Drawing from my extensive library of Victorian booklets and ephemera, I have compiled a booklet of over 400 stunning graphics for crazy quilt lovers. There are no instructions in this booklet, knowledge of embroidery is assumed. Make these designs simply by stem stitching the outlines, or make them complex by stitching with satin stitch and other surface embroidery. These motifs are also excellent for redwork quilts and other embroidered items.		Victorian Crazy Quilt Motifs Price: $22.00
