| Crazy Quilting | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have been an avid crazy quilter for a number of years now. My love is based not just on the way it looks, but the fact that so many different techniques can be used in it- I don't get bored! Embroidery, beading, ribbon work, painting, image transfer, and the use of just about anything that can be stitched on or over to hold it to fabric are all used. Here is some of the work I've done. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is an evening purse I made for my sister in law. It's all blacks and metallics. It's a clutch with a flap; here it's open. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This is the center of a memory pillow I made for my mother. That's her, in her mid or late 30s, in the center pic. I used some oriental fabrics for her youth in the Philippines. I got this pillow made just in time- she died 9 months later. This pillow won a blue ribbon at the county fair. |

| My mother working at the last for-pay job she held, winding yarns for woven wood blinds. I did the tatting. That's a bamboo branch over the picture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The main picture of a memory pillow for my Aunt Dorothy. This is a portrait taken probably around the mid 1960s. The leaf beads are shell; the green beads below the picture is a fringe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
