Aller, Allison Ann, 1954-2014
Books, Manuscripts
If you cross traditional crazy quilting, some favorite pieced quilt patterns, and today's machine quilting methods, what do you get? Crazy fun for all kinds of quilters, even those who don't like handwork. Allie Aller and Valerie Bothell's guide offers an exuberant mixture - of vintage and modern, of hand and machine work - and clever ways to make traditional quilts a little crazy. Includes 10 projects in sizes from small wallhangings to bed quilts; photo instructions for 15 crazy quilt and silk ribbon embroidery stitches; and tips for combining crazy quilting with machine piecing and embroidery.
