Crazy Quilting Volume 2: Ribbon Embellishments (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519182777)

Crazy quilting is a type of patchwork that includes embellishments on the seams, patches, and borders. This embellishment always includes embroidery and often includes other elements. The Crazy Quilt Volume series examines these types of techniques in more depth. The Volume I: Beyond the Basics focused on the design aspect of planning a project and broadly discussed enough embellishment techniques for a novice to create a crazy quilt. This book, Volume II: Ribbon Embellishments contains designs and instructions for several types of ribbon techniques. The best known in the Crazy Quilt area would be Silk Ribbon Embroidery. However, this book goes beyond the standard Victorian style clusters of flowers and instructs on using ribbon to create miniature gardens, samplers of floral stitches, several types of monograms in ribbon, seams that can include ribbon components, stitching over fabric images with ribbon, and creating ladies with beautiful ribbon skirts on their dresses. Plus so much more!
