Crazy Quilt Christmas Stockings (Paperback)

Learn this traditional technique to make beautiful holiday stockings. Popular since Colonial times, crazy quilting is a wonderful way to use scraps of mismatched, irregularly shaped fabric, piecing them together into a collage of textures and colors. In Victorian times, decoratively embroidered seams were added, as were embellishments of beads, lace, ribbon, and buttons. In Crazy Quilt Christmas Stockings, you'll learn how to use this old-world technique to make seven holiday stockings. You'll start with a very basic project and progress to more elaborate designs, using the detailed step-by-step instructions, photographs, and illustrations. The finished projects make lovely gifts and are sure to be cherished for many holiday seasons to come.
