Crazy Patch Wall Hanging

Colorful and detailed Crazy Patch wall hanging

Our Crazy Patch wall hanging was made by our head quilter. Her embroidered stitch-work is brilliantly adroit: a garden of embroidery nourished by the fabrics.

Most people have seen crazy quilts – they are made of differently shaped pieces of material – there is no pattern: just a collage of fabrics with fancy embroidered stitches covering the edges of each piece of fabric. This time, the maker downsized to a wall hanging – a beautiful piece of art for any wall.

Crazy quilt patterns can be constructed of fabrics such as velvet, satin and silk and can be embellished with complicated and varied embroider patterns, buttons, lace, ribbons and beads. They can be found in many museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian.

Approximate dimensions: 25″ X 25″ – $350.00

Amish Church Doll

Traditional Amish Church Doll

During the Revolutionary War, church dolls were made for little girls to carry and bring with them into church services. Dolls were given to young girls to keep them occupied during what could be day-long church services. The dolls were made entirely of cloth so that when they were dropped in church they would not make noise and disturb the service. Church dolls were revived during the Civil War as remembrances for those who went to fight and given as keepsakes to soldiers representing the loved ones they’d left behind.

Approximate dimensions: 12” X 4” – $20.00
