Barbara – I have already re-created one in my collection. It needs some additional top surface embroidery, but other than that, all the channels, etc. are done. It was a fun challenge. I believe I stopped working on it because I could not find a thin, shiny thread that would simulate what was used in the original. If I can find the appropriate thread sometime, I’d like to finish it. Even so, to show the original alongside my reproduction is an example to students to show the stages of development.

Try it, you’ll like it! Pat

Thanks for showing off my treasure. Better than collecting these pieces of art, why don’t you and I challenge each other to make one in all our spare time (LOL)!

Patricia, your quilt is beautiful. I have recently started reproducing my one. I was fortunate enough to see the original when the Shelburne Collection was on tour.

Oh, yes! I have made crazy quilted vests, a jacket, needleholders, miniature quilts, quilted wallhangings, and a crazy quilted Butterfly.

I have taught Crazy Quilting, and given lectures on its history, and have written a number of articles for publication, both on my website and in The Quilter magazine. The Victorian Age is one of my favorite periods for textiles.

Beautiful, Pat. I didn’t know you liked doing this kind of work. So fun to see!

No, I don’t know that one, but if I did, I’m sure I’d sing it! (big grin)

Your just an old tree hugger. At church did you ever sing. “Just like a tree planted by the water I shall not be moved?”
