace, ribbon and buttons. This book teaches today?s seamstress how to make 7 holiday stockings using traditional crazy quilt techniques. The book starts with a very basic project and progresses to more elaborate designs. The finished projects make lovely gifts and are sure to be cherished for many holiday seasons to come.. Price: $8.99
