Reviews for Crazy-Quilted Memories

[quiltz_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Crazy Quilted Memories by Brian Haggard is a gorgeous book with wonderful inspiration for making your family pictures and small heirloom collectibles into a work of art. The instructions are quite detailed, including various embroidery patterns and stitches to use as accents. Most everyone who sews has an accumulation of buttons, laces, beads, and such that can be used on these projects. I absolutely love this concept and plan to create a family gallery of photos on a wall hanging featuring some of my ancestors using some of the author's techniques and tips.
