Still Crazy...

I have two lovely old crazy quilts from the 1890s (one is dated) that I keep away from bright light, but today I took them outside for photographs. They're fragile, and I seldom look at them, so it was nice to have a record of the beauty and workmanship someone stitched together so long ago.

These are beautiful! I love old quilts. My grandmother made some quilts, and I am fortunate to have them. These are treasures.

[Abigail Forrest]

That's quite a treasure! Beautiful! :)

Very nice workmanship someone had a ton of talent. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful stitchery. More than a quilt--a work of art.

Beautiful stitchery

Beautiful. Quite the keepsakes, Louise. How did you come to get them?

[Rick Schies]

Oh wow Louise, they are really quite nice, and the colors are still nice and bright.

@aglennc Funny you should ask! I remember finding one at an antique show in St Charles, Missouri, but today, when I realized I had two, I couldn't recall where I'd acquired the second one! (They've been in the same place for about 25 years!)

@Weezilou That sounds familiar. I have crazy quilt squares my grandmother did, possibly before I was born, that have never been put together. I knew it, forgot it, and discovered them in the back of a cabinet recently. Wish I had someone that could machine quilt them together for me.

Such a beautiful thing. That's what I call vintage (overused word these days).

A beautiful piece of work
