Beautifully embroidered Amish Crazy Quilt
Our “Crazy Patch” quilt was made by the head Amish quilter. The fabrics she chose are magnificent. Her embroidery is brilliantly adroit: a garden of embroidery nourished by the fabrics. What a textile! What a quilt! Crazy Patch quilts 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. They can be constructed of fabrics such as velvet, satin and silk and can be embellished with buttons, lace, ribbons and beads. Crazy Patch quilts can be found in many museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian and require thousands of hours to complete. None that we have seen are more beautiful than this quilt, which we are proud to offer. (Item 1175)
