For January's Daytime Stitch-in we will start a series of sessions on Crazy Quilting. This first meeting will cover the history of crazy quilting. We will also review books on crazy quilting, and discuss the variety of fabrics and fibers we can use to make them. Bring any books you have on the subject and also any examples/pieces of crazy quilts you have. In February we will start construction of our crazy quilt piece.
