A friend called me recently and said she had a crazy quilt she wanted me to see...I love calls like that they are such an adventure!
And this quilt did not disappoint!
It 's kind of an interesting version of a crazy quilt. Not a lot of velvet or silks. This quilt is mostly simple, solid cottons but the embroidery is very extensive.
And some of the patterns are unusual.
It was a real treat for the eyes.
Handwork takes on new meaning when studying a quilt like this!
I'm thinking it's probably from around 1900 +/- ?!
Happy over the hump day!
Cheers, CW
WOW! That is one spectacular quilt. The crazy quilt group would love to see it, I know. Our next meeting is June 22nd.
ReplyDeleteI do love all the embroidery, as well as the quirkiness of the quilt overall.
Wow! Such an extraordinary quilt! All those stitches! I saved your photos so I studied it closer later, I hope that is okay.
ReplyDeleteHey Rebecca, I'm sure my friend won't mind. I told her I was going to put the pix on my blog. And you can always take pix of stuff I post. cheers, CW
