I wanted to add some links to sites with great pictures! I've added a couple below. If you have a gallery you would like to add to this page, please contact me:
Marsha is the Author of The Magic of Crazy Quilting, Bead and Wire Jewelry Art, Motifs for Crazy Quilting, Crazy Quilt Decor, Crazy Quilted Heirlooms and Gifts, Crazy Quilt by Machine, Ribbon Embroidery with 178 Iton-on Transfers, Shadow Work Embroidery with 108 Iron-on Transfer Patterns, Design and Knit the Sweater of your Dreams,and soon a brand new book that I can't wait to see: Crazy Quilting the Complete Guide!
I have only one of her books in the catalog right now, the Magic of Crazy Quilting (2nd edition). This is an absolute MUST HAVE Book. When Crazy Quilters ask me, if they could have only one book on Crazy Quilting, which one I would recommend - this is IT! I hope you will go to our book section http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/catalog/item/5561890/5467781.htm get one for yourself today - I think it is the best, most comprehensive, and most clearly written book on CQ - from start to finish! You'll be happy to have it in your library!and
Betty Pillsbury is an artist, herbalist, and instructor. She has been Crazy Quilting for many years. Her work is beautiful and very artistic. She has been a customer of Evening Star Designs for many years. I see that she often posts advice on the Quiltropolis CQ list. On her beautiful website she sells her herbal products plus many patterns and some books on CQ. I hope you will visit her website!
Just about the time I started to become interested in Crazy Quilting, I happened to land the job at my "sane" Quilting Guild of program director. Leslie Levison was recommended to me at that time (around 1994) to teach CQ to our Guild - and I'm very happy to say that she accepted our invitation!
It was delightful to meet her - she is very talented, fun, energetic - and so very creative! She's been teaching and making Crazy Quilts for many years, and I'm happy to have had the chance to meet her - and even go shopping with her when she came up to teach at our Guild! She has had a very big influence on me, and certainly on hundreds of other Crazy Quilters over the years! I hope you'll take the time to read the following article featuring Leslie put together by the Caron Collection in their online magazine. She's a real inspiration!
Ena Flynn is a long time Crazy Quilt customer, and does absolutely beautiful work! Her Crazy Quilts have won awards, and she has contributed articles to Quilting Arts magazine. Some of her blocks from her "Treasures of the Orient" CQ Series appears in our gallery, and was also used in our ads in Piecework magazine some years ago. This is another website you shouldn't miss!
What a great website! You won't want to miss a trip to Janet Stauffacher's beautiful website and store online! She has so many beautiful things to offer - you must visit and see for yourself!
I recently "met" Janet by telephone, and we had the most delightful conversation! She is the nicest person, and I'm sure you'd find that her page is interesting and informative, as well as containing a great list of Links to beautiful sites, and a tremendous amount of very special and unusual items in her webstore! You'll be very glad you took the time to visit!
I'd like to introduce with great pleasure Candace Harris, a very talented lady, who considers herself "new" to Crazy Quilting! If the beautiful pictures and great information on her site is any indication, she is blossoming into a first-class Crazy Quilt artist! I know you'll enjoy a visit to her site!
I recently received a note from a very nice and talented lady who teaches tatting. She has a great website, and is doing wonderful teaching online.
Her name is Rozella Linden, and she has published several books on tatting, or shuttle lace.
She is doing an online tatting pattern-a-day calendar, and hoped that Crazy Quilters would be interested in seeing the patterns and information!
She also has a blog that shows just the calendar of patterns, a new one each day. Previous patterns are available by clicking on the date in the calendar. That address is:
Her work is very intricate and beautiful! I'm sure that if you enjoy tatting - or even just looking at beautiful handwork, you would enjoy her site very much!
What a spectacular place to visit! Melissa is incredibly multi-talented - visit her sight to see the enormous variety of needlework she excells in! She is also one of the moderators of the Hand Embroidery Group on Yahoo (another great list to join!). Her blog has lots of links, information, instruction, and gorgeous pictures! You don't want to miss a visit to this site!
