Crazy Quilt

Crafters know those pesky fabric scraps can overtake a project space in no time, but rather than brush hers into the trash can, BJ Sandusky stitches them into custom quilts that are winning her accolades in the craft world.

Crazy quilting has been around since the Victorian era. Quilters build their quilt — no pattern necessary — by attaching randomly-sized pieces of fabric to a muslin foundation. Next up is a layer of embellishments — think embroidery, beads, laces and more. Traditional fabrics are fancy and include velvets, satins and silks, but crafters today like to incorporate cottons and batiks too.

Fabrics will be furnished for the students. The class will cover basic crazy quilting skills, block formation, and embroidery. The student needs to bring their own sewing scissors, sewing needles, including Chenille needles and white sewing thread.
