Lace, button, pearls, thread and silk ribbon dyeing - at Mary Jo Manes' house

Mary Jo will supply most supplies, but please feel free to bring some of your own as well. We will experiment with a variety of dyes, bleach if we don't like the color and white vinegar to set the color. Mainly it will be a trial and error fun day.

Crazy Quilting (CQ) can be both an old-style Victorian art form and a modern type of fiber art where the bright color combinations and eye-catching embellishments are used. CQ can be done by hand, by machine, or both. Numerous types of needlework techniques can be used in the embellishment, including silk ribbon embroidery, Brazilian embroidery, goldwork embroidery, beaded stitches, and traditional embroidery stitches.

People who are attracted to CQ like lots of visual interest, have a large stash of sewing and embroidery-related items they're saving for some future project, enjoy learning new techniques, and often have several different projects underway at once.

Creativity and spontaneity are the marks of a crazy quilter. Are you one?

RMCQ holds monthly meetings that include short classes to learn new techniques, as well as beginners workshops for an introduction to CQ, and 1- and 2-day workshops with local, national, and international teachers. Come check us out!
