Crazy Quilting

 I grew up in a home that is filled with all sorts of embroidery. From embroidery across tablecloths, napkins, towels, bedspreads, pillows, and curtains and clothing items such as aprons, and even on some of my shirts.

And as I grew older, I realized what a treasure these linens were and I now keep them carefully stored and some still being used at home. My grandmother was actually the main person who influenced me in the art of embroidery, and until now she managed to carry on this lovely tradition. I was even more surprised when she handed me all of her embroidery patterns. They are the same patterns that she used when she started making those curtains, bedspreads and tablecloths, which are all still present in my home.

Embroidery is a great relaxing hobby, and has been around for a very long time. You can purchase embroidery kits, that come complete with threads, embroidery fabric, and instructions, or you can start creating your own.

Traditionally, embroidery was used to decorate items like dishcloths, household linens, and doilies, and was taught to young girls, along with other types of needlework. They would start their hope chest with these items from a very young age. You can also draw your own pictures on the cloth and get creative with color. There is no limit. There are also many instructions books that can teach you on how to embroider. With all the great embroidery products and kits on the market now, you can create some very one-of-a-kind art with embroidery.
