Description: Part I and Part II give an in-depth history of Crazy Quilting by Betty Pillsbury in collaboration with Rita Vainius
Dyed and Gone to Heaven – An Online Magazine and Needlework Resource The History of Crazy Quilts, Part I By Betty Pillsbury in Collaboration with Rita Vainius Crazy Quilting, that wonderful Victorian pastime, is enjoying an immense resurgence in popularity. However, crazy quilting is somewhat of a misnomer. It is not quilted like a typical quilt, that is, no quilting stitches nor batting are employed in its construction. Also, one's mental balance does not have to be in question to crazy quilt! Rather, a crazy quilt is a unique conglomeration of randomly pieced fancy fabrics with embroidered embellishments on nearly every seam and patch. But it did not start out this way. The evolution of the Crazy Quilt, as we recognize it today, is a journey that illustrates the triumph of women's imaginativeness and ingenuity in the face of unimaginable trials and tribulations.
