"Crazy Quilt," Louisa Joiner, 1887-1900.

Unlike many other quilts, crazy quilts are not built around any specific pattern; you take the scraps you have and fit them together in any way that you can make work. While economical (using up the scraps that might have otherwise been discarded), it's also labor-intensive. Some of the pieces have been embroidered as well, and the quilter embroidered her initials on a piece in the lower right.

Little is known about Joiner, other than her husband was a captain who sailed the Great Lakes.

Getting to be time for a quilt on my bed....although it may be a little while yet...

From the Cleveland Museum of Art.

I periodically sort through my leftovers - excess beads from a project, some a bit wonky, experiments, etc. - and stitch together a complete necklace or bracelet. Here's the latest example: feels a bit ancient, like something excavated. The lentil shaped focal bead has a slice of Millefiori cane melted in. #handmade #MastoArt #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworking #millefiori #crazyquilt #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon

I also sewed a lot of knits for my littles and I'm just getting back to using a few knits. I want to make myself #SportsBras, which at least, uses a small amount of fabric. I learned how to copy existing clothing to draft patterns, so I'm on my way. Also thinking of using some smaller scraps for a #CrazyQuilt or some appliqué. Still too many garments to learn how to sew properly first. I did make sleep shorts for my younger grand.
