Crazy Quilt Wreath
This was my first project. I made it following directions by Judith Montano. Many of the fabrics and trims are family momentos. As I was making the wreath, I kept a project journal. In it I described making the wreath and where the family momentos came from as well as stories about the individual people to whom the momentos once belonged.
vest because it matches almost everything in my wardrobe.
Crazy Quilt Vest 
Crazy Quilt Flat Basket Wall Hanging 
This piece was made using a painted handkerchief of my great aunt's and some laces that were hers also.
It is about 8" across and completely hand sewn. There are 32 pieces in the front. I have it hanging from a grapevine wreath in my living room.
Crazy Quilt Heart Ornament
Small Crazy Quilt Heart Ornament
A four inch heart ornament made in jewel tones. It's hard to tell, but the blob to the right of the butterfly patch is a button with a neat 3-D effect. It has two strands of seed beads hanging from it. I put the button on to cover up the mess I made where the seams joined, and it turned out to be my favorite part of the whole thing.Click for a larger than life view of the heart.
