Name of Maker: stitcher

Crazy Among Friends
Name of Maker: Susan,Janie,Debbie,Barb,Wanda,Donna, Sharon,Chris,
Crazy Among Friends - A group of friends would get together, pick out a pattern and each one would do a block for the other. When finished, we would put the blocks in paper bags and then we would all select from a block from each one. The only rule we had was to use the same color scheme. Each month we would meet and have a show n tell. It was up to us to put the blocks together and quilt. This was so much fun and we all ended up with a full quilt.
Postage Stamp Pillow top

Postage Stamp Pillow top - This was my first attempt at postage stamp way back in the 80's time frame. Each square is cut individually, was pinned to a paper background and then pieced. I made the pillow first to get a feel of the pattern. This is as far as I got.....
