It was such a nice surprise to see this lovely crazy quilt hanging up in among all the "sane" quilts last weekend at the Rouge Valley Quilters Guild's Show. It's beautifully put together by Betty Wildeman, and all seams are neatly embroidered. There is also lots of embroidery on the individual patches and from what Betty said, it seems most of them relate to friends and family. There are no beads, sequins or button embelishing because this will be a quilt that is used on a bed.
It turns out I sorta shot myself in the foot
