My grandma has an antique quilt made by one of her great great aunt's when the lady was a girl in the mid-late 1800s. It's interesting that historians believe the craze was started because of a japanese piece of artwork. I didn't know that! How cool! Personally, I think the artform must have been around before the craze, but I had no idea it was made popular in that manner. :)
One thing I was told by my grandma was that crazy quilting became a bit of a necessary artform both In the Victorian age and later again during the depression because for many people fabric was precious and you didn't want to waste one single piece of it; because of this, women would save every scrap of fabric they could from when they made their clothes and other household accessories. They would then sew these tiny scraps of fabric (that couldn't be used for anything else) into larger patchwork pieces that they could turn into blankets or other accessories. (I found an antique victorian crazy patch teddy bear at a local antique store and bought it for my grandma. 🙂 But it is beautiful proof in my mind that crazy-patch wasn't just used for blankets). The embroidery was then added partially to show off the women's needle work, and partially to hide any unevenness or mistakes in the seams. It could also be used to secure more delicate older fabrics to a back so that the delicate patch would last longer in the rest of the piece. 😊
My grandma thought that maybe the artform was started as a necessity and probably denoted poverty (since if you had to save all of your scrap fabric to make something, that meant you must not have had enough money to just go buy more fabric) Until it's popularity increased so drastically in the late Victorian age. She is not a historian... Simply a very good seamstress who loves to crazy-patch. But she DID do some minor research on the subject in her younger years and met with people from older generations than hers to learn more about its history. 🙂
Fascinating! Loved every minute of this wonderful video. Thank you.

Amazing tutorial thanks for sharing I love it so much
Love your work, I have several of your books, one my aunt, Jean Fox from San Benito, Texas is in with some of her beautifully embellished articles. She taught me and my mother this beautiful craft.
Hello Judith I'm finally having a go at my first patch tonight going back and forth to your video after being inspired by a lady named Merle introduced me to crazy patch and yourself a few months ago. Pretty sure she attended one of you workshops or classes a very long time ago. Beautiful work thanks for explaining things simply .
You are fabulous. I’ve learned of a few mistakes I have made from this video. Thank you so much. I’m going to order your books for more help. Again, thanks so much.
Oh, I have your book, "Elegant Stitches". Am having a great time working this quilt. A wall sized CQ in burgundies. I'm not doing all the fancy stitches like the book shows, but many of your stitches are being used. Thank you for showing me how!
Yes!!! Crazy Quilting is awesome!! Quilt to the EXTREME!!
I loved it! I would use it though as a cover for photo album, book, note book but not a frame.
Thank you for a great introduction to crazy quilting. Your work is lovely and it is so good of you to share your expertise with us. I think that following this tutorial I will be able to put together a piece and embellish it. The stitchwork, materials and colour theme works so well and I just love everything that you have talked about and shown us today. A pleasure to watch and I imagine this could become addictive. Again, thank you and I have subbed. x
Hi Mary. Since 1985, we've established a large distribution catalog of content. I believe I have a few more pieces like this I could upload. I will take a look and upload them ASAP. Thanks for watching!

At Video minute 34:52 , Judith cuts a peice of lace in half. I watched a CZcams on lace-making about a month ago. A handmade piece of lace like this would have sold for about $500.00, according to the BBC Edwardian era CZcams I watched.
How do you know what type of lace it was?
@@ADHDAquatics I don't. I just watched a BBC Edwardian era history video about lace making. Lace-makers trained for years to learn their craft. It took many hours of labor to make one piece. They were like jewelry. Even if this was a machine-made lace, it would still be a terrible waste of money to cut it in half. It was without blemish. Crazy quilts were a way to use up left-over scraps of fabric and laces that had stains, rips or tears in them that made them otherwise unusable. You would only cut a piece of lace if it were destroyed to the point that you couldn't use it for it's original purpose. I just noticed that Judith was cutting up perfect fabric and lace that could have been put to better use. I like Judith's work. I just thought she was being wastefull.
I agree, it seems that the artform started out as necessity. In the 1800s especially.
Lindo trabalho
👌❣
Lovely
I like very much your explanations, but for me crazy patch is difficult. I don't arrive to join fabric when I have a triangle. When I superimpose 2 fabrics there is always a bord to difficult to cover.
I waited to see the coffee stained Dailey but it didn’t appear. Why?
FIRST!!!
Quick like lightning she is!

Mine is not too crazy quilt -- smtg simple to my eyes😂😂
I'm looking for your books but can't find im in Australia so can you send me details of what there called plus your name
you really need to film your embroidery stitches from your perspective so that when we are trying to learn them we can see them as you make them and we can mimic exactly your moves and your stitches.
How can I see what you are doing with the subtitles in the way? What a pity!
Everything in this video is the same color scheme. Shes got her color wheel stuck
Don't get hung up on color. She likes the cool side of the color wheel. So what? Do your own thing and use reds and oranges and yellows, if those are what you like. I've done monochromatic pieces and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink pieces, and they're all interesting.
It's her choice, her art, I would choose the same colors myself! She might make them in other colors as gifts, but if it's for her, she will choose the colors she likes most.
