The Crazy Quilt Handbook, Revised 3rd Edition

Judith Baker Montano

Montano's handbook is built around embroidery and embellishment, not patchwork blocks — joining irregular silk, velvet, and brocade scraps with a dictionary of decorative stitches, ribbon work, and beading rather than rotary-cut piecing. It's the standard reference for a Victorian tradition with its own vocabulary and tools, distinct from both quilting and general embroidery. Suited to needleworkers as much as quilters.
