5/18/2012 - Crazy Quilts Scissor Holder

Friday 3-5 $10
3:00 PM -5:00 PM

Just like any art form, crazy quilting has evolved over the years. Originally it was inspired by a Japanese exhibit at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. By 1880 it became quite the fad in the US. In the beginning, fine fabrics and heavy embellishments were the norm. Over the course of the years, women simplified the process and used everyday fabrics such as cottons and wools. What a great way to turn fabric scraps into other sewing projects. Today with the use of embroidery software, an embroidery machine and left over scraps of fabric, small projects like this scissor case can be accomplished in the hoop!
