Crazy Quilt Embellishment
Crazy Quilts have lots of different techniques and styles. This day will be focused on embellishment and filled with hand embroidery stitches and learning how to use special items such as jewelry, buttons, lace and ribbon to create a wonderful Crazy Quilt block. You will learn to use embroidery stitches, couching, and other creative stitching to add beautiful texture to your creation. There will be a demo on hand dying lace and appliques as well as a chance to dye your own pieces of lace. Rita is a well-known Crazy Quilter with great ideas for the use of those embroidery stitches to make your Crazy Quilt block or quilt into a wonderful example of your own beautiful handwork.
