"Here's your chance to get up close and personal with an amazing collections of crazies!" - Quilter's Newsletter Magazine.
Made from the finest silks, satins, and velvets and stitched together with elaborate embroidery, the crazy quilt is a testament to quilters' rich imagination and artistry. This beautiful book traces the bewitching history of "Crazies" from their earliest origins to the present day. Distinguished quilting teacher and appraiser Cindy Brick follows the crazy quilt from colonial times, the Civil War, the Victorian era, and through today, decoding the mystery and meaning of these curious quilts. Also included is a detailed how-to section on constructing crazy quilts. Brick offers methods for planning, piecing, and embroidering or embellishing your quilt, and gives numerous helpful tips that only an expert could provide.
Cindy Brick, a nationally recognized expert on crazy quilts, has finally written a book about her passion for this exuberant quilt stye. The first 99 pages explore the history of crazy quilts, from the earliest contained crazies in plain cotton, to Victorian crazies with their over-the-top embellishment on velvets and satins. The final third of the book describes several methods for crazy piecing, followed by a brief section on embellishing of crazy quilts, an appendix of Victorian embroidery motifs, and a bibliography.
Color plates are provided on almost every page, including overview and detail photos of quilts, and images that may have appeared on crazy quilts, including 19th century sewing notions, postcards, political ribbons, etc.
This book wil be very satisfying for anyone who wants photos and historic information. Those who are more interested in the embellishments should look to Carole K Samples or Judith Baker Montano. ( )

"Our lives are patchwork, and it depends on us a good deal how the bright and dark bits get put together so that the whole is neat, pretty, and useful when it is done . . . Every task, no matter how small or homely, that gets well and cheerfully done, is a fine thing; and the sooner we learn to use up the dark and bright bits (the pleasures and pains, the cares and duties) into a cheerful, useful life, the sooner we become real comforters." - Louisa M. Alcott, "Patty's Patchwork," Aunt Jo's Scrap-Bag
