March is National Quilting Month! Our LIVE last week was focused on Crazy Quilts. If you missed the Facebook LIVE event you can watch it below. My mom, Donna, joined me for this episode sharing amazing patchwork quilts from her collection. See the gorgeous examples in the video.
I added a few photos for you to get a closer look at the “fancy work” techniques we discussed. From beading to painting, crazy quilts contained a multitude of materials and techniques which makes me especially love them for inspiration and ideas for our modern makes!! What’s old is news again, Vintage Made Modern is my mantra!
Beading
Ribbon Embellishments
Beaded Butterfly

I also shared some of the more popular motifs on crazy qults including the spider web for good luck!
